Hebrus balnearis sp. nov. 



Black, basal margin of vertex (laterally curved a little for- 

 ward between ocelli and eyes) and a short linear spot at anterior 

 angle of eyes pale grayish, a transverse apical area to pronotum 

 lead-colored, the basal two-thirds of clavus and three spots to 

 membrane white, one of these spots being placed near the exterior 

 basal angle, one opposite the first near the interior margin, and 

 one (oblong) behind middle in the median line of the body; un- 

 derside of head (including bucculse) and acetabula (excluding 

 a triangular continuation of the black pleural color) pale 

 testaceous; antennae fuscous, the first two joints (except their 

 extreme tip) testaceous; rostrum castaneous; legs pale 

 testaceous, the knees somewhat infuscated, extreme apex of 

 tibiae and of tarsi fuscous; head above and pronotum with 

 scattered, extremely short golden hairs, corium with similarly 

 colored but much longer and much more numerous hairs, on 

 scutellum with short erect black hairs, the leaden apical area 

 of the pronotum and the pale markings of the head and clavus 

 glabrous. Antennae as long as head, pronotum, and scutellum 

 together, the first two joints subglabrous, taken together as long
