480 HEMIPTEROLOGICAL GLEANINGS 



fulvous spot either side of the middle of the convex anterior lobe, and a 

 small one on either side of the base of the tumidly bilobate posterior lobe. 

 Elytra pale blotched with black especially on the clavus and apical 

 disk of the corium ; costa pale ending in an elongated black spot. Cuneus 

 pale yellow, black on the inner angle and fuscous at apex. Membrane 

 smoky, its nervures black. Beneath mostly pale, clouded with fuscous along 

 the sides. Femora dotted with fuscous, the tibiae four times alternated 

 with black. Tarsi and rostrum dusky, the latter attaining the hind edge of 

 the metasternum. 



Described from one male and two female specimens taken by 

 me at Hamburg and Gowanda, N. Y., and Crescent City, Fla. 

 Those taken in New York were beaten from hickory trees over 

 which they were prowling, apparently in search of prey. 



Genus Largidea Uhler, MS. 



Allied to Hadronema. Head short, nearly vertical, scarcely 

 produced below the line of the gula ; cheeks narrow, but little 

 prominent; lorae minute, obscure; vertex ecarinate. Antennae 

 robust; first joint scarcely attaining the apex of the head; 

 second about as long as the pronotum, much thickened regu- 

 larly toward its apex; third and fourth short, subequal, and 

 about as long as the first, fusiform, much thinner than the 

 others. Pronotum coarsely puncture 1, trapeziform, about as 

 long as wide across its base, sides straight, strongly carinate, 

 base broadly rounded over the base of the scutellum; apex 

 about one-half as broad as the base, flat, collar wanting; callou- 

 sities obscure, bounded behind by an impressed hooked line. 

 Scutellum small, rugose. Elytra finely punctured; the costal 

 margin moderately expanded and curved. Membrane bi-areo- 

 late. Wings without a hamus. Legs rather short; tibiae armed 

 with closeset hairs but without stiff bristles; first joint of the 

 tarsi nearly as long as the apical two united; second short and 

 scarcely distinguished from the third. Arolia wanting. Rost- 

 rum just passing the intermediate coxae. Surface short- 

 pubescent. 



This genus seems to be very near to Distant's genus Fuscus 

 (Biol. Heter. I, p. 299), but he does not mention the carinate 

 margin of the pronotum which he would almost certainly have 

 done had it been present in his genus. Dr. Reuter mentions 

 this genus under his subfamily Heterotominae on page 110 of 

 his Neue Beitrage zur Phylogenie und Systematik der Miriden, 

 1910; probably from specimens I had sent to him so determined 

 for me by Dr. Uhler.
