1. P. fraterna, Brown; feet immaculate; hemelytra as long 
as the head and thorax. 
Inliab. New Orleans. 
Body slender and elongated, brown; resemblingP.—; Ainer. 
Entom. v. 3, pi. 47, but is smaller; feet immaculate; largest 
spine of the anterior feet white, with a black tip: tibiae black¬ 
ish : head paler than the thorax with a double brown line 
diverging anteriorly, before tbe transversed impressed line; 
posterior portion pale; hemelytra hardly longer than the ante¬ 
rior portion of the body. 
Length to tip of hemelytra seven-tenths of an inch. 
This insect was sent to me by Mr. Barabino. It closely 
resembles our common species represented in the Am. Entom. 
Yol. 3, pi. 47, but it is much smaller and the feet have no 
appearance of annulations. 
3. [2] P. errabuiida, This is so closely allied to P. vagabunda, 
Fabr. that I give it a distinct name with much hesitation; never¬ 
theless the anterior thighs are somewhat less elongated, with 
the two basal spines much more prominent than the others, the 
abdomen is immaculate, the annulations of the feet are much 
more obvious; the lateral carinate line of the thorax has a 
f iinence like an obtuse spine before : In these characters it 
rs from the vagabunda: but in the spotted appearance of 
hemelytra and the form and magnitude of the scutellar 
spinel it resembles that species.
