FICANA.—ANASA. . 139 
A Mexican specimen is figured, contained in the collection of the Berlin Museum, 
and represents the typical form of the species, in which the last joint of the 
antenne is luteous. To this was attached the MS. name indagator. A varietal form, 
however, seems most abundant, in which the apical joint of the antenne has only the 
apex luteous. This form is also contained in the Berlin Museum, and was sent to me 
labelled scrutator. 
CIMOLUS. 
Cimolus, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 802 (1862); Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 548; En. Hem, 
i. p. 188, note (1870). 
Cimolus differs at once from the two preceding genera by the more ovate body. The 
rostrum is short, scarcely passing the anterior coxe, the first joint being only about half 
the length of the head. It is very closely allied to the following genus (Anasa). Two 
species are at present recorded—one from the Nearctic Region, the other from Central 
America. 
1. Cimolus vitticeps. (Tab. XIII. fig. 22.) 
Cimolus vitticeps, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxxiii. p. 302. 174°; En. Hem. i. p. 189. 1’. 
Hab. Mexico 12 (Sichel, Mus. Vind. Cos.), Orizaba (Bilimek, Mus. Vind. Ces.) ; 
British _Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaux); GuaTEMaLa, Zapote, Senahu, Las Mercedes 
(Champion). 
This species differs much in the shade of coloration, some specimens, especially those 
from Guatemala, being almost black above; these have also the lateral margins of the 
pronotum less denticulated. This last character is not, however, sufficiently uniform to 
warrant me in considering it specific, the difficulty being increased by one female 
Guatemalan specimen having the rostrum a little longer than is usual in the genus, 
while it differs in no other respect from other specimens of this species. 
The specimen figured is a typical Mexican one in the collection of Dr. Signoret. 
ANASA.

Lagaria, Dallas, List Hem. ii. p. 442 (1852). 
This genus principally differs from the preceding by the greater length of the rostrum, 
the first joint of which reaches, or nearly reaches, the base of the head. Its area extends 
from the southern portion of the Nearctic, throughout the whole Neotropical Region. 
It is well represented in Central America.
