386 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Dec, '06 



in Narnia proper, and the lateral margins are much more dis- 

 tinctly carinated, the surface of the body, also, is not covered 

 with a close grayish mottled pubescence, as in fcmorata and 

 pallidicornis , but the head, pronotum, antennae and legs are 

 well covered with stiff blackish hairs that become concolorous 

 on the pale disk of the pronotum in snowi. 



The shorter basal and fourth joints of the antennae and the 

 less dilated hind tibiae seem to be the best characters for sepa- 

 rating Narnia from Leptoglossus. The length of the rostrum 

 is variable, and while distinctly longer in JVarma proper, in 

 Xerocoris it is scarcely longer than in Leptoglossus. In Narnia 

 proper the vestiture is quite distinct. 



Alydus setosns n. sp. 



Allied to eurinus in form but pale greyish, marked with fuscous some- 

 what as in Stachyocnemis apicalis. Whole body except the elytra clothed 

 with scattering black setae and in places with a matted greyish pubes- 

 cence. Postocular portion of the head longer and more narrowed pos- 

 teriorly and the vertex more convex than in eurinus. Apical joint of the 

 antennas strongly thickened hardly as long as the two preceding united. 

 Pronotum a little narrower anteriorly than in eurinus, the latero-posterior 

 margins broadly depressed and a little reflexed. Rostrum attaining the 

 intermediate coxae. Posterior femora longer and stouter than in eurinus 

 with from three to five long teeth and several smaller ones near the apex. 

 Posterior coxae placed farther apart than in eurinus. Claspers of the 

 male approximate, thick, spindle-shaped, their divergent apices some- 

 what flattened and obtusely pointed. 



Color testaceous grey. Head paler beneath ; the gula, a broad vitta 

 on each side beneath the antennae, and a still broader dorsal vitta black- 

 ish, the latter narrowed and intensified on the base of the head and 

 bisected by a median longitudinal pale line. Antennae pale brownish, 

 apical joint a little darker, the outside of the basal joint with a dark line ; 

 all but the apical joint black-setose. Pronotum with a broad blackish 

 median ray which becomes evanescent posteriorly and is bisected by a 

 conspicuous whitish median line ; pale areas with scattering fuscous 

 punctures. In some examples there is a faint blackish submarginal ray 

 anteriorly. Scutellum a little dusky on the sides and base and with a 

 pale median line continuing the white calloused and slender apex. Elytra 

 punctured with pale brown, especially toward their inner margin and apex, 

 their extreme tip and the inner field blackish ; nervures pale ; apical 

 margin narrowly white and calloused. Membrane brownish pellucid with 

 the nervures but little branched. Beneath paler, sternum and a double 

 lateral vitta on the pleural pieces fuscous, venter dusky on the base and 

 sides, separated by a lateral pale vitta, edge of the connexivum and pos-
