Acta Soc. Sci. Fenn., xxxvi, No. 2, 32, 1909. 



Male: Length 5.1 mm., width 1.6 mm. Head: Width .90 mm., 

 vertex .42 mm. ; testaceous to brownish black, tylus white, the 

 middle third blackish. Antennae: Segment i, length 1.28mm., 

 brownish black, inner surface marked with four or five pale spots ; 

 ii, 2.56 mm., black, with a narrow pale annulus somewhat removed 

 from base and a second broader band at slightly beyond middle; 

 hi, 1.66 mm., fusco-brownish, pale at base; iv, 1.44mm., fuscous. 

 Pronotum: Length .79 mm., width at base 1.43 mm., testaceous to 

 brownish, becoming black bordering the sinuately pale basal 

 margin ; basal submargin with two callus spots each side of middle ; 

 propleura blackish, a pale ray across top of coxal cleft. Scutellum 

 testaceous to fuscous, with a slender nearly obsolete pale median 

 line. 



Hemelytra: Testaceous to fuscous, clothed with yellowish, 

 black, and white pubescence ; embolium with a callous black spot 

 at apex, also blackish at middle but broken by pale marks ; corium 

 darker bordering clavus and on spot at middle along outer margin ; 

 cuneus reddish to blackish along outer margin and apex, with a 

 black tuft of hairs at middle of inner margin and a second one 

 near inner basal angle. Membrane rather densely conspurcate 

 with fuscous, more uniformly fuscous apically and at base, some- 

 what pale near apex of cuneus but invaded by fuscous spots, veins 

 fuscous. 



Legs : Coxae white, f usco-reddish laterally at base ; femora 

 black, pale at base, hind pair spotted with pale on ventral aspect, 

 a rather distinct subapical pale band on dorsal aspect, front pair 

 largely pale, with a longitudinal blackish bar on posterior aspect 

 and a shorter but similar bar on apical half of anterior face ; front 

 tibiae reddish to black, with a pale annulus at middle of apical half, 

 a narrower one near middle of basal half, and a third nearly obso- 

 lete pale annulus just below knee ; intermediate tibiae chiefly pale 

 but marked with dark reddish, hind pair pale but more or less 

 darkened with blackish ; tarsi fuscous. Venter : Blackish, sides 

 irregularly tinged with reddish ; genital segment with a broad erect 

 tubercle above base of left clasper, somewhat notched at top, also a 

 small tubercle above base of right clasper, claspers distinctive of the 

 species. 



Female: Length 6.2 mm., width 1.9 mm. ; more robust than the 

 male but very similar in coloration. Antennae : Segment i, length 

 1.64mm.; ii, 3.4mm.; iii, 2.3mm.; iv, 1.7mm. Pronotum: 

 Length .86 mm., width at base 1 .46 mm. 



Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York. 

 Phytocoris davisi Knight, new species. 



Female: Length 6.3 mm., width 2 mm. Head : Width 1.06 mm., 

 vertex .46 mm., pale testaceous or white, with a black band 

 extending across front between bases of antennae and touching
