Vol. VIII] VAN DUZEE—NEW SPECIES HEMIPTERA 277 



basal spot exteriorly. Antennae black with the incisures very slenderly 

 pale. Rostrum pale with its median line and apex black. 



Described from six male and twelve female examples taken 

 as follows: San Diego, Calif., April, June, October and De- 

 cember, taken by myself; Los Angeles, Calif., April, M. C. 

 Van Duzee; San Jacinto Mountains, 5000 ft., June, and Kemlo, 

 Calif., June, Fordyce Grinnell; Cisco, Calif., July, C. von 

 Geldern; Sobra Vista, Sonoma County, Calif,, April, and south 

 Sonoma County, Calif., June, J. A. Kusche; Martinez, Contra 

 Costa County, Calif., J. C. Grundell; Santa Cruz Mountains, 

 Chas. Fuchs ; western San Joaquin County, Calif. ; and Pres- 

 ton, Ariz., J. A, Kusche. I have heretofore determined this 

 species as 4-pustulafa and it seems to represent that species west 

 of the Rocky Mountains. 



Holotype (No. 391), male, from San Diego, in collection 

 of the California Academy of Sciences; allotype, female, from 

 San Diego in collection of the author; paratypes in both col- 

 lections. 



7. Harmostes angustatus, new species 



Allied to fraterculus but with the antennae longer with longer 

 basal segment, the bucculse lower and the colors paler. Length 

 7 to 8 mm. 



Head as in the allied species, the clypeus broader and less elevated than 

 in reflexulus or fraterculus ; bucculse lower than in fraterculus, scarcely 

 surpassing anterior line of eyes, becoming almost evanescent posteriorly. 

 Rostrum long, attaining base of second ventral segment; first segment 

 reaching to within its own width of the base of the head. Antennae long, 

 slender; first segment clavate, surpassing the clypeus by one fourth its 

 length ; second as long as the head and equal to third, these segments un- 

 usually slender. Pronotum a little shorter than the head ; sides irregularly 

 arcuated, strongly carinated but not expanded or reflexed except for a 

 short space at anterior angle, which is rounded with the usual prominent 

 tooth ; hind edge almost straight, disk with a distinct median carina which 

 hardly attains the anterior margin. Scutellum distinctly tricarinate, its 

 apex deeply impressed and upturned. Elytra parallel, the costa rectilinear 

 from near its base ; median areole of corium hyaline, the inner partly so. 

 Venter deeply sulcate to fifth segment. Male claspers unusually slender, 

 viewed from the side oblique at apex and much produced dorsally, median 

 process acute or subacute. 



Color pale testaceous-brown or tinged with green or yellow, more or 

 less marked with fuscous, this color forming four obscure spots on hind 

 margin of pronotum and clouding apical half of clavus and apex of corium ; 

 the nervures dotted with fuscous. Membrane whitish hyaline, obscurely 

 dotted at times. Tergum deep black with a pale median vitta from base 

 of the fourth segment, expanded posteriorly ; apical segment with two black 

 vittae in male. Head, pronotum, scutellum, coriaceous portions of elytra, 

 legs and often lower surface of body coarsely punctured with brown or 

 rufous. A few individuals show the rosy tints on the clavus often found in 

 the allied species.
