Not reported from the State but its known and recorded distri- 

 bution should include it in its fauna.

This occurs most commonly in the macropterous forms, in fact 

 it may occur only in that form so far as my collection shows. 

 Here as in the following species the hemelytra are strongly marked 

 with fuscous posteriorly.

The brachypterous forms seem to be the more common. In the 

 macropterous forms the membrane is pale throughout with brown 

 veins, and in the brachypterous form the membrane does not extend 

 beyond the apex of the hemelytra and generally is slightly pale 

 only at the outer and inner basal angle. The lateral edge of the 

 pronotum is more concave and the fore femora are generally dark 

 brown and differently armed.

A dark brown shining species, with the hemelytra slightly paler, 

 coarsely and sparsely punctate. The pronotum is not separated 

 into two lobes and except at anterior margin, impunctate; the 

 lateral and posterior margins are straight, the former not at all 

 expanded, the edge being merely acute. Membrane abbreviated, 

 not extended beyond apex of hemelytra, its apex reaching to base 

 of sixth abdominal segment. Dorsal parts quite pilose. Fore 

 femora armed, preapically, with three small teeth. Last two 

 segments of the antennae piceous black. 3-3.5 mm. long. 



Collected in similar situations as Scolopostethus.

This is about the same length as but a little broader and less 

 shining and pilose than the preceding. The posterior lobe of the 

 pronotum is somewhat demarked from the anterior one by being 

 slightly depressed and closely punctate. Its general dark casta- 

 neous-brown coloring is relieved by touches of pale yellow at the 

 humeral angles of the pronotum and three spots on the scutellum. 

 The slightly expanded lateral margins of the pronotum and the
