and has all the characters of Leptoglossus, though the posterior 
tibia are not in evidence.

Stal (En. Hem. i. p. 171, 1870), by an unaccountable slip 
on his part, placed this species as a synonym of Phthia picta, 
Dru., with which it has nothing in common, This has been 
accepted and followed by other writers—Distant (Biol. Centr.- 
Am.) and Lethierry & Severin (Cat. Gén. Hém. t. ii. p. 52). 
Leptoscelis obscura, Dall., is allied to L. elongator, Fabr., 
and L. guttula, H.-S.
