lobes equal in length; antennae long, two basal segments and most of 
third segment greenish, the fourth and fifth segments and apical portion 
of third segment reddish brown, the third segment a little longer than 
second. Rostrum extending between postcoxae. Pronotum unicolorous, 
coarsely, sparsely punctate, deflexed anteriorly, a more or less distinct 
longitudinal median line and a spot at each anterior apical angle whitish; 
antero-lateral margins straight; humeri rounded, a little swollen. Scu- 
tellum green, coarsely punctate, somewhat irregularly marked with whitish 
and with a large yellowish white calloused spot at each basal angle; apex 
yellowish white. Hemelytra more finely punctate but with an irregular, 
elongate calloused area on the disk; membrane white to hyaline, shining. 
Connexivum with a yellowish white spot at the middle of each segment. 
Venter rather sparsely but sharply punctate; green, with a median and 
two lateral white lines, the latter connected with the former by a finer 
whitish transverse line near the middle of each segment; outer margins of 
the segments with a yellowish white spot at the middle. Ventral thoracic 
plates green, the pro-, meso- and metastethus each with a large white spot 
on either side, the continuation forward of the lateral white lines of the 
abdomen; mesostethus with a large pale calloused spot on either side of 
median line at anterior margin. Legs green, the apex of tibiae and tarsal 
segments reddish brown. Length, 9.0-10.5 mm. Width across pronotum, 
5.0-6.0 mm. 
The shining pale green color with the distinct whitish calloused 
spot at each basal angle of the scutellum and the three longi- 
tudinal rows of white spots on the green venter will at once serve 
to distinguish this insect from its congeners as well as from any 
of our other green pentatomids. Osborn recorded a single speci- 
men from lowa but did not cite a definite locality. So far as I 
am able to determine, this still remains the only available record 
for the state. The ordinary distribution of this bug is much 
farther south than our latitude, the species having been recorded 
from Texas, South Carolina, Maryland, Florida, Indian Terri- 
tory and Georgia. My specimens are from Louisiana, Alabama 
and New Mexico. Uhler (J. c.) records the occurrence of the 
species beneath the bark of cedar trees near Waco, Texas. Little 
is known of its habits.

This is a small genus containing seven forms which are dis- 
tributed mainly in southern and southwestern United States. 
The single Iowa representative is found throughout the United
