Tribe RHYPAROCHROMINI. 



Key to Genera. 



1. Anterior margin of pronotum without a ring-like collar, at most 



faintly impressed or provided with a series of punctures within. 

 Pronotum strongly transverse with margins very slightly keeled 

 and not reflexed. Head not at all or very slightly exserted. 

 Commissure less than one-half the length of scutellum. Hind 

 tibia without rigid bristles. Basal segment of posterior tarsus 



not twice as long as second and third together 2 



Anterior margin of pronotum with a distinct ring-like collar; not 

 transverse; lateral margins slightly expanded and reflexed; dis- 

 tinctly separated into two lobes by an obtuse constriction just 

 before middle. Head not transverse, exserted, commonly con- 

 tracted back of eyes ; this post-ocular space subequal to space 

 between base of antenna and eye. Basal segment of antenna stout 

 and long, apex of tylus not reaching middle of this segment. 

 Basal segment of rostrum reaching base of head. Clavus irregu- 

 larly punctate ; commissure nearly as long as scutellum. Ante- 

 rior femora elongate, not strongly incrassate, armed beneath with 

 three or four equidistant spines. Posterior tibia with short rigid 

 bristles. Basal segment of posterior tarsus fully twice as long 



as second and third together. Mostly macropterous 



Ozophora 



2. Pronotum with disk of anterior lobe black; posterior lobe testa- 



ceous punctate with fuscous ; lateral margins slightly carinate. 

 Scutellum much longer than wide, a little longer than pronotum, 

 posteriorly bivittate with pale. Dorsal parts dull, not pilose. 

 First segment of antenna much shorter than second, and evidently 

 shorter than basal segment of rostrum. Fore femora incrassate 

 and armed with several strong and a few smaller teeth. Clavus 

 with three rows of punctures, the middle series abbreviated. 



Macropterous forms only. Size larger Peritrechus 



Pronotum with both lobes concolorous or nearly so, ferrugineous 

 or castaneous. Scutellum equilateral, not bivittate with pale. 

 Fore femora slightly incrassate, unarmed. First and second seg- 

 ments of the antennae nearly equal, the former longer than the 

 first segment of the rostrum. Body more or less pilose. 

 Macropterous and brachypterous. Small species 2 mm. long .... 



Antillocoris 



Ozophora Uhler. 



O. picturata Uhler.

This is the lone representative of the genus in any of the eastern 

 states. Head, anterior lobe of pronotum, five rather obscure longi- 

 tudinal fasciae of posterior lobe, central disk of scutellum, mark- 

 ings of the hemelytra and beneath, dark castaneous ; sternum often 

 darker. The following parts are pale stramineous — four obscure 

 fasciae of posterior lobe of pronotum, submarginal calloused streak 

 on either side of scutellum, much of the hemelytra, antennae 

 except apex of the last three segments, legs with exception of a
