up from them and the accompaujing drawing prepared. There is some 

 little doubt as to the length of the wings, for they were, as a matter of 

 course, closely folded and not fully developed. The venation, however, 

 could be easily observed. The only other species of the genus reared 

 in this country is H. lejytocorisce, which Mr. Hubbard reared from the 

 eggs oi Leptocorisa tipuloides, a predaceous bug found commonly on the 

 Orange in Florida.

HADRONOTUS RUGOSUS sp. nov. 



Female. — Length 1.8 ™™. Expanse can not be measured, as the wings of the speci- 

 mens examined have not expanded. Antennae arise immediately above tlie mouth; 

 scape reaches nearly to anterior ocellus ; pedicel sub-cylindrical, as long as first funi- 

 cle joint; funicle joints increasing regularly in width from joint 1 to basal joint of 

 club; joint 1 of funicle twice as long as joint 2, the remaining joints sub-equal in 

 length ; joint 2 of club equal to joint 1 ; joint 3 longer than 2 and pointed. Head 

 and face closely, deeply, and regularly punctate ; facial impression shallow, with 

 transverse punctures and with a distinct central longitudinal carina. Mesouotum 

 strongly punctuate, the punctures of the scutum assuming a longitudinal direction. 

 Dorsal surface of abdomen strongly longitudinally rugose, each joint smooth at ex- 

 treme base and apex, the rugosities strongest upon joint 1, growing slightly fainter 

 on succeeding joints ; joints 2 longest, joints 1 and 3 slightly shorter ; venter of ab- 

 domen witli well-marked circular punctures. Entire surface of body with very 

 sparse whitish pilosity. General color black; mouth parts, antenuie, and legs honey 

 yellow, except that the front coxa?, antennal club and pedicel, and first two funicle 

 ioints above are brownish. The wings can not be well studied, but seem typical of 

 the •genus, and as in H. leptocorisce Howard. 



Described from 3 9 specimens (S unknown) dissected from eggs of 

 Heteropteron, found on Orange by H. S. Williams, Rock Ledge, Fla., in 

 April, 1880, and supposed by Professor Oomstock to be those of 

 Bysdercus suturellus.
