Determined as Reduvius cinctus by Mr. Say. 



A specimen of each sex now remains in the collection. They are 

 of the normal type, as it most commonly appears throughout the At- 

 lantic region. Near the seacoast of New Jersey it is sometimes met 

 with in great numbers on the small oak and hickory trees.

 A single male without annulations upon the femora now belongs 

 to the collection. The species varies very greatly, and is very widely 

 distributed throughout sub-tropical America, including our Southern 

 States and Mexico.

The description given by Dr. Stal applies to the faded female. 

 When alive the female is apple-green with bright red eyes. The 

 male is almost black on the hemelytra. Specimens of the first named 

 sex become more or less fuscescent after death, and such is the type 

 described by Dr. Stal. I regret that before meeting with the above 

 description, I had sent specimens to various correspondents in this 

 country and Europe, labelled Evagoras viridis Uhler. The latter 

 name is the one I had given it in my MS., and of course it must fall 

 before the published one of Dr. Stal.
