Abstract
Several years ago, during a study of certain Coreidae in the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, it became evident to me that the original description by Stal (1862) of Mozena nestor and the colored figure of Stal's type given by Distant (1881) could not be reconciled with Texas specimens labeled nestor by J. R. de la Torre-Bueno in 1920 or 1921 and running to that species in his Synopsis (1941). These specimens seemed, instead, to represent an undescribed species. Correspondence with Dr. R. I. Sailer revealed that both he and Mr. H. G. Barber had independently recognized this new species in the U. S. National Museum collections. Dr. Sailer has most generously forwarded the specimens from that Museum to me for study, and they are included among the paratypes listed below.
