490 HEMIPTEROLOGICAL GLEANINGS 



apical margins of the corium ; margins of the cuneus, especially the outer, 

 and the costal and subcostal nervnres of the corium toward their apex 

 thickened and colored; commissural nervure of the clavus with a blackish 

 line at apex and sometimes at base. Nervures of the membrane from near 

 their base to the apex of the smaller areole thick and fuscous, thus form- 

 ing a double brown hook. On the disk of the corium at its widest part is 

 a wide subcreseentic dusky cloud and a round one occupies the middle of 

 the membrane beyond the areoles. In all my specimens there is a bluish- 

 green mark in the larger areole next the thickened nervure and another on 

 the base of the cuneus which may extend on to its inner margin. Wings 

 pellucid white; tarsi brownish at apex; tip of the rostrum black. 



Described from one female and three male examples in 

 only one of which is the pale pubescence, characteristic of the 

 genus, retained. These specimens were all taken at Leona 

 Heights, Almeda Co. , California, in August, by Mr. J. C. Brad- 

 ley. This species has a little the aspect of a Cyrtopeltis but the 

 different shape of the head and want of a pronotal collar will at 

 once separate it from that genus. 



Diaphnidia capitata n sp. 



Smaller than pelhicida and distinguished by its black head 

 and fuscous basal joint of the antennae. Length 3 mm. 



Head polished, convex, the median sulcus nearly obsolete. Pronotum 

 proportionately broader than in pellucida, the callousities prominent but 

 small. Elytra parallel, scarcely widened apically, surface finely pale- 

 pubescent ; rostrum passing the hind coxae. 



Color whitish, tinged with testaceous or greenish in immature speci- 

 mens. Head pieeous-blaek, the eyes dark castaneous ; antennas a little 

 infuscated at apex; basal joint and apex of the second infuscated in one 

 immature specimen. Rostrum whitish, its apex scarcely darker in my 

 specimens. Elytra diaphanous, the nervures scarcely thickened or pigment- 

 ed. Membrane iridescent and very slightly enfumed beyond the areoles. 

 Claws concolorous. 



Described from three female examples; one taken by me 

 in August 1907 at Lawton's Station, near Buffalo, N. Y. , and 

 two from "Psocid Glen" at Johnstown, Fulton Co., N. Y., taken 

 by Mr. C. P. Alexander on August 30th 1910. The small size 

 and black head will at once distinguish this species. 



Calocoris uhleri n. n. 



In 1895 Dr. Uhler described a Calocoris tinctus in Gillette 

 and Baker's Hemiptera of Colorado, p. 34. This name however 

 was used by Distant in 1884 for another species in the same genus 

 so I now change that of Dr. Uhler as above. In the Canadian
