turation and broader flattened form give this insect much 

 the aspect of a Carpocoris, but it has the longer osteolar 

 canal of Trichopepla. Stal says this genus has the canal 

 short and abrupt but this is true only when compared with 

 such genera as Thyanta. He fails to compare his genus 

 with Carpocoris with which it is closely allied.

3. Tollius quadratus, new species 



Allied to setosus but with the antennae more slender, the 

 hairs clothing the body longer, the colors darker and more 

 uniform, and the male claspers very differently formed. 

 Length 9 mm. 



Head obviously shorter and less produced before the eyes than in setosus. 

 Antennae more slender throughout with the first segment less incrassate than 

 in the allied form and the fourth segment proportionately longer. Long 

 hairs on the face arranged in three longitudinal bands as in the two allied 

 species. Pronotum shorter than in setosus, its basal width one-fifth greater 

 than the median length. Rostrum more slender, the basal segment nearly 

 attaining base of gula (distinctly shorter in setosus), its apex reaching to the 

 intermediate coxae. Male claspers nearly quadrate, perhaps a little longer 

 than broad, their inner margin converging somewhat apically and right- 

 angled at apex, and armed with an almost terete projection at their outer 

 angle which is nearly as long as the apical width of the clasper and a little 

 oblique. 



Color, grayish-brown, sparsely mottled with fuscous; vertex, neck and 

 callosities inf uscated ; median line and sides of the face and two divergent 

 vittae on the neck dull castaneous; scutellum blackish with the basal angles 

 and apex pale; membrane faintly mottled; beneath and legs dark castaneous 

 varied with paler; tibiae and tarsi, except at apex, pale; antennae pale with 

 first and fourth segments piceous beneath. Whole body evenly clothed with 

 long stiff black hairs and minute pale pubescence. 



Described from one male taken by R.Mead at Monmouth, 

 Fresno Co., California, late in August, 1915, and kindly 

 sent to me for study by Dr. H. M. Parshley. The very 

 characteristic male claspers with the shorter head and more 

 slender antennae makes the recognition of the male of this 

 species a simple matter.
