The underside of the abdomen is lurid red. Among the bugs injurious to plants may be reckoned Pecilocapsus linea- tus, Fab., (4-vittatus, Say), a pretty yellow bug, with black lines on the wings, and two very conspicuous black spots on the thorax. These insects do injury to the leaves of currant bushes and garden plants; and they also taint the small fruits. They and the next mentioned insect belong to the Capsidce. Capsus lineolaris, Beauv., the Tarnished Plant-bug is ochreous with fuscous shades. It has dark spots along the edge of the abdomen. These insects danaage the leaves of pear trees, apple trees, etc. The Tingitidce are a remarkable family of bugs. The species are very small and very elegant. Seen under a microscope, they appear to be covered with lace-work. On account of this, they have been called "Lace ; The common species is Corythuca arcuata, Say. I have found a beautiful species on the Island of Orleans that I have not yet identified. The insects are found on the underside of Alder leaves. The "Flat Bugs" or Aradidcc are found under bark, and in crevices of trees. They are predaceous. In vol. XXXY. of the Canadian Entomologist, I have given a full description of a new species that I have taken at Que- bec, and have named Aradus Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Entomological Society of Ontario; Ontario.
