Orthaea alveusincola Harrington, new species 
(Figure 1) 
Description. Head, anterior pronotal lobe including collar, and 
scutellum sooty black. Posterior pronotal lobe, background color of 
clavus and corium, and majority of hemelytral membrane blackish 
brown; posterior pronotal lobe subtly lighter, grading toward light 
chestnut on humeral angles. A pair of small maculae on either side 
of midline on anterior half of posterior pronotal lobe, anterior one- 
half of corial margin of clavus, adjacent base of corium, an elongate 
macula midlength along claval margin of corium, lateral corial mar- 
gin except for apical corial angle, an elongate macula running just 
inside and extending less than half the length membranal margin of 
corium (forming a V-shape with the line-like pale lateral corial mar- 
gin), and a small macula on hemelytral membrane adjacent to apical 
corial angle pale, between tawny and buffy yellow. A small diffuse 
area between cream and pale gray marking the posterior margin of 
the hemelytral membrane medially. Antennal segment I, distal one- 
fourth of segment II, distal one-half of segment III, and extreme 
proximal portion and distal one-fourth of segment IV dark, fuscous 
tinged with chestnut. Femora of all three pairs of legs pale cream 
basally grading to between fuscous and tawny; the extent of the 
dark area greatest on the forelegs, covering almost three-fourths 
their length. Tibiae light tawny with distal ends fuscous. Tarsi with 
segments I and II light tawny and segment III darker. Abdomen 
laterally and ventrally dark chestnut, except pygophore dark tawny. 
Legs, antennae, and labium smooth; antennae with short hairs 
and legs and labium with sparse elongate hairs. Meso-and metatibae 
also with bristles along full length. Head subshining with micro- 
rugosity and numerous short, recumbent, anteriorly directed hairs. 
Pronotum pruinose and with fine recumbent hairs. Collar of ante- 
rior pronotal lobe and posterior pronotal lobe prominently punc- 
tate; punctures present but smaller, sparse and very shallow on 
anterior lobe. Scutellum pruinose, punctate, and clothed with fine 
hairs. Hemelytra subshining with sparse hairs emerging from punc- 
tures. Clavus with punctation in three regular rows plus an incom- 
plete fourth. Corium with a regular row of punctures along claval 
suture and another parallel row along cubitus; other claval puncta- 
tion randomly distributed. Abdomen ventrally and laterally sub- 
shining, clothed with numerous fine recumbent hairs.
