Maurodactylus angulatus Uhler n. sp. 
“Mostly pale obscure testaceous above and black beneath, long oval, minutely 
sericeous pubescent. Head nearly triangular, wider than long, dull black, irregularly 
testaceous at base, face almost vertical, minutely, sparsely pubescent, feebly convex, not 
apparently punctate, the occipital edge sharp, nearly straight, not carinate; the tylus 
narrow, almost acute at tip; rostrum yellow from base to middle, black from thence to 
tip, reaching to behind the middle coxae, the basal joint reaching to the end of the arched 
mucro, swollen at tip; the bucculae slender and pale yellow; antennae blackish, moder¬ 
ately stont, reaching as far as to the middle of the venter, the basal joint projecting little 
beyond the tip of the head, the second joint stout, of uniform thickness throughout, a 
little longer than the vertex and pronotum, the following joints shorter and more slender. 
Pronotum short, trapezoidal, transverse, a little polished, impunctate, minutely and 
remotely pubescent, pale greenish testaceous, almost flat, with an abbreviated black line 
crossing the line of the callosities, the anterior and posterior margins almost straight, the 
lateral margins a very little sinuated, the pleural flaps deep, obscure black, bordered with 
testaceous; pleural and sternal areas black, also partly margined with whitish. Legs 
including the coxae, greenish yellow, the middle of femora, the spines, and apex of tarsi 
black. Scutellum dull black, uncovered at base, and with a pale fulvous spot in each 
basal angle. Hemelytia obscure testaceous, minutely pubescent, placed almost flat, with 
the costal border a very little curved; clavus dusky towards the tip, corium with a double, 
long, dusky, widening spot running back to tip, cuneus with a dusky spot near tip; 
membrane long, pale dusky, darker in the basal cell. Venter polished, black, narrow, 
with the edges of the segments obscure whitish. 
Legth to end of venter 3 mm. To tip of membrane 3.5 nun. Width of pronotum 1 mm. 
Only one specimen has thus far been brought to my notice. It is a male, and bears some 
resemblance to Maurodactylus alutaceus Fieber., of Europe.”

Maurodactylus consors Uhler n. sp. 
“Form narrow, almost parallel sided on the hemelytra, very slightly pubescent above, 
black, polished. Head triangular, wider than long, acute at tip; the occipital edge sharp, 
a little raised at the middle; the face moderately convex, not apparently punctate; eyes 
prominent, large, placed nearly vertical, set close to the pronotum, darkbi’own; the tylus 
prominent, curving beneath; rostrum fulvo-piceous, darker at base and tip, reaching 
upon the middle coxae; the bucculae pale, narrow; antennae black, long, with the two 
basal joints stout, the second as long as from the scutellum to inner angle of the corium, 
the third a little more slender, about three-fourths as long as the second, the fourth 
scarcely more slender than the third, hardly one-half the length of the third. Pronotum 
small, moderately convex, a little wider than long, minutely scabrous and a little 
wrinkled; the anterior lobe short, tumidly elevated, with the impressed line feebly 
defined ; the lateral margins oblique, hardly sinuated; the anterior margin but very little 
wider than the space between the eyes, with the collum obsolete, and a slight indentation 
behind its middle; the forward slope of surface moderately steep; humeral angles 
wrinkled, a little callous and acute. Scutellum widely exposed at base, longer than 
wide, obsoletely and remotely scabrous, acute at tip. ^emora broad, black, yellow at 
tip, the anterior and middle parts, tibia and the tarsi pale piceous, with the spines black. 
Clavus obsoletely scabrous; the corium a little more finely so; cuneus separated from

next the cuneus and the looped vein pale. Venter black, short, polished.
