512 HEMIPTEROLOGICAL GLEANINGS 



Color black, somewhat polished, becoming fuscous on the elytra and 

 almost testaceous on the apex of the head, base of the abdomen, and toward 

 the apex of the tibia?. Antennas in the female; first joint black, second 

 fulvous, black at base; third testaceous becoming dusky towards its apex; 

 in the male black with the third and fourth fuscous, the third pale at base. 

 .Anterior and intermediate tibia? pale for a short space near their apex; the 

 tarsi soiled white, brownish at tip. Elytra black becoming obscure fuscous 

 on the corium. Membrane faintly smoky with a pale arc exterior to the 

 nervures, more pronounced at the apex of the smaller areole ; the cells darker 

 fuscous. Wings almost hyaline, iridescent, the nervures feebly distinguished. 



Described from three males avid three females taken by 

 Mr. Geo. A. Moore of Montreal at North Hatley and Como, 

 Quebec, and Lachine, Ont. , in July and August. The male of 

 this species agrees almost exactly with Reuter's description of 

 his Stronglotes saliens, male, and I would not be surprised if 

 his Pennsylvania specimen belonged here; but the female is 

 very distinct in its slender and strongly colored antennae, and 

 places the species in genus Criocoris without a question. 



The generic name Strongylotes of Reuter is preoccupied as 

 is also the name Laodamia substituted for it by Kirkaldy I 

 therefore propose the name Criocoridea for this genus which 

 seems to differ from Criocoris principally in the form and color 

 of the female antennae. 



Lygus chagnoni Stev. 



Mr. Geo. A. Moore of Montreal has very kindly secured 

 for me the type of this species which on careful examination I 

 find to be typical Lygus pabulinus Linn. Mr. Stevenson (Can. 

 Ent., vol. 35, p. 214, 1903) compares his new species with 

 pabulinns but evidently his pabulinus is belfragei of Reuter. 

 His name chagnoui must therefore fall as a synonym of 

 pabulinus Linn. 



Phytocoris vanduzei Reuter. 



Dr. Reuter thinks, and in this I believe he is right, that 

 my Dichrooscytus marmoratus should be transferred to genus 

 Phytocoris where it will find itself preoccupied by an European 

 species of the same name. He therefore (Hemipterologische 

 Miscellen, p. 30) renames it P. vanduzei. This species is not 

 typical of genus Phytocoris but it is probably better placed there 

 than in any other genus.
