Extract

A study of the genus Diaphnidia Uhler showed that D. debilis Uhler, the type of the genus, was markedly different and not congeneric with the five other species hitherto included. A new genus, Diaphnocoris, is described for four of these: pellucida Uhl. (type), capitata Van Duzee, crockeri Van Duzee, and provancheri Burque; the fifth species, heidemanni Knight, is considered to belong to Brachynotocoris Reuter. Following are descriptions of the three genera of this group as now considered.
