 nearly black 8 



8. Color pale testaceous, hemelytra translucent and with fuscous 



markings very faint or nearly lacking in female; median line of

Hemelytra with more than slender base of corium and embolium 

 pale; length usually less than 6mm. (remainder of key for

10. Female pronotum with lateral margins black, disk broadly pale or 



fulvous, sometimes with only median line pale 11 



Female pronotum with lateral margins pale or greenish, disk usually 



blackish and frequently with median line pale 15 



11. Pronotal disk with fulvous, sometimes the hemelytra also fulvous 12 

 Pronotal disk with pale or greenish 13 



12. Hemelytra black, a broad pale stripe extending full length of 



corium and connecting with pale cuneus ; legs fulvous, apical half 



of hind femora blackish (p. 516) knighti 



Hemelytra chiefly fulvous or salmon colored; blackish each side

13. Pronotal disk broadly pale, scutellum black; basal half of corium 



and embolium, and slenderly bordering base of cuneus, pale; 

 transversely blackish across apical half of hemelytra but leaving 

 costal margin slenderly pale ; membrane and apical half of cuneus 



uniformly dark fuscous (p. 516) cruciatus 



Pronotal disk and hemelytra not so broadly pale 14 



14. Embolium and outer margin of corium pale greenish, translucent; 



median line of scutellum pale (p. 5 22 ) serus 



Corium blackish at outer margin except at base; scutellum black 



(p. 521) alni n. sp.
