71. Cymus bellus n. sp. 



Form of angustatus but much smaller and marked 

 with black and white on a testaceous ground. Head 

 short and broad, much swollen across the base, strongly 

 punctured; tylus much deflected, viewed from above 

 short and broad, but little longer than the short pointed 

 cheeks. Eyes not prominent. Basal joint of the anten- 

 nae thick, cylindrical, as broad as the tylus which it ex- 

 ceeds by one half its length; second about one third the 

 length of the first; third considerably longer than the 

 second and like it slender and and feebly clavate at apex; 



fourth about e^ual to the first, fusiform. Bucculae prom-

lment, rounded, thick and punctured like the cheeks and 



tylus with which the}- are confused. Rostrum attaining the intermediate 

 coxae; first joint not quite reaching the base of the head. Pronotum strong- 

 ly convex posteriorly; lateral margins sinuated just before the humeri, al- 

 most rectilinear anterior to this sinus; median carina distinct for a short 

 space before the middle; anterior edge elevated and thin; surface coarsely and 

 regularly punctured. Scutellum short carinate posteriorlv. Elytra coria- 

 ceous, punctured; apical margin rather strongly sinuated near its apex. 

 Length 3mm. 



General color castaneous. Head deep black; antennae testaceous, 

 darker or castaneous on the apical joint; first joint deep black as far as the 

 tip of the tylus, its apex white. Pronotum shading to black posteriorly, at 

 least in the males; anterior edge whitish. Scutellum dark castaneous becom- 

 ing black at apex, sometimes white on either side. Elytra testaceous be- 

 coming a little darker inwardly and along the base of the costa; extreme tip 

 of the clavus and slender hind margin of the corium black; membrane whit- 

 ish hyaline with a narrow median fuscous vitta. Beneath castaneous; the 

 legs a little paler, claws black. 



Sevenoaks. Described from numerous examples swept 

 from a fine grass or more probably a Juncus growing" on one of 

 the dry open depressions that are common in the interminable 

 pine barrens of Florida. This is a tiny but very pretty species 

 with much the aspect of certain of the Tingids. I have received 

 from Mr. W. J. Gerhard a much paler specimen taken at St. 

 Augustine, Fla. In this individual the intense black of the 

 head and basal joint of the antennae persists and well distin- 

 guishes the species. 



72. Ischnodemus rufipes n. sp. 



Aspect of f aliens but a little larger. Black, opake, clothed with a 

 minute cinerous pubescence ; hind margin of the pronotum more or less 

 castaneous ; antennae slightly tinged with castaneous basally ; tergum and 

 borders of the venter shading to castaneous, the edge of the connexivum
