Phytocoris tuberculatus new species. 



(^. Length 6.5 mm., width 2.1 mm. Very similar to fu- 

 matus, especially in the white coloration on lower half of head ; 

 first antennal segment (length 1.42 mm.), equal to the distance 

 from base of pronotum to a line drawn through the middle of 

 eyes, and in this respect is identical with fumatus; distin- 

 guished by having all the femora black, posterior pair with an 

 oblique pale band near apex and adjacent to this a few small 

 pale freckles as in corticevivens. Genital claspers, fiagellum, 

 a long tubercle above base of left clasper and a shorter one 

 above the right clasper, distinctive of the species (pi. i, fig. y). 



$. Very similar to the male but slightly more robust, fre- 

 quently lighter colored. 



Holotype: J' July 5, Four Mile, New York (H. H. Knight) ; 

 author's collection. Allotype: June 4, Black Mts., N. C. (Beu- 

 tenmuller) ; Cornell University collection. Faratypes: J* July 

 5, Four Mile, N. Y. (H. H. Knight). (^ June, Pine Island, N. Y. 

 (Wm. T. Davis). ? July 19, Ann Arbor, Mich., at light (R. F. 

 Hussey). 



The writer would have been inclined to identify this species as 

 subnitidulus but for the fact that the type specimen in the U. S. 

 National Museum is certainly identical with the type of fumatus 

 and in the original description no mention is made of the distinct 

 pale band near the distal end of the posterior femora. 



Phytocoris sulcatus new species. 



J*. Length 6 mm., width 1.8 mm. Very similar in form to 

 fumatus but smaller ; pronotum more distinctly sulcate at sides 

 and immediately behind the calli; pale annulations more dis- 

 tinct at base and middle of segment II ; dorsum distinctly paler, 

 exterior half of clavus and inner apical angles of corium black- 

 ish ; femora broadly pale at base, irrorate with large pale spots 

 on the apical half. Genital claspers, fiagellum, a large thick 

 tubercle above the base of the left clasper, distinctive of the 

 vSpecies (pi. i, fig. 15). 



$. Very similar to. the male in coloration, more robust, the 

 sides of the hemelytra distinctly rounded.
