138 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
CATORHINTHA. 
Catorhintha, Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1859, p. 470; ib. 1867, p. 549. 
The area of this genus is both Nearctic and Neotropical, apparently extending from 
the southern portion of the first region to about the Amazonian subregion of the latter. 
The ocelli are separated from each other by about twice the distance that divides 
them respectively from the eyes; and near the last the head has a distinct callosity. 
The body is linear or suboblong.

Of this insect Prof. Uhler 4 remarks that Dr. Packard obtained it near Golden, Colo- 
rado, in July, but when he reached that locality in August he was unable to find speci- 
mens, and therefore thinks it likely that the season for its appearance was then over.

FICANA. 
Ficana, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 303 (1862); Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 548; En. Hem. i. 
p- 188 (1870). 
Ficana was founded for the reception of one Mexican species. It is closely 
allied to the preceding, as Stal observes, “ Hoc genus Catorhinthe est maxime affine, 
differt capite longiore, bucculis paullo brevioribus, rostro longiore, coxas posticas 
attingente.” It is at least doubtful whether the institution of this genus will prove 
of much classificatory value.
