picta in Hyoidea and described a new species grisea. An exam- 
ination of fresh material of picta shows that it wants the free 
converging arolia found in Hyoidea and must be placed in sub- 
family Phyline. It is probably safe to assume that amicta is 
congeneric with picta although the type is lost and so far as I 
know the species is now unrecognized.” 
A comparison of the Bolter specimens with the original de- 
scription of Bolteria amicta shows that they agree in every detail, 
and the specimens in the Lugger collection received from Mr. 
Bolter are undoubtedly of the type material. When the writer 
described Dichrooscytus speciosus nigropallidus he did not con- 
sider the genus Bolteria since it had been placed in the subfamily 
Phylinz, therefore the failure to recognize the form. The form 
nigropallidus was described as a variety of Dichrooscytus spe- 
ciosus Van D. since the writer could point out no distinguishing 
structural difference, yet the forms differ so greatly in general 
appearanice. 
Mr. Van Duzee evidently placed speciosus in Dichrooscytus 
since it runs to that genus in his tables, and did not consider it 
sufficiently different to establish a new genus. The writer does 
not believe that the genus Bolteria Uhler (1877) should be thrown 
into synonomy with Dichrooscytus Fieber (1858) for several 
other genera in the Miridz are apparently separated on points of 
less difference than is the case here. The species amicta and 
speciosus.may well be separated from Dichrooscytus by the 
broader and nearly vertical head, depressed vertex, reniform eyes 
approaching pedunculate, and with the width of the head across 
the eyes nearly as great as the width of the pronotum at base. 
The species (Bolteria) picta Uhler (1893) and hirta Van D. 
(1916) are not congeneric with Bolteria amicta Uhler, and lack- 
ing free arolia, must belong in the subfamily Phylinee where Van 
Duzee placed them. Since there is no genus in the Phylinz to 
receive them the writer designates a new genus for their recep- 
tion: PHYLLOPIDEA new genus. Type of the genus: (Bolteria) 
picta Uhler 1893 (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., Il, p. 373). 
Phyllopidea is characterized by the presence of pseudo-arolia 
and genitalia very similar to the general form found in Plagio- 
gnathus; the tip of the penis twists to the left, lying closely within
