Aradidae of Ohio. 
39 
Color brown. First joint, except at the base, tip of .scutelluni, margin of 
abdominal segments and legs, yellow. Tergum and disk of venter suffused 
with rufons. 
This .species has been collected at Westerville by Mr. Jas. G. 
Sanders, and at Cincinnati by Mr. Chas. Dur}*. It is recorded 
also for Canada and Pennsylvania by Bergroth, and this author 
suggests that this species has been mistaken for ornatus and so 
recorded in some earlier papers. 
It is a little more slender than that .species, the general color 
more distinctly brown, ba,se of elytra less dilated, and the depres- 
sions on the pronotum not polished. 
ArADUS Dl’RYI N. SP. 
Broad, sides snbparallel. Brown with ocher}- markings. An- 
tennae, joints 2 and 3 nearl}- equal. Length, female, 9 mm. 
Width of alxlomen, 4 mm. 
Head with anterior process much swollen, rounded at apex. .Antennae 
cylindric. joints of nearly equal diameter, first joint short, barely passing 
lateral spine and much short of anterior process ; two and three almost 
ecjual, one side two is slightly longer than three, on the other the reverse. 
Beak extends to hind border of prosternum. I'rothorax broad, lateral angles 
rounded, anteriorly narrowed; margin reflected, disk with four elevated 
ridges, the inner ones appro.xiniate on anterior half, the outer ones broken 
before the middle but continued to anterior margin. The carinae are coarsely 
granulate, the intercarinal spaces smooth but not polished. 
Scutelluni elongate triangular, margins raised and a median Carina on 
basal half, the margin at base and central carina granulate. Elytra with 
basal fourth strongly dilated, membrane broad, widening to broadly round- 
ing apex, which reaches nearly half way upon the genital lobes. Abdomen 
oval, broadly rounded behind, the sides .subparallel ; genital lobes long, sep- 
arate, divergent, obliquely subtruucate, the inner angles rounded. Fifth 
ventral segment as long at margin as on median line, e.xcavated, truncate on 
median section, sixth segment at middle about one and one-half times longer 
than fifth, slightly convex and medially notched. Seventh segment half as 
long as sixth, notched on middle, terminal segment short, subangulate. 
Color, ashy brown, with lighter areas on base of wings and veins of 
corium, and darker fuscous marks and veins on membrane. Antennae yel-
