Barber and sent me for study by Mr. Heidemann and one pair taken at the same locality by Mr. E. A. Schwarz and received from the National Museum. This is a very distinct little species differing from our other known forms by the slender antennae with short basal joint, the finely and obscurely punctured el}-tra, and in having the clavus and corium immaculate, 4.

This is a very distinct little species differing from our other known forms by the slender antennae with short basal joint, the finely and obscurely punctured el}-tra, and in having the clavus and corium immaculate, 4. Crophius Bohemani Stal. Fregatta Eugenies Resa, Hemiptera, p. 251, 1859, (Cymus). Larger and broader posteriorly than in the allied species. Antennae stout; basal joint a little surpassing the tylus; apical rather longer than the second, about twice the length of the third. Rostrum attaining the base of the metasternum. Bucculae ending abruptly some distance from the base of the head. Pronotum longer than in the typical disconotus; very feebly constricted; the callousities but slight- ly elevated. Elytra ample, almost flat, coarsely punctured, the clavus with a few irregular punctures be tween the submarginal rows, scarcely forming a third row. Length 4 mm. Color: Head, a pronotal band across the callousities, scu- tellum, and the meso- and metasternum and pleurae black. Anterior margin of the prothorax whitish, posterior lobe of the pronotum piceous brown, becoming paler behind on the median line. Elytra soiled white, slightly infuscated across the middle of the corium, accentuated on the nervures there; membrane paler on the base and around the apical border, the nervures darker, Legs piceous brown; coxae, knees, tibiae and tarsi, except at apex, pale yellowish; tibiae broadly annulate with pale. Venter piceous brown, polished. Antennae dark brown, apex of the first joint and the second except at tip, pale fulvous, the first sometimes almost entirely Please note that these images are extracted from scanned
