Vol. XI] VAN DUZEE—NEW HEM1PTEROUS INSECTS \2\ 



12. Neoborus pacificus, new species 



Allied to canadensis; uniformly whitish testaceous, with a 

 black point on either pronotal callosity. Length 5 mm. 



Male: Head vertical, produced below the eye for a space nearly equal to 

 length of eye ; clypeus strongly incurved below ; cheeks tumid ; vertex coarsely 

 punctured with a spot against the inner angle of either eye and a concentric 

 mark either side of middle line of vertex, anteriorly smooth; basal carina 

 very slender; pronotum regularly, coarsely punctured, more convex than in 

 canadensis; callosities small, transverse; sides ecarinate; collum and slender 

 hind edge calloused and whitish; scutellum sparsely punctate, the edges smooth; 

 elytra closely uniformly punctured ; rostrum attaining posterior coxae. An- 

 tennae short; segment I a little longer than width of vertex between eyes; II 

 about three times length of I; III nearly as long as I ; IV a little shorter. 

 Sinistral clasper shaped as in allied species but with the incurved apex 

 longer and more slender and the basal tooth more prominent. 



Color, uniformly testaceous, a little tinged with yellow, the punctures on 

 head and pronotum more fulvous, the pale areas on vertex, collum, hind 

 margin of pronotum and sides of scutellum whitish; callosities with round 

 black dot at proximal end ; antennas slightly infuscated beyond the basal 

 segment; tip of tarsi and a point on intermediate and posterior knees black; 

 beneath tinged with fulvous with coxae and disk of venter whitish; mem- 

 brane faintly enfumed with pale lines along veins and spot on exterior 

 margin, the apex of areole with short brown line. 



Female: Similar to male, without brown line at apex of areole. 



Described from one male and two female examples taken 

 at Corvallis, Oregon, July 31, 1900. 



Holotype, male, No. 767, and allotype, female, No. 768, 

 Mus. Calif. Acad. Sci. 



Type locality, Corvallis, Oregon. 



13. Neoborus viscicolus, new species 



Allied to pacificus, but more tinged with fulvous and 

 more uniformly punctured, without the smooth areas on the 

 vertex found in that species. Length Z l /z to 4 J/2 mm. 



Front and clypeus convex, more prominent than in pacificus, with deep 

 impression at base of clypeus; vertex closely punctate with four flattish areas 

 forming an arc anteriorly; front closely punctate with four smoother areas 

 either side; cheeks as in canadensis, less prominent than in pacificus. Pro- 

 notum unusually convex, coarsely closely punctate, more finely about callosities, 

 the latter prominent and distant but without indication of a longitudinal 

 smooth line; scutellum tumidly convex and with the elytra coarsely and closely 

 punctate; antennae as in pacificus, but with segment II more slender; rostrum 

 reaching hind margin of metasternum. 



Color, a clearer and more fulvo-testaceous than in canadensis, almost 

 uniform, a little paler beneath and somewhat darker on the head; proximal 

 end of callosities in one example with a piceous point as in canadensis; 

 membrane faintly, almost uniformly fuliginous.
