Hymenarcys Amyot and Serville. 



This genus exhibits some of the peculiarities of the preceding, 

 but the scutellum is smaller and more constricted apically, this 

 approaching the more usual Pentatomid form, and the corium 

 extends further posteriorly, with the lateral angle acute. One 

 species occurs within our limits. 

 H. nervosa (Say). 



Het. New Harm., 9, 1832. 



Yellowish brown with dense black punctures, margins of prono- 

 tum and hemielytra impunctate. Length 8.5-9.5 mm. 



This common southern form has been found in New England 

 on only two occasions.
