Fig. 335 shows the larger of the 520 FAMILY SCOLYTIDAE The Black Bug (Hemiptera).—The last of thepredaceous insects taken is a small, elongate,narrow, flat, shining, black bug, furnished witha strong, four-jointed, elongate, black pro-boscis, the last segment being pointed andyellowish. This projects from the top of thehead, which is small. The wings are mem-branous and palish yellow, the upper being foldedacross the lower. The thighs of the legs arethickened and black, the rest of the legs beingyellowish. Length, one-eighth inch, excluding thebeak (vide fig. 336). This little bug was very plentiful in thetrees, and is most probably, I think, predaceousupon the Polygraphus grubs, pupae, and perhapsbeetles.
