HEMIPTERA. VAN DUZEE. 15 
bolium, cuneus and apex of the corium beyond the tip of the clavus 
polished, the rest of the corium and the clavus opake; clavus, em- 
bolium and opake portion of the corium chocolate or rufus-brown ; 
cuneus and apex of the corium black. Membrane black with a 
broad transverse white vitta at the apex of the cuneus, interrupted 
in the middle. Beneath black, the disk of the ventral segments 
rastrate; propleura and legs rufous. Osteolar canai distinctly ele- 
vated, the apex a little bent forward. 
Described from two females taken at an altitude of about 5000 
feet in the Cuyamacas in October 1913. Two damaged specimens 
that seem to belong here were taken by Dr. J. C. Bradley at Fel- 
ton, Calif., in September and at Sisson, Calif., in August, 1908. 
This pretty species runs to “11” in Reuter’s key. 
119. Tvriphleps tristicolor White. April to August; not uncom- 
mon. 
120. Scoloposcelis discalis n. sp. 
Closely allied to flavicornis Reut. but shorter and broader with 
the disk of the elytra conspicuously white. Length 214, mm. 
Black. Head and pronotum polished, the posterior disk of the 
latter a little transversely depressed and roughened. Antenne 
testaceous brown, basal joint black, reaching the apex of the head; 
second stout, clavate, as long as the width of the head across the 
eyes; third and fourth very slender, subequal, together hardly 
longer than the second. Rostrum pale, attaining the anterior coxe. 
Seutellum black, polished on the base, transversely depressed be- 
fore the apex. Elytra white, when closed showing the hylaline col- 
ors of the wings beneath; scutellar and commissural margins of 
the clavus, embolium and cuneus black. Membrane hyaline white. 
Beneath and legs black, the tibiz, tarsi and oviduct of the female 
flavo-testaceous. Osteolar canal long, subangularly curved at about 
its middle, its acute apex almost reaching the anterior angles of 
the metapleura. 
Described from 1 female and five males taken from under the 
loose bark of a rotting cottonwood log at Lakeside, October 2, 1913. 
_ This species is near flavicornis but its broader form, shorter second 
joint of the antenne and its smaller size will distinguish it. The 
| inner angle of the cuneus is entirely black in this species. 
Family CAPSIDAE 
121. Phytocoris vau Van D. Taken occasionally on Adenostoma 
from May to July but it does not seem to be common here. 
It is a pretty green insect with black clavus and dark casta- 
neous legs and antenne. 
122. Phytocoris rufoscriptus n. sp 
Form and aspect of puella but much larger ; soiled whitish-yel- 
low, the elytra and hind femora quite uniformly inscribed with 
sanguineous. Length 7 mm. 
Head produced as in cunealis. First joint of the antenne lin- 
ear, not thickened toward the base as in puella, clothed with white 
hairs which are distinctly longer than the thickness of the joint.
