Vol. VIII] VAN DU ZEE— NEW SPECIES HEMIPTERA 275 



Sides of pronotum carinate, sometimes quite broadly reflexed 1 



Sides of pronotum calloused, ecarinate, continuing the slope of the disk 4 



1. Head longer than width across the eyes, apex narrower and more 



produced; sides approaching before the ante-ocular sinus; rostrum 



at least attaining apex of hind coxae 2 



-. Head not longer than width across the eyes, rounded at apex with 

 the sides parallel for a space before the ante-ocular sinus ; rostrum 

 not surpassing the base of the hind coxae 3 



2. Head distinctly longer than width across the eyes; apex narrow, 



parabolic, but little arcuated; second antennal segment obviously 

 longer than third; membrane infuscated; posterior disk of pro- 

 notum coarsely irregularly punctured, miale genital segment tri- 

 sinuately excavated ; calloused lines on base of scutellurn more or 



less broken and obscured semivittata Say. 



-. Head scarcely longer than width across the eyes; apex broadly 

 rounded; second and third antennal segments subequal; membrane 

 whitish hyaline; posterior disk of pronotum closely, finely punc- 

 tured ; male genital segment deeply, roundedly excavated ; three 

 calloused lines on base of scutellum very distinct and regular.... 

 .vartdykei, new species 



3. Connexivum black, its margin quite broadly pale atricornis Stal. 



-. Connexivum alternated with black at incisures 



calif ornica, new species 



4. Margin of connexivum. broadly pale grossa, new species 



-. Margin of connexivum alternated aurora, new species 



5. Carpocoris sulcatus, new species 



Allied to remotus but differing in the longer head and mem- 

 brane, narrower scutellum and more maculated surface. 

 Length 9 to 10 mm. 



Head a little longer than width across the eyes, in remotus a little 

 shorter; cheeks narrower, making the head look still longer. Sides of 

 pronotum a little sinuated, in remotus feebly arcuated. Scutellum more 

 narrowed beyond the frenulum with its apex more angulate, the base cal- 

 loused and bevelled, leaving a deep groove behind the pronotal margin. 

 Membrane surpassing abdomen for nearly one half its length beyond tip 

 of corium. Rostrum attaining apex of hind coxae, the basal segrnent 

 scarcely reaching the apex of the bucculae. Second antennal segment little 

 if any longer than third. Genital segment of male deeply trisinuate, the 

 median lobe less deeply cleft than in remotus; claspers broad, truncate, 

 with their ventral angle produced exteriorly; viewed from below these 

 claspers are curved outward, oblique at tip, with the outer angle subacute. 



Color pale yellowish testaceous with four black ray-like vittae, more or less 

 distinct, on head and anterior field of pronotum. Base of scutellum with 

 a blackish cloud either side of a pale median vitta sometimes confined to 

 the calloused depressed base. Punctures of upper surface sometimes dark- 

 ened in places. Connexivum maculated in mature examples. Antennae 

 black, with basal segment and extreme base of second pale. Beneath 

 and legs pale, immaculate, apex of tibiae and tarsi somewhat infuscated. 



Described from one male taken at Alpine, San Diego County, 

 Calif., October 3, 1913, on grass under oak trees; one male 

 taken by F. W. Nunenmacher in Mariposa County, Calif., 

 June 15, 1914; one female taken by Dr. F. C. Clark, in Bear
