226 KLEDITOMA PIOIPES. 



14. KLEDITOMA STRIATA. 

 PL XIII, fig. 3. 



Kleditoma striata, Cam., Fauna, 91, 6. 



Black ; legs testaceous, the coxae black ; trochanters piceous, femora 

 (especially the posterior) blackish in the middle ; wings hyaline, ner- 

 vures piceous-black. Antennas three-fourths of the length of the 

 body and head together ; the third joint nearly twice the length of 

 the fourth, -fourth to ninth longer than broad, transverse, not thickened 

 towards the apex ; the club not abruptly separated, its basal joint 

 being scarcely one-half wider than the ninth, and narrower than the 

 second, which is more ovate and shorter than the twelfth. Meso- 

 notum semi-opaque ; scutellum large, its sides strongly longitudinally 

 striated ; the cup longish ovate, its base more acutely pointed than the 

 apex; median segment pilose, opaque, aciculate; two stout keels 

 (diverging slightly towards the apex) run down the centre ; hair-fringe 

 on base of abdomen large, griseous. 



Length 2 mm. 



As regards the club, it may be said to be inter- 

 mediate between Tetratoma and Pentatoma, but nearer 

 the latter than the former. It is one of the largest 

 species, and is easily known by the clear, bright, tes- 

 taceous legs and piceous antennae. 



On the Clyde near Newton. August.

 PI. XII, fig. 10. 



Kleditoma picipes, Cam., Fauna, 92, 8 (1886). 



Black ; legs, base of abdomen, and flagellum piceous ; wings hyaline, 

 nervures piceous. Antennae nearly as long as the body, becoming 

 gradually thicker towards the apex, without any distinct club ; first 

 joint not one-half the length of the second, third not one-half the 

 length of the fourth, tenth to twelfth equal in length and nearly 

 in thickness ; the last longer and thicker than the preceding. Thorax 

 shining ; sides of scutellum finely striated, its cup minute ; median 

 segment opaque, finely punctured ; the keels nearly parallel ; wings 

 slightly but clearly emarginate at apex; radial cellule narrow, elon- 

 gated, closed at base and apex ; the second abscissa much longer than 

 the first.
