Psyche [August 



Fore femora lightly incrassate, armed or unarmed. 



Very small species. 

 G. Scarcely shining. Form short and broad. Prono- 

 tum not strongly, transversely constricted to form 

 two lobes; anterior disk impunctate; lateral edge very 

 narrowly carinate. Basal segment of rostrum (in 

 U. S. species) shorter than first segment of antenna. 



Antillocoris Kirk. 

 GG. Somewhat shining. Pronotum rather strongly trans- 

 versely constricted; the anterior lobe impunctate; the 

 lateral edge linearly impressed within the lateral 

 margin of the propleura. Basal segment of rostrum 

 subequal to the basal segment of antenna. Inner api- 

 cal margin of corium sinuate. (" Salacia" delineata

Tribe Beosini. 



\.. Lateral margin of the pronotum linearly and evenly expanded, 

 not reflexed; expansion not widened between the two lobes 

 which are not distinctly differentiated by a transverse con- 

 striction; pronotum transverse without a depressed collar. 

 Head about as wide across the eyes as the diameter of anterior 

 sub margin of pronotum. Antenniferous tubercles, seen from 

 the side, strongly oblique, almost perpendicular. Scutellum 

 not carinate. Antennae not incrassate; basal segment short, 

 apical third extended beyond apex of head. 

 B. Dorsal parts not entirely black, either the lateral explanate 

 margin of the pronotum, or commonly the posterior lobe of 

 the pronotum pale, punctate with black, or the posterior 

 margin of the pronotum conspicuously or the corium more or 

 less pale. Species commonly dull not shining. Anterior 

 margin of the pronotum nearly straight. 

 C. Explanate lateral margin of pronotum most commonly 

 pale, neither punctate nor furnished with setae. Scutellum 

 rarely bivittate with pale. Antennae sparsely pilose or 

 almost nude. First segment of posterior tarsus distinctly 

 longer but not twice as long as second and third segments 

 together.
