No. 34-] HEMIPTERA OF CONNECTICUT: TINGIDAE. 705 



G. heidemanni Osborn and Drake. (PL xvii, 5.) 



Ohio St. Univ. Bull., xx, 238, 1916. 



Body black, membranous portions whitish hyaline ; eyes, disk of 

 pronotum, discoidal, subcostal, and sutural areas of hemielytra 

 dark brown to black, the main veins paler; a few nervures of 

 paranota and most of those in the costal area dark. Length 3 mm. 



This species has usually been referred to as G. oblonga Say, but 

 was distinguished by Heidemann under the MS name affinis and 

 described as new by Osborn and Drake. G. oblonga Say, length 

 2.75 mm., and G. clitoriae Heidemann, length 2.2 mm., are included 

 in the table of species as they will probably be found within our 

 limits. 



Feeds on the false indigo, Baptisia tinctoria.

Physatocheila Fieber 



(PI. xvii, 4.)

 lation of the hemielytra and other parts being very close, as in the 

 succeeding genera. Pronotum with three complete carinae; 

 paranota wide and reflexed closely against dorsal surface; hood 

 small, projecting very slightly over the head.
