32 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
7. Oplomus mundus. (Tab. IV. fig. 17.) 
Oplomus mundus, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 87. 24°; En. Hem. i. p. 30. 87. 
Hab. Muxico1? (Hope coll. Mus. Oxford). 
A specimen of this species in the Hope collection at Oxford has the apex of the 
scutellum as well as the basal spots red. The figure is from the type in the collection 
of Dr. Signoret. 
/ 
C. Scutellum passing in length the apical angle of corium; anterior tibie distinctly 
punctured on upper surface. (Subg. Stictocnemus, Stal.) 
8. Oplomus mutabilis. (Tab. IIT. figg. 16 & 19.) 
Oplomus mutabilis, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 87. 25}. 
Oplomus (Stictocnemus) mutabilis, Stal, En. Hem. pt. 1, p. 80. 9’. 
Hab. Mzxico!? (coll. Sign.). 
Two varieties of this species are figured; and doubtless greater variation exists. It 
is at once separated from the following species by the emarginated lateral borders of 
the pronotum. The humeral breadth of the pronotum is twice that of its central 
longitudinal diameter. 
9. Oplomus proteus. (Tab. I. fig. 17, Tab. III. figg. 15 & 17.) 
Oplomus proteus, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 88. 267. 
Oplomus (Stictocnemus) proteus, Stal, En. Hem. pt. 1, p. 80. 10’. 
Platynopus conspersus, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 123. 3°. 
Hab. Mexico1?3 (Mus. Berol., Hope coll. Mus. Oxford); GuateMaua, Duefias, 
Capetillo (Champion). 
The variation of this species is uniform in its character with that of the other 
members of the genus. The three forms figured as above embrace the principal 
characters of the species. 
HETEROSCELIS. 
Heteroscelis, Latreille, Fam. du Régn. An. p. 419 (1825) ; Régn. An. v. p. 194 (1829) ; Lap. Ess. 
Hém. p. 86 (1832); Stal, En. Hem. i. p. 31 (1870). 
Phyllocheirus, Spin. Ess. Hém. p. 806 (1887). 
Phyllochirus, A. & 8. Hist. des Hém. p. 80 (1843); Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 496. 
Agerrus, Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Forh. 1858, p. 434. 
Bodetria, Walk. Cat. Het. Hem. i. p. 119 (1867). 
This genus can be easily distinguished from the preceding by the length of the head, 
which is about equal to that of the pronotum. The pronotum has also the lateral 
angles produced.
