MORMIDEA. 55 
The M. inermis, Dall., is but the varietal form common to the genus, in which the 
pronotal angles are non-spinous. 
4. Mormidea angustata. (Tab. V. fig. 10.) 
Mormidea angustata, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 102. 69'; En. Hem. ii. p. 20. 6. 
Hab. Mexico’ (coll. Signoret). 
5. Mormidea pictiventris. (Tab. V. fig. 11.) 
Mormidea pictiventris, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 103. 72'; En. Hem. ii. p. 20. 7°. 
Hab. Mexico}? (Mus. Berol. et coll. Signoret); GuateMaLa, San Gerénimo (Cham- 
pion); Nicaragua, Chontales (coll. Dist.)—CotomBia?; CuBa?. 
In the Berlin Museum are two varieties of this species in which the luteous markings 
above are very faint and obscure. 
6. Mormidea levigata, n. sp. (Tab. VII. fig. 3.) 
Above bronzy, shining, somewhat coarsely punctate. Pronotum with the lateral margins, an arcuated narrow 
transverse fascia between lateral angles, a large A-shaped mark on anterior margin; scutellum with a 
central basal spot, and lateral and apical margins, corium with a discal spot situated about one third from 
apex, levigate luteous. The fore part of the pronotum in front of the transverse fascia is also sparingly 
levigate and luteous. 
Underside of the body luteous ; sternum, excepting lateral margins, which are levigate, strongly punctured with 
bronzy green; abdomen with a broad submarginal border of dark punctures, and a central castaneous 
fascia, narrowing to apex, and containing three luteous spots, segmentally divided ; legs croceus, antennse 
fuscous, with the first and second joints luteous. 
Long. 6 millims. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Berol.). 
Allied to MW. croceipes, H.-S., but differs by the levigate surface-markings, anterior 
portion of thorax and head distinctly and strongly deflexed, lateral margins of pronotum 
straight, lateral angles neither rounded nor prominent. 
7. Mormidea notulata. (Tab. V. fig. 12.) 
Pentatoma notulatum, Herrich-Schaffer, Wanz. Ins. vii. p. 100. f. 765°. 
Mormidea notulata, Dall. List Hem. i. p. 218. 7?; Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 20. 11°; Walk. Cat. Het. 
ii. p. 253. 54. 
Rhaphigaster discoideus, Dall. List Hem. i. p. 290. 47°. 
Mormidea discoidea, Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 255. 23; Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 20. 12°. 
Hab. Mexico 12346 (Mus. Berol., coll. Sign.), Mirador (Bilimek ; Mus. Vind. Ces.), 
Oaxaca‘ (Mus. Berol.); Guaremata (Salvin & Godman), San Ger6nimo (Champion) ; 
Costa Rica, Cache (Rogers). 
This species not only conforms to the generic varietal character of differentiation in 
the produced lateral pronotal angles, but also varies in the colour of the second joint
