line fuscous and the sagitate apex white. Elytra cinereous or brown with a 

 darker, usually irrorate, area along the claval suture and on the radial 

 vein and costa; apical polished area angulate, pale, and invading the base 

 of the cuneus ; margins of the cuneus variegated with black and pale. 

 Membrane about as in plenus ; white, rather closely and evenly irrorate 

 with fuscous but shading darker toward its base ; margin darker, alternated 

 with two white spots beyond tip of cuneus ; nervures brownish, the radial 

 sometimes blackish. Beneath fuscous-brown ; coxae and sometimes disk of 

 venter pale. Legs fuscous, irrorate with whitish and sometimes pale at 

 base; hind femora with an oblique pale subapical vitta and in the female 

 a pale ray from the base to near the middle ; tibiae showing three, more or 

 less distinct, pale bands, one, before the middle of the hind pair, unusually 

 distinct. Antennae fuscous ; basal segment irrorate with pale ; extreme 

 base of second and third segments white, the second without a pale median 

 annulus. 



Described from three male and eleven female examples taken 

 at the following localities: Yosemite, Calif., June 16, 1916; 

 Fallen Leaf Lake, Calif., August 21, 1916, 6300 feet; Tallac, 

 Calif., August 22, 1916. 6000 ft., Soda Springs, Nevada 

 County, Calif., 6800 ft., August 24, 1916; all taken by Mr. 

 Walter M. Giffard; Bright Angel Camp, Ariz., 6900 ft., H. F. 

 Wickham, and Pine Hill in the Cuyamaca Mountains, San 

 Diego County, Calif., Oct. 19, 1913, 4300 ft., taken by myself.

14. Phytocoris hirtus, new species 



Aspect of plenus but readily distinguished from that and 

 other allied forms in having the upper surface clothed with 

 unusually long hairs, especially upon the legs. Length 8^/2 mm. 



Head oblique, produced before the eye for a distance about equal to the 

 greatest length of the eye ; cheeks tumidly convex but somewhat less so than 

 in inops; Vertex convex and swollen along the line of the clypeus much as 

 in inops. Rostrum reaching well on to the third ventral segment. Antennae 

 slender; first segment as long as basal width of pronotum, slightly thick- 

 ened basally; second segment nearly twice the length of first; third and 

 fourth together as long as second; first sparsely clothed with long pale 

 hairs which are at least twice as long as the thickness of the segment. 

 Pronotum long and well narrowed anteriorly as in plenus, the sides a little 

 convex ; hind edge a little emarginate ; collum distinct ; callosities small and 

 inconspicuous. Elytra long with the costa slightly arcuated ; venter reach- 

 ing to tip of cuneus. Upper surface and head clothed with nearly erect 

 brown hairs which are almost as long as the thickness of the hind tibiae 

 and are interspersed with short scale-like deciduous hairs. Legs clothed 

 with soft pale hairs as long as the thickness of the anterior femora.
