line toward their tips: coxa; black: anterior pair yellowish at 
tip, remaining pairs slightly tipped with yellowish.

For this species I am indebted to Nuttal, who obtained it in 
Missouri. 
4. A. humulis, Black, hemelytra with a yellowish margin and 
three spots. 
Inhab. Florida. 
Body black, with short, scattered hairs: head with a trans¬ 
verse white lino before and a longitudinal yellowish line on the

an impressed puncture before the impressed transverse line; 
hemelytra with the exterior margin [and] three rather large spots 
along the sub-margin, yellowish, membrane dull yellowish, with 
black nervures and fuscous oblong spots in a transverse series 
alternating with the nervures: feet and rostrum yellowish.

The interstitialis, Nob, which this resembles, has the exterior 
margin of the hemelytra black and is much larger, it has also a 
large spot on the middle of the tip of the hemelytra, that does 
not exist in this species. 
The inter stitialis is much like the littoralis, Fabr. but in none 
of my specimens of the latter is there a large yellowish spot on 
the middle of the tip of the c'orium.
