Vol. IX] VAN DUZEE— NEW HEMIPTEROUS INSECTS 355 



Dextral male clasper slender, thickened at base and obtusely bifid at 

 apex; sinistral broad, a little arcuated above, with its base prominently 

 convex and polished, not produced in a tooth. In nitens the base of the 

 sinistral clasper is produced in an acute recurved tooth nearly one third 

 the length of the ventral portion, while in grandis this tooth is nearly as 

 long as the ventral member, erect, a little curved and obtuse at tip. 



Described from two pairs taken by me at Portland, Me., 

 July 4, 1909, a male from Hamburg, N. Y., taken July 1, 1911, 

 one pair taken at Quinze Lake, P. Q., August 18, 1907, and one 

 male and two females taken at Smith's Cove and Bear River, 

 Nova Scotia, and kindly sent to me for study by Mr. W. H. 

 Brittain, and a series from Ithaca and Batavia, N. Y., received 

 from Mr. H. H. Knight. 



This species with grandis and nitens form a difficult group 

 but distinguishable by the form of the male claspers. The color 

 in nitens is paler with the punctures more distinct, the antennae 

 pale or slightly infuscated at apex and the scutellum more 

 convex and paler and the membrane hyaline. In borealis the 

 antennas are darker with the basal two segments thicker and 

 piceous, the basal longer, the scutellum flatter with a piceous 

 vitta, the margins and median line hardly paler and the mem- 

 brane largely fuscous. In grandis the antennae and general 

 color is even darker than in borealis with the scutellum piceous 

 but narrowly edged and lined with pale and the membrane 

 fuscous at apex.

28. Camptobrochys manitou, new species 



Form of fenestratus, short, ovate, convex, the cuneus and 

 membrane strongly deflexed ; whitish testaceous, polished, a 

 little tinged with yellowish on the head, coarsely fusco-punc- 

 tate and varied with fuscous; callosities and lateral areas of 

 scutellum black, polished ; base of cuneus broadly pale. Length 

 4^ to 5 mm. 



Head as in nitens, as wide as anterior margin of pronotum, hardly pol- 

 ished ; clypeus less prominent than in fenestratus and its allies. Pronotum 

 broader anteriorly than in fenestratus, the anterior margin a little more 

 than one half the basal width and slightly greater than the median length ; 

 sides straight, slenderly carinate but not at all explanate, hind edge ob-
