Knight), taken on Gaura coccinea, which is the host plant. Squamocoris, new genus Arolia erect and converging at the apices as in Orthotylus; head distinctly oblique, clypeus prominent, angulate on basal half; vertex with basal carina evident but not elevated. Rostrum reaching upon posterior trochanters. Length of first antennal segment slightly greater than width of vertex plus dorsal width of an eye, rather thick and slightly curved; antennal seg- ment II cylindrical, thickness equal to two-thirds the thickness of segment I; segment III very long, equal to three times or more the length of segment IV. Pronotal disk with basal margin nearly straight, lateral margins distinct, anterior angles carinate, rather sharply produced; median line distinct, marked by a line of white flat scales which continue on median line of the head. Dorsal surface and sides of body rather thickly covered by appressed flat scalelike hairs, sparsely intermixed with simple recum- bent to erect simple pubescent hairs. Hemel- ytra subtranslucent, rather thickly covered with appressed, flat scalelike hairs. Legs pallid, widi rows of spots on femora; tibial spines black, with black spot at base of each.
