Ilnacora viridis Uhler n. sp. 
“Bright grass green, narrow, not highly polished. Head flat as usual^ set with black 
stiff pubescence, with the vertex more or less broadly impressed before the sharp occipi¬ 
tal Carina; front prominently convex, wider than long, grooved each side near the eyes; 
tylus short, inferior, placed much below the lower end of the eyes; rostrum dull green, 
broad and compressed at base with the basal joint protracted upon the anterior coxae, 
the tip black, reaching to the middle coxae: antennae dusky greenish, long, growing 
slender towards the tip, the basal joint thick, black at base and apex, much longer than 
the head, the second joint very long, black at base and tip, about equal to the corium in 
length, the third darker, more slender, less than half as long as the second, the four 
about equally slender, also dark, much shorter than the third. Pronotum trapeziform, 
almost flat, very gently sloping, set with erect blackish pubescence anteriorly and on the 
sides; the anterior margin reaching to about the middle of the eyes, with the colium 
raised in the middle; the callosities large, transverse, separated by a deep exca,vation, 
the anterior angles broadly rounded; the lateral margins oblique, reflexed and sinuated 
posteriorly; the humeral angles a little protracted, forming lobes a little recurved with 
the tip cut obliquely, surface wrinkled, hardly punctate. Scutellum feebly convex, 
acute at tip, sometimes a little whiiish at base. Legs long, the femora green, somewha 
spotted with white; the tibiae dull yellowish, armed with black spines; tip of tarsi 
piceous. Hemelytra long and ample with the costal border very slightly curved; surface 
of clafus and corium tiat, obsoletely scabrous; mtmbrane smoke brown. Coxae and 
base of venter whiiish. ^ 
Length to end of abdomen 4.5 mm. To tip of membrane 5.5 mm. ^\ldth of pronotum 
1.33 mm. I have examined four specimens of both sexes, from Colorado. They approach 
I. (Sthenarops) malina Uhler, but differ in the absence of the indented black dots on the 
pronotum, and of the black markings of face, in less convex front, and in the color of the 
antennae and scutellum. The form is somewhat variable, as is also the length of the 
hemelytra.’’
