rest of the cuneus clear rufous with two black points on the inner 
edge. Membrane infuscated, variously irrorated with pale or at 
times mostly hyaline, the nervures red. Beneath and legs rufous, 14 
paler on the coxal region and base of the femora; tibia with three 
pale annuli; the posterior pair pale with two broad fuscous bands; 
femora, especially the posterior, irrorate with dark rufous, with 
a few scattering dark bristles. The whole upper surface is clothed 
in places with deciduous white scale-like hairs when fresh. 
Described from numerous examples beaten from pine trees 4 
at Pine Hills in the Cuyamaca Mts. at an altitude of 4200 feet, 
Oct. 19th, 1918. This species has much the pattern of marking 
found in cunealis but the medium pale elytral band is much less 
oblique than in that species. 
126. Phytocoris reuteri n. sp. 
Form and aspect or roseus Uhler nearly, but of a testaceous- 
yellow color; slender, the elytra long and parallel marked with 
fuscous. Length 6-7 mm. 
Head long, almost vertical; tylus prominent, convex; vertex 
obsoletely striate, as wide as the eyes in the male, wider in the 
female. Pronotum long, strongly narrowed anteriorly. LElytra 
much longer than the abdomen in both sexes, linear in the male, 
wider and a little flaring in the female. Rostrum attaining the 
fourth abdominal segment. Antennz long and slender, formed as 
in roseus; basal joint nearly linear, as long as the head and pro- 
notum together ; second about one third longer than the first; third 
and fourth together about equal to the second. Apex of the genital 
segment of the male acutely triangular; dextral notch very shal- 
low, sinistral deep and broadly and obtusely triangular. 
Color pale straw-yellow tinged with green on the pronotum 
and with testaceous on the elytra. Head with two fuscous spots 
behind the eyes and a faint one on the lore sometimes wanting, 
those behind the eye extended a little way on the sides of the 
pronotum; hind edge of the pronotum narrowly white, on the 
middle bounded betore by a double black arc which may become 
continuous or broken into dots. Scutellum black on the basal mid- 
dle and with a black mark on the disk either side, which may be 
wanting; costal edge of the corium alternated with fuscous and 
white, a blackish streak along the center of the clavus and two 
on the corium following the principal veins, those of the corium 
sometimes widened into a fuscous or black cloud covering the inner 
apical angle; apical margin of the corium and cuneus alternated 
with black and white and there is a black point at the tip of the ihe 
corium; cuneus sometimes tinged with pink. Membrane 
fuscous becoming black on the apical half, basally more or less 
irrorate with white, the outer border marked with two conspicu- 
ous white spots beyond the point of the cuneus, nervures pale, - 
sometimes pink; in some individuals the membrane is largely whit- 
ish hyaline. Antenne blackish; first joint fuscous dotted with 
white; second with a narrow white annulus at base and a broader 
one on the middle which is sometimes obscure; third joint very
