HEMIPTERA. VAN DUZEE. Pall 
two transverse bands, one at apex and the other beyond the tip of 
the scutellum; the inner margin of the clavus is often brown and 
the pale areas are dotted with brown; the whole surface varied 
with groups of white hairs. Cuneus pale with the inner angle 
fuscous and the extreme tip castaneous-brown. Membrane black- 
ish with the base, a marginal spot at the apex of the cuneus and a 
fainter one on the disk whitish. Beneath the sternum and meso- 
and meta-pleura are marked with black and there are about three 
black dots on the propleura. Legs pale, normally with two or three 
fuscous bands. Length 4 mm. 
Described from numerous examples taken on elderberry trees 
growing along the streams and gullies throughout the county. 
This tree or shrub has a powerful and exceedingly disagreeable 
and suffocating odor which is not alluded to in any botanical work 
on this region to which I have access. 
189. Camptobrochis fulvescens Reut. Alpine, two examples taken 
in June. This seems to be our only representative of the 
subgenus Huarmosus in which the body is more flattened 
above and the embolium is continued distinct as far as the 
cuneus. 
140. Camptobrochis schwarzi Uhler. This species is abundant on 
the chaparral from May to July and is subject to great va- 
riation in color. Some are nearly as pale as fulvescens 
while others are almost entirely black above, with the head, 
collum and cuneus only rufous; beneath the body and legs 
are mostly rufous; antennez pale rufous with the thickened 
apex of the second joint black. In this species the sides of 
the pronotum are straight or almost sinuated, nearly to the 
apex and are punctured close to the edge without the smooth 
carina found in cerachates and fulgidus; from the latter it 
also differs by the colored antenne and legs, black scutellum 
and rufous cuneus. 
141. Camptobrochis fulgidus n. sp. 
Deep shining black; head rufo-testaceous, scutellum sanguin- 
eous. Length 5 mm. 
Form of schwarzi; broad oval, convex. Head as in the allied 
Species, polished, rufo-testaceous; tip of the clypeus and a line be- 
low the antennz dusky. Antenne entirely black. Rostrum black- 
ish. Pronotum unusually convex and with the elytra polished and 
coarsely punctured; callosities prominent, polished, confluent; 
Sides distinctly regularly arcuated, the extreme edge carinate and 
Impunctate. Scutellum polished, impunctate, sanguineous or some- 
times dusky on the extreme base, strongly convex as in schwarzi. 
Membrane black, minutely corrugated but smooth in the areoles. 
Beneath the legs black. 
Described from numerous examples taken about San Diego and 
as far east as Alpine, March to June. I also have one specimen 
taken by Mr. Fordyce Grinnell at Pasadena and I took another at 
Fort Collins, Colo., in July, 1900. This species has much the color 
of sayi but pertains to a different section of the genus distin-
