COLORATION: Greyish-brown to black. Anteocular lobe dark reddish-brown to brownish-black, variable yellowish-brown areas usually present dorsolaterally anterior to compound eyes, dorsally and medially at antennal bases, and on lateral and ventral surfaces. Postocular lobe dark reddish-brown with lighter areas between ocelli and compound eyes, along mid-dorsal line, longitudinally on lateral and ventral surface. Labium reddish-brown to brownish-black with anterior surface of segment I lighter in color, yellowish-brown to reddish-brown. Antennal segments I and II reddish-brown, outer dorsolateral surface of I darker, especially near base, base and apex of II darker, segments III and IV yellowish-brown to reddish-brown. Anterior pronotal lobe reddish-brown to brownish-black, occasionally with variable lighter areas, especially near margins, lateral surface reddish-brown to brownish-black, usually lighter ventrally. Posterior pronotal lobe reddish-brown to brownish-black with dark yellowish-brown posterior margin and/or darker reddish-brown to brownish-black apices on lateral and dorsal processes. Scutellum variably yellowish-brown to brownish-black, usually with lighter apex. Legs yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, usually with variable darker reddish-brown spots or bands, especially near dorsal surfaces of femoral apices. Hemelytron brown to dark brown, veins in area anterior to basal and discal cells lighter. Abdomen variable, dark yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, darker areas usually at posterior of segments of connexivum and mid-laterally at anterior of segments 3-7. Abdomen yellowish-brown with variable reddish-brown areas on lateral and posterior margins and posterior surface. VESTITURE: Moderately setose. Short recumbent and short to long erect setae, many specimens covered with white waxlike exudation. Anteocular lobe with short recumbent setae on entire surface, longer erect setae on tylus and ventral surface; postocular lobe with short recumbent setae over entire surface, moderate to long erect setae on posterodorsal and ventral surfaces. Entire surface of anterior pronotal lobe with short recumbent and erect setae, confined to setal tracts dorsally, longer erect setae laterally; posterior lobe with short recumbent setae over surface, some long erect setae laterally; scutellum setae short, recumbent to semi-erect. Corium and clavus with short, recumbent setae. Abdominal dorsum with sparse short erect setae, remainder of surface with short recument and sparse moderate erect setae.

Eye moderately sized; lateral margin only slightly wider than margin of postocular lobe; dorsal and ventral margins removed from surfaces of head. Labium: I: II: III = 1: 2.3: 0.4. Basiflagellomere diameter larger than that of pedicel. Thorax: Anterolateral angle rounded, without projection; medial longitudinal sulcus shallow near collar, deepening posteriorly. Posterior pronotal lobe with finely rugulose surface; disc slightly elevated above humeral angle; humeral angle armed, with short tuberculate processes. Scutellum moderately long; apex angulate, very slightly projected upward. Legs: Slender. Hemelytron: Surpassing apex of abdomen by about length of abdominal segment seven; quadrate cell small and slender; Cu and M of cubital cell subparallel. GENITALIA: (Fig. 191) Pygophore: Ovoid; not expanded laterally in dorsal view. Medial process broadly triangular; very short; semi-erect; straight; apex in posterior view blunt, without modification. Paramere: Cylindrical; short, not reaching apex of medial process; directed posteriad; nearly straight; apical part enlarged. Phallus: Dorsal phallothecal sclerite somewhat ovoid; apical portion of phallothecal sclerite not distinctly tapered, slightly convex; apex medially notched, degree and shape variable; posterior margin of foramen nearly straight to broadly concave. Struts attached to dorsal phallothecal sclerite; apically separate, connected by bridge; basally fused. Basal plate arm slender; separate; subparallel; in lateral view very slightly curved; bridge long; extension of basal plate small and confined to apex of basal plate arm.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="2275FB8FB9F3D772739F89D6EC7D07C0" pageId="0" pageNumber="8150">Female: (Fig. 190b, c) Similar to male, except for the following. Larger than male, total length 13.22-15.63 mm (mean 14.43 mm, Suppl. material 2). Often darker than male. Tuberculate processes of posterior pronotal lobe usually more pronounced, apex often produced. Mid femur slightly swollen on central 1/4, pro- and mesofemoral diameters subequal, about 1.4-1.5x diameter of hind femur. Hemelytron attaining apex of abdomen.</paragraph>

is a rather widely distributed species, found nearly throughout North America, ranging from southern Canada to parts of Central America. A few records are from Brazil and Paraguay. As the collecting events of these specimens are unrelated, it is highly unlikely these specimens are mislabelled (unless they were each independently mislabelled, which is not likely). Further investigations should examine if the South Amerian populations are native or introduced.
