16 TRANS. S. D. Society NATURAL HISTORY 
Elytra almost parallel, a little widened apically. Hind femora just 
about attaining the apex of the membrane. Wall of the sinsitral 
notch of the male genital segment vertical and produced above in 
a prominent tooth directed backward thus giving the notch an 
almost circular outline. 
Color pale straw yellow more or less obscured in places. 
Head marked with two spots on the base of the vertex between 
the eyes and two on either side beneath pale sanguineous. Prono- 
tum with the collum and some marks behind it pale sanguineous, 
the hind submargin with a line of black points, more or less con- 
fluent, which probably carry black hairs when freshly excluded. 
Secutellum clouded with fulvous on the disk on either side. Elytra 
including the cuneus quite uniformly inscribed with sanguineous 
with some darker flecks along the costa and a conspicuous black 
point at the inner angle of the cuneus. Membrane fuscous, uni- 
formly irrorated with pale and with two larger pale spots beyond 
the tip of the cuneus, the nervures mostly sanguineous. Sternum 
smooth and blackish between the anterior and intermediate coxe ; 
hind femora with sanguineous irrorations on the apical two-thirds 
which become darker and segregated into about three incomplete 
transverse vittee beneath; hairs on the hind femora and tibiz long 
and black. Abdomen dusky in places, especially on the venter and 
base of the genital segment. 
Described from five males and one female, taken near Alpine 
Heights, June 8th, 1913, and Mussey’s, April 18th, 1918. Also 
taken at Alpine in June, 1914. This species bears the same rela- 
tion to puella that cunealis does to infuscata. 
123 Phytocoris cunealis n. sp. 
Form and aspect of infuscata but much larger; rufous-brown 
and straw-yellow shaded with sanguineous, base of the cuneus 
clear yellow its apex sanguineous. Length about 7 mm. 
Head viewed from before conspicuously larger than in infus- 
cata, the eyes occupying scarcely more than one half its length; 
pronotum a little longer; elytra proportionately broader and more 
widened apically ; hind femora distinctly longer, a little surpassing 
the apex of the elytra. Basal joint of the antenne linear, not 
thicker at base than at apex as in infuscata and longer in propor- 
tion to the second joint. Wall of the sinistral notch of the male 
genital segment vertical and distinctly thickened, with a prominent 
rounded tubercle above. In infuscata this wall is a little oblique 
and rounded off above without a tubercle, while in puella and its 
variety confluens this wall is cut off obliquely nearly from its base. 
Color when mature a rufous-brown, more or less tinged with 
straw-yellow and becoming sanguineous in places; antenne, ros- 
trum, legs including the acetabule, nearly white. Head and scu- 
tellum pale yellow, the former clouded with sanguineous on the 
sides and more faintly above, the base pale, the latter marked with 
fulvous on either side toward the apex, the basal lobe beneath the 
pronotum dark reddish brown. Antenne becoming infuscated on 
the apical joint; basal joint with long pale hairs. Pronotum some
