The three others may be separated thus : 1 (4). Lateral sides of the pronotum widely dilated, broader than the breadth of one eye and densely fringed with backward curved hairs; apical margin of the elytra nearly straight, rounded towards the interior oxexterior angles. 2 (3). Body covered with very shox-t hairs ; second joint of the antenn® shorter than the third ; lateral sides of the pronotum feebly reflexed, fringed with shorter hairs ihan the breadth of one eye; elytra with the commissural (inner) max-gin rounded and shorter than the scutellum, apical margin rounded towards the interior angle. 1. C. lectularius LINN. 3 (2). Body covered with longer hairs ; second and third antennal joints equal in length ; lateral sides of the pronotum narrowly but distinctly reflexed, fringed with longer hairs than the breadth of one eye ; elytra with the commissural margin straight and longer than the scutellum. apical max-gin rounded towards the exterior angle. 2. C. pilosclhis HORV. 4 (1). Lateral sides of the pronotum not dilated, nor x-eflexed, fringed with less dense and neax*ly straight hairs ; elytra with the apical margin distinctly rounded. 3. C. hemipterus F ABR. 1. Cimex lectularius LINN. The Common Bed-bug the synonymy of which is unnecessary to give here, is widely distributed in the New World and was recorded from Canada to Patagonia. I have received a large number also from Antofagasta, Chili. This universal pest of human habitations occurs often in henhouses, in pigeon nests and sometimes on bats. The U. S. National Museum of Washington possess some specimens taken in henhouses from Annacosta, I). C. (A. A. GIRAULT), Detroit, Mich. (H. G. HUBBARD) and Louisiana, Mo.
