say’s heteropterous hemiptera. 
edge convexly arquated; posterior angles obtusely rounded : be¬ 
neath green; region of the base of the feet a little tinged with 
brownish; abdomen on the lateral edge whitish with a black 
point at each incisure; spiracles white with a blackish point. 
Length nine-twentieths of an inch. 
Much like the preceding, but it is shorter and more rounded, 
and the lateral edges of thorax are decidedly arquated. The spe¬ 
cimen is deficient in the terminal joint of the antennae. It wag 
presented to me by Mr. Oemler. I formerly supposed it a

11. P. inserta, Thorax deeply emarginato before, rounded 
each side; venter with a series of black dots. 
Inliab. Missouri and Arkansaw. 
Body oval, pale yellowish, with numerous black punctures on 
every part, excepting the membranaceous portion of the hemely-

lateral edge arquated, so as to include the posterior angles in 
the curve; line on the middle and posterior narrow margin im- 
punctured : scutel with a longitudinal impunctured line extend¬

black, densely punctured margin of the general color: beneath 
with two black spots behind the anterior feet; venter with a 
series of black dots; lateral margin darker or blackish at the in¬ 
cisures; feet with black points. 
Length half an inch. 
The specimen from the Arkansaw was givien me by Nut- 
tall. The lateral line of the thorax is less oblique than that of 
the preceding species, and the thorax is somewhat more de¬ 
pressed. 
(Male) destitute of the ventral spot? 
12. P. saucia, Scutel with a yellowish line; hemelytra with 
a fuscous line. 
Inliab. U. S. 
Body greenish-yellow; punctures not dense, but rather more
