Described from five males and three females in my collection 

 taken in the Huachuca IVIountains, Arizona, and one 9 speci- 

 men in the collection of the United States National Museum 

 from Oracle, Ariz., which bears the label Dendrocoris frntici- 

 cola Bergr. In some specimens the punctures on the sides of 

 the head, pronotum, corium and venter are blackish. 



Dendrocoris arizonensis new species. 



Very closely related to D. frutictcola Bergr. It will average a little 

 larger and proportionately broader. Ground color pale stramineous 

 closely punctured with castaneous. Humeri are equally prominent as 

 in fruticicola but usually more rounded. The connexivum is pale
