UHLER ON INSECTS, 469 



This is a most variable insect, of which I have received specimens 

 from Florida, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, 

 New Jersey, New York, Minnesota, and Kansas. The largest specimens 

 are found in Florida ; those of Texas are not so large. I collected one 

 specimen near Denver, August 18 ; it was of the small size, and pale in 

 colors. Another specimen from Pueblo is smaller than either from the 

 other localities, and has less of the fuscous marking upon the upper sur- 

 face. In Maryland, it may occasionally be found sitting upon the oak- 

 bushes in late summer and early autumn. 



3. J. jucundus, new sp. 



In form similar to J. irroratus, and like it with the head a little wider 

 than the pronotum, white or yellowish-white, a little reticulated, and 

 twice or thrice broadly clouded with brown across the hemelytra 

 Vertex lunate, hardly angular at the apex, but faintly ridged at that 

 point, traversed by four faint brown clouds, or with a brown transverse 

 line crossing nearly its whole widths a longitudinal line on the middle 

 connecting with this behind a fainter one each side, also running back; 

 the two outer spaces thus formed being occupied each by a brown ob- 

 long dot; the margin brown, and behind it four brown dots, of which 

 the two central are near together, and the outer ones remote and trans- 

 verse; eyes large, fuscous, margined with testaceous; front brown, 

 marked with pale, transverse lines, or fuscous below and pale above; 

 the outer cheeks a little angular exteriorly, broad, infuscated above, or 

 clouded exteriorly and below ; inner cheeks either brownish above or 

 fuscous, excepting only the margins; tylas obliquely narrowing at base, 

 the disk with a large piceous spot; auteunpe long, slender, more or less 

 fuscous beyond the base ; sometimes the basal joint is fnscous above. 

 Pronotum modei-ately long, bluntly lunate, concave behind ; white or 

 yellowish, transversely rugulose, marked nearly all over with brown, 

 more or less confluent freckles, which omit the sides and sometimes the 

 middle line; anterior margin each side convex and slanting down be- 

 hind the eyes; lateral margins very short, curving down and forming a 

 part of the curve of the anterior margin; latero-posterior margin long, 

 oblique, with the inner angle not obtuse and a little rounded; the de- 

 flexed sides fuscous; pleural pieces yellow and orange, and each marked 

 with a more or less large black spot. Scutellum yellowish, chestnut- 

 brown each side, with four spots or lines of dark brown each side in 

 contact with the lateral margin, a fuscous fusiform line on the middle? 

 another transverse, and two round dots near the base; sometimes with 

 a white streak in each basal angle, a larger spot each side and the 

 tip whitish. Coxa^ blackish at base, or they and the femora, excepting 

 the knees, blue-black; anterior and intermediate femora with a black 

 patch and oblique line on the inner face and with a streak of dots, a line, 

 and a long spot on the outer face ; tibite pale testaceous, marked with 

 black dots at the base of the spines; the tip of tarsi piceous. Hem-
