Of this species Stal remarks “ Quoad colores valde variabilis.” 
2. Banasa stalii, n. sp. (Tab. VIII. fig. 3.) 
Testaceous; strongly but somewhat sparingly punctate. Head with the central lobe and the apices of the 
lateral lobes impunctate ; lateral margins narrowly pitchy. Antenne pilose, luteous; third joint much 
longer than second, testaceous towards tip; fourth about equal in length to third and testaceous; fifth 
wanting. Rostrum about reaching posterior coxee, with the tip black. Pronotum with the anterior half. 
much paler in colour, the lateral margins slightly reflexed, posterior and darker portion rather more thickly 
punctate, lateral angles subprominent. Scutellum with the apex strongly excavated, extreme apical 
margin pale, impunctate. Corium with the basal margin narrowly pale luteous. Membrane obscure 
-hyaline, pitchy at base. Abdomen above pitchy; connexivum luteous, with the apical angle of each 
segment pitchy. Underside of body and legs luteous, 
Long. 13 millim., lat. pronot. angl. 7 millim. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Caché (Rogers). 
I submitted this specimen (one only) to the late Prof. Stal, the founder of the genus, 
and the keeper of the Rhynchotal portion of the Entomological collection of the 
Stockholm Museum ; otherwise I should have hesitated to describe this single example. 
However, as it has been compared by Stal with his types, and by myself with those of 
Dallas, there is no doubt of its nondescript character. Allied to B. varians, it is dis- 
tinguished from that species by its much more elongated form and not rounded but 
sinuated lateral margins of the pronotum.
