16. ALLOEOCRANUM Reuter 
Reuter calls this a subgenus of Stal’s Microcleptes. Leth. et Severin (96, 
261) use this name for the genus, Microcleptes being preoccupied in Coleoptera. 
Stal, (c)240, (f)109, 119; Reuter, Act. Soc. Fenn, xii, p. 332. (1881.) 
A. niANNULiPES Montr. et Sign., (1861, p. 69) was transferred from Opsicoetus 
by Stal to form this monotypic genus. It is found in Cuba, Panama and the 
islands of the Pacific. 
17. LEOGORRUS Stal 
Stal, (f)109, 118; Champion, 197. 
The following key to the species has been adapted from Champion: 
a. Posterior lobe of the prbnotum transversely rugose; head with .lateral 
post-ocular portions nearly twice as long as eyes, latter prominent; 
membrane with nervures slightly ochreous; over 18 mm. long 
formicarius Fabr. 
a. Posterior lobe of pronotum smooth or faintly rugulose; length 11-16 mm. 
b. Head with lateral post-ocular portions not longer than eyes, latter 
large, prominent; nervures ochreous Utura Fabr. 
bb. Head with lateral, post-ocular portion longer than eyes, latter mod- 
erately large or small; nervures not ochreous. 
c. Elytra with rather large patch below base and apex of corium 
broadly ochreous; post-ocular portion of the head little longer than 
the eyes Venator Stal 
cc. Elytra with small ochreous patch below base; post-ocular portion 
of head very much longer than eyes longiceps Champ.

Lamarck, 298; King; Stal (b)138, (f)108, 119 {Opsicoetus). 
The sting of the species of this genus results in a swelling more painful than 
that of a bee. Two species have been recorded from North America, one of 
which is our very notorious ‘'kissing bug.” 
R. PEESONATUS Linn. (724) (Fabr. (a) 194, (b)257; Howard, 33) has received 
unusual attention on account of its large size and wide distribution. The color 
is piceous. Synonyms: R. pungens LeC., Gimex quisquilius, DeG. and R. 
alhosignatus Prov. 
R. SENILIS YanDuzeeih) was described in 1906 from a specimen from Arizona. 
It is only 10 mm. long and is pale testaceous in color, “inclining to piceous 
on the head, pronotum and scutellum.” The small size and light color dis- 
tinguish it from R. personatus. 
Reduvius guttatus Walk and R. signifer Walk, belong in Homalocoris and 
Leogorrus respectively.
