Phytocoris conspersipes diversus new sub-species. ' - 



J*. Length 5 mm., width 1.7 mm. Structurally, nearly 

 identical with conspersipes but is more slender; general aspect 

 more nearly that of fulvus, the fulvous coloration more distinct 

 on the inner apical half of the corium and on cuneus; head, 

 pronotum, and ventral parts greenish, pronotum basally, sides 

 of tylus, upper margins of jugse and lorse, base of head, indis- 

 tinct transverse striae on front, sternum and sides of venter, 

 tinged with reddish brown ; femora except basally and tibise, 

 fusco-brownish, irrorate with pale, spots much enlarged on 

 upper side of posterior femora. Head: width .97 mm., vertex 

 .37 mm. Antennce: I, length .71 mm., greenish, darkened with 

 fusco-brownish, irrorate with paler on inner side, beset with 9 

 or 10 dark bristles ; II, 2.05 mm., infuscated, paler on basal 

 half; III, 1.05 mm., blackish; IV, .85 mm., blackish. Length 

 of segment II slightly greater than twice the width of head ; 

 in conspersipes the length of segment II is slightly less than 

 twice the width of head. Genital claspers and flagellum' nearly 

 identical with those of conspersipes (pi. i, fig. 20) ; such would 

 seem to indicate a subspecific relationship. 



5. Very similar to the male in size and coloration.

Phytocoris quercicola new species. 



c^. Length 4.7 mm., width 1.7 mm. Suggestive of puella 

 but the heavy infuscation on pronotum and legs distinguish 

 this form at once. Head: width .91 mm., vertex .3 mm., basal 

 half of lorffi, spot each side of tylus, transversely across the 

 front and four marks on vertex, red, front with prominent 

 pale hairs; rostrum (length 2.2 mm.) attaining base of genital 

 segment, pale, infuscated at apex. Antennce: I, length .97 

 m'm., pale, three irregular marks on upper side and broadly 

 banded at apex with fusco-brownish or reddish, beset with 6
