REVISION OF THE AMERICAN CIMICID^. 259 2. Cimex pilosellus HORV. Clinocoris pilosellus HORV. Ent. Monthl. Mag. (2) XXI. p. 12. fig. (1910). This species is a parasite of bats, but is easily distinguished from the European Bat-bug (Cimex pipistrelli JEN.) by the lateral sides of the pronotum widely dilated. It is more closely allied to the Common Bed-bug, but differing by the characters given in the key above. I have described this species originally from Okanagan Landing, British Columbia, where it was caught on Myoiis longicrus ; but it also inhabits the United States and feeds on various species of bats. The specimens of the U. S. National Museum of Washington examined by me were found at the following localities : Lewis Co., N. Y., on Vesperugo noctivagus ; Bowmans Bluff, N. C., on Nycticejus crepuscular his ; Kernville, Cal., on Vespcrugo hesperus (A. K. FISHER) ; Willcox, Ariz., on Antrozous sp. (A. K. FISHER). 3. Cimex hemipterus FABR. Acanthia hemiptera F

A widely distributed species in the tropical regions of Africa and Asia, but also occurring in the West Indies and Brazil, where it was most probably introduced from Africa. The Hungarian National Museum possess specimens from Brazil (S. Paolo, Manaos), Trinidad (Port of Spain) and Jamaica (St. Ann's Bay). I have seen in the Brussels Museum a specimen from Antigua determined by LETHIERRY as C. foedas STAL. Cimex hemipterus is a parasite of man and occurs in human habitations, but sometimes feeds on birds and bats. A part of the specimens I have received by the kindness of the Hon. N. C. BOTHSCHILD from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, have been collected on poultry and in poultry houses. Capt. W. S. PATTON has had a number of specimens taken in India from the bat Scotophilus Kuhli and — according to 17*
