Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ...of the genital segments of the same color in the female. Legs pale, lineate or clouded with fuscous. Length of body 3-3.50 mm.; length to tip of elytra 4.25-6 mm. The writer has taken both sexes by sweeping grasses in pine woods during 1921 at the following localities in in Mississippi: Columbus, June 23-25; Okolona, June 28; Tupelo, July 2; Port Gibson, July 22; Poplarville, July 28; Lucedale, Aug. 8; and Hattiesburg, Aug. 10. The writer also has on hand a male collected by himself at Columbia, S. C, Aug. 7, 1917 and a series from Chester, Ga., June 14, 1904. Oecleus decens Stal (1862 Ber. Ent. Zeit., vi, p. 307) This is chiefly a western species. It was described from Mexico and is known from New Mexico and California. I have on hand three females taken by Prof. J. S. Hine at Cameron, La., Aug. 14, 1903, that agree for the' most part with the meager description of Stal. Very close to borealis but distinguished at once by the vertex which is of about the same proportionate width as in borealis but distinctly more produced before the eyes. Elytra are entirely transparent hyaline, without the smoky apex of borealis, and the nervures are pale but distinctly and darkly punctate. Otherwise as in borealis but larger. Length of body 4.25 mm.; length to tip of elytra 5.50 mm. Oecleus campestris Ball Very closely allied to borealis but the vertex is slightly wider and the nervures over the entire elytra are much more distinctly and darkly punctate. General color dark fuscous, with all the caririae, the narrow margins of the scutellum, the pleural pieces, and a cloud or vitta near the lateral angles of the scutellum, fulvo-testaceous. Head distinctly broader than long, somewhat semicircular in outline. Vertex distinctly wider tihan in borealis, slightly produced bey...
