BUFFALO SOCIF/TY OF NATURAL SCIENCES 511 



largely ivory white alternated with brown, the costal broken by a dark line 

 before the middle, a longer one before the stigma and a shorter one behind 

 it ; apex with about five brownish spots, the inner quadrangular, the three 

 middle sometimes coalesing; clavus more finely mottled with the base and 

 apex of the nervures white. Pectoral pieces dark brown or blackish, margined 

 with pale. Legs and venter pale testaceous brown; the posterior tibise 

 faintly dotted with brown; tarsi annulated with brown. Last ventral seg- 

 ment of the female broadly obtusely emarginate. Length about 5 mm. 



Described from one pair taken on April 20th 1909, at Bala- 

 clava, Jamaica, by Mr. A. E. Wright. I have named this 

 species in honor of the late Prof. Alexander Agassiz, Director 

 and Patron of the Museum of Comparative Zoology from which 

 collection these specimens were kindly sent to me for study by 

 the Curator, Mr. Samuel Henshaw. This species resembles 

 pulicarias in the markings of the head and tessellatus in the 

 variegated elytra From the latter it differs by its still larger 

 size the less arcuated hind margin of the pronotum, the brown 

 borders of the clypeus, the more approximate pale vittse on the 

 scutellum and more broken maculation on the elytra. 



Eupterix collina Flor. 



This pretty tessellated species, marked with three con- 

 spicuous black spots on the vertex, is common in Europe but 

 has not heretofore been recorded from this country. I have 

 recently received an example taken by Mr. J. C. Bradley at 

 Palo Alto, California, in September and a good series taken at 

 Fredonia, N. Y., November 9th 1911, by Mr. C. R. Crosby. It 

 makes an interesting addition to our North American fauna. 



ADDITIONAL CAPSIDAE. 



Criocoris canadensis n. sp. 



Most closely related to tibialis Fieb. Black: antennae of 

 the female fulvous with the first joint and base of the second 

 black. Length 3 mm. 



Head produced, conical; as long as its basal width when viewed verti- 

 cally to its upper surface. Basal joint of the antennae attaining the tip of 

 the clypeus, much narrowed at base especially in the male. Second joint in 

 the female much thinner; scarcely thickened toward the apex; as long as the 

 pronotum; in the male strongly incrassated, wider than the basal and very 

 slightly narrowed toward its apex ; third two-thirds the length of the second ; 

 fourth shorter than the third. Whole surface covered with deciduous scale- 

 like appressed white hairs which are easily lost; the upper surface with a 

 few short black hairs.
