say’s heteroptbrous iiemiptera. 
scutel with a distinct yellowish vitta : hemelytra with a fuscous 
vitta, not reaching the base or tip; superior margin yellowish; 
tergum black, minutely rugose, but not punctured; margin 
yellowish. 
Length about two-fifths of an inch. 
The dark brown vitta on the hemelytra is a distingnishiug 
mark. 
I took an individual on the eastern shore of Virginia, an¬ 
other in Florida, and a third either in Pennsylvania or Indiana. 
13. P. calva, Reddish-brown; head and anterior half of the 
thorax yellowish. 
Inhab. Virginia. 
Body reddish-brown, punctured: head yellowish; edge darker: 
antenna: rufous; first and second joints green; third joint a little 
longer than the second : thorax on the anterior half yellowish; 
lateral edges rectilinear: tergum sanguineous, blackish at tip, 
beneath whitish; venter with a few rufous points and some 
clusters of rufous points each side; lateral margin with a black 
point at the incisures. 
Length about two-fifths of an inch. 
I caught this species on the Holly (lie). 
14. P. dimidiata, anterior part of the thorax of a different 
color ; second joint of the antennae half the length of the third. 
Inhab. Georgia and Florida. 
Body dull greenish, varying to almost reddish-brown: head 
not contracting anteriorly, rounded at tip: antenna rufous, 
terminal joint a little darker towards the tip; at base paler; 
second joint not longer than the first, and not more than half 
as long as the third : thorax , rather more than the anterior half 
yellowish ; lateral edge rectilinear : tergum purple-black, some¬ 
what polished, rufous at tip; sometimes entirely rufous, except¬ 
ing the margin which is yellowish. 
Length about seven-twentieths of an inch. 
The brevity of the second joint of the antennas, will readily 
distinguish this species from the preceding. I obtained speci¬ 
mens in Florida, and an individual was sent me from Georgia 
by Mr. Oernler.
