84 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
Hab. British Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaux); GuateMaLa, La Tinta, Tamahu, 
Pancina, and Chiacam (Champion). 
Differs from P. pustulatus, De Geer, by its more linear form, the head less cleft at 
the apex, the different markings above, and the abdomen not unicolorous beneath. It 
appears to be a rare insect, as we have only received a single example from each of the 
above localities. 
BOTHROCORIS. 
Brachystethus, subg. Bothrocoris, Mayr, Reis. Novara, Hem. p. 68 (1866). 
Bothrocoris, Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 582. 
Brachystethus, Dallas (part.), List Hem. i. p. 317. 4. 
This genus is only separated from the following by the shortness of the odoriferous 
apertures. The metasternum has a distinct keel, which is not emarginate anteriorly nor 
produced beyond the intermediate coxe. Stal writes “jugis et tylo eque longis.” I 
should rather state lateral lobes a little longer than central; and “angulis lateralibus 
thoracis haud productis” should rather be rendered ‘“‘not or but slightly produced.” 
This genus is a Neotropical one. Only one species has hitherto been described; a 
second is here added, which, though found in Central America, has also been received 
from Demerara. It is probably, from the habitats of the other species, more or less a 
Brazilian genus. 
1. Bothrocoris fusco-punctatus, n. sp. (Tab. VIII. fig. 5.) 
Ochreous, somewhat thickly covered with fuscous punctures. Head with the margins reflexed; lateral lobes 
4 little longer than the central, margined with luteous or sanguineous. Antenne with the first three 
‘ joints increasing successively in length, fourth and fifth subequal; first, second, and third joints ochreous, 
spotted with black ; fourth black; fifth black, with basal half luteous. Pronotum with the lateral angles 
obtusely prominent; lateral margins luteous or sanguineous ; and two waved black fascise on disk, a little 
behind anterior margin. Scutellum with two black deeply excavated fovez at base ; membrane ochraceous ; 
connexivum luteous, with the segmental, basal, and apical margins black. Underside of body and legs 
concolorous; marginal border of abdomen as above. 
Long. 11 millim., lat. pronot. ang. 74 millim. 
Hab. Panama (coll. Dist.)—Gutana, Demerara (coll. Dist.). 
Very distinct from B. quinquedentatus, Spin. Lateral angles of pronotum more 
produced, scutellum sinuated, &c. 
BRACHYSTETHUS. 
Edessa, subg. Brachystethus, Laporte, Ess. Hém. p. 63 (1832). 
Brachystethus, Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 532. 
Brachystethus (part.), Dallas, List Hem. i. p. 817. 4 (1851). 
This genus is separated from the preceding by the longer and more produced odori- 
ferous apertures. The species are all confined to Tropical America.
