Female: Length 3.5mm., width 1.53mm. Head: Width 

 1.05 mm., vertex .55 mm., from basal margin to tip of tylus 

 .84 mm. ; dark brownish to piceous, more brownish on juga and 

 lora, poHshed, gula beset with erect bristles as in furvus. Ros- 

 trum, length 2 mm., reaching to middle of intermediate coxae. 



Antennae: Segment i, length .25mm., brownish; ii, .1 mm., 

 greatest thickness .096 mm., more slender on basal one-third, black, 

 basal one-fourth brownish, minutely pubescent; iii, .44mm., 

 slender, fuscous, basal one-third pale ; iv, .38 mm., fuscous, slightly 

 paler at base. 



Pronotum: Length .77 mm., v/idth at base 1.25 mm.; dark 

 brownish black, shining. Scutellum almost identical with furvus 

 in structure, a silvery bar in each basal angle, with a transverse one 

 on the flattened apical one-third. Sternum brownish black to 

 piceous, polished ; ostiolar peritreme pale to brownish ; episternum 

 brown, darker at basal angle bordering the silvery scale-like spot. 



Hemelytra: Embolar margins nearly parallel on basal half, 

 equal in width to base of pronotum, apical half with margin 

 flaring to widest (1.53mm.) just before cuneal fracture; from 

 anterior to posterior silvery line, cinnamon fulvous in color as in 

 amoenus, shaded with fuscous on anterior side bordering anterior 

 silvery line, also a dusky spot at base of clavus, minutely golden 

 pubescent ; posterior silvery band broken into three spots, silvery 

 bar on clavus directed somewhat obliquely distad ; piceous and 

 polished behind posterior silvery band, the cuneus included. 

 Cuneus and membrane nearly as in furvus, the blackish opaque 

 cloud larger and involving nearly all of larger areole. 



Legs : Dark brownish black, tibiae uniformly colored as the 

 femora, apical half of hind coxae, and the trochanters, white ; two 

 basal segments of tarsi, tips of femora, spot on front of anterior 

 coxae, and middle trochanters, pale. 



Venter: Similar to furvus, apparently the sides never with 

 silvery, scale-like pubescence. 



Holotype: Female, 12 July, 1909, Washington, D. C. (O. Heidemann) ; 

 Cornell Univ. collection, 



Pilophorus vanduzeei Knight, new species, 



Male: Length 5 mm., width 1.66 mm. Head : Width 1.25 mm., 

 vertex .66 mm., from tip of tylus to basal margin of head 

 i.iimm, ; sharp basal margin of vertex beset with six black 

 bristles, front sparsely clothed with silvery, deciduous, scale-like 

 pubescent hairs, and interspersed with erect bristles. Rostrum, 

 length 2.27 mm,, scarcely attaining hind margins of middle coxae. 



Antennae: Segment i, length .44mm., thickness .11 mm.; ii, 

 2.22 mm., gradually thickened from base toward apex (.15 mm. 

 thick), dark brownish black, clothed with short black pubescence; 

 iii, .80 mm., thickness .08 mm., uniformly black ; iv, .y2 mm., pale, 

 infuscated apically.
