Vol. XI] VAN DUZEE—NEW HEMIPTEROVS INSECTS J25 



Apex of corium and the clavus similarly colored. 1 



Apex of corium deep black, clavus white. foxi, new species. 



1. Apex of corium and clavus dark red, narrowly edged with black, 



base of corium silvery white. mimetica Osb. 



Apex of corium and clavus olive brown. 2 



2. Pale portions of corium and cuneus yellowish, elytra scarcely 



widened apically, apical band of corium oblique anteri- 

 orly, uhleri, new species 

 Pale portions of corium and cuneus white, elytra distinctly widened 

 apically, apical band of corium nearly transverse anteri- 

 orily. insignis Uhler. 



Coquillettia balli Parshley is still unknown to me but pro- 

 bably is allied to amcenus Uhler, a species I have never been 

 able to recognize. 



17. Lopidea taurina, new species 



Aspect of heidemanni, but with a thicker head; bright 

 sanguineous, darker along middle of elytra and on scutellum. 

 Length 6 mm. 



Surface moderately polished, sparsely clothed with very minute fuscous 

 hairs; elytra scarcely wider apically; front unusually convex; base of vertex 

 normally depressed. Antennae long; segment I equal to width of vertex; II 

 one-half longer than width of pronotum. Sides of pronotum feebly sinuated, 

 the carinate edge extended entirely around the humeri to basal angle of 

 scutellum; cuneus surpassing abdomen by more than half its length. Sinis- 

 tral male clasper slender, the incurved apex forked; dextral clasper subterete 

 for a distance of twice its width, then broadly bifurcate, the branches lying 

 at a right angle with the stem and parallel with the apex of the genital 

 segment, terete, acute at apex, and together forming three- fourths of a circle; 

 dorsal spine of the pygofer abruptly incurved and very acute. 



Color, bright sanguineous, becoming darker on head which has the usual 

 black marks; callosities, antennae, rostrum and legs black, pronotum posteriorly, 

 scutellum and disk of the elytra more or less piceous or almost black; be- 

 neath largely infuscated or black, the propleura bright sanguineous; mem- 

 brane black . 



Described from five males and six females taken by me at 

 Colestin, Jackson Co., Oregon, August 1, 1918. In this 

 very distinct species the dextral male clasper has much the 

 shape found in robinla but the stem is slender and the two 

 curved horns are subequal. 



Holotype, male, No. 773, and allotype, female No. 774, 

 Mus. Calif. Acad. Sci.; paratypes also in Academy's col- 

 lection. 



Type locality, Colestin, Jackson County, Oregon.
