Mr. Bradley's specimens were beaten from small juniper trees growing among the sage-brush on the plains at the mouth of City Creek Canon near Milford. He has kindly sent me a photograph of this col- lecting ground, reproduced below, showing one of the junipers in the fore ground and others in the distance. This species is congeneric and very close to the insect described and figured in the Biologia

He has kindly sent me a photograph of this col- lecting ground, reproduced below, showing one of the junipers in the fore ground and others in the distance. This species is congeneric and very close to the insect described and figured in the Biologia Centrali Americana as May ana costata Distant; (Heteroptera vol. i, p. 388, pi. 34, fig. 13, 1893.) but Mr. Distant has very kindly compared specimens with his type and pronounces them distinct. In scabrosns the rostrum is longer than in our other species, the pronotum is shorter and broader and the general appearance of the insect is somewhat different from Cropliius, but I can find no characters which I would call of generic value. It really differs less gen- erically from disconotus than does Characteristic sage-brush plain at mouth of City Creek Canon, Utah, showing juniper tree on which Crophius scabrosus was 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 Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences.
