In the collection is a cluster of the eggs, arranged in a single tier, 

 forming a globular pellet, from which a larva has partly emerged. 

 The species ranges from Canada to Florida, and -west into Texas, 

 and is perhaps represented in California by a variety.

Dr. Harris erroneously refers this to Reduvius raptatorius Say. His 

 No. 37 is the true it. raptatorious Say. The specimens now remaining 

 are all females, notwithstanding one is labelled with the d sign.

Determined as Reduvius diadema Fab., by Mr. Say. 



One very much damaged male now remains in the collection ; the 

 female is so much mutilated as to be scarcely recognizable. The spe- 

 cies is common in many parts of North America, including Califor- 

 nia, Mexico and Central America.

"Reduvius {Petalocheirus) sanyuisugus Say, MSS.," determined 

 by himself. 



This species is known to me from Illinois, Georgia and Florida., 

 and recently a specimen has been captured in Maryland. It differs 

 from the C. sanguisugus LeConte; that species ha£ been redescribed 

 by Dr. Stal under the name C. lateralis.
