HARMOSTES. 167 
3. Harmostes formosus, n.sp. (Tab. XV. fig. 15.) 
Head ochraceous. Antenne with the basal joint very incrassate, dark ochraceous, and about reaching apex of 
head; second and third joints subequal in length, testaceous; apex of second joint fuscous; fourth joint 
short, a little longer than first, thickened and fuscous. Pronotum ochraceous, finely punctate and 
obscurely wrinkled, subgranulose near anterior margin, with the lateral angles rounded and strongly 
reflexed ; angular margins fuscous, lateral margins luteous and crenulated, anterior angles prominent; a 
central pale longitudinal line which is raised and levigate near anterior margin ; posterior margin narrowly 
pale luteous. Scutellum ochraceous, with a central longitudinal line and apical margin pale luteous. 
Corium luteous, sparingly and finely punctate (clavus thickly so), with a large, elongated, fuscous spot on 
disk, a row of small fuscous spots on costal margin, and a larger spot of the same colour near apical angle. 
Membrane pale hyaline, with obscure fuscous spots. Underside of body pale luteous, lateral margin of 
head and sternum strongly punctate; abdomen with a few scattered black punctures on anterior margin 
of disk, and stigmata black; femora luteous, with their apices, tibise, tarsi, and rostrum testaceous. 
Rostrum just passing posterior coxe, with the apex pitchy. Posterior femora with their apical halves 
strongly spined, four spines being longest, strongest, and luteous in colour. 
Long. 9 millim., lat. pronot. ang. 3 millim. 
Hab. Mrxico, Cuernavaca (Bilimek, Mus. Vind. Ces.). 
The strongly produced and reflexed lateral angles of the pronotum, and distinct 
colour and markings, will distinguish this species from the others which form that 
section of the genus in which the pronotal margins are crenulated. 
Note.—In the figure the basal joints of the antenne are incorrectly delineated as not 
reaching the apex of the head. 
b. Lateral margins of the pronotum not crenulated. 
a. Basal joint of the antenne extending considerably beyond the apex of the head. 
4. Harmostes subrufus, n.sp. (Tab. XV. fig. 16.) 
Head, pronotum, and scutellum luteous, sparingly but coarsely punctate. Antenne ochraceous; basal joint 
incrassated and considerably passing apex of head ; second joint a little shorter than third; fourth a little 
darker in colour, thickened, and about equal in length to first. Pronotum with the lateral angles rounded, 
subprominent, and slightly reflexed, a central longitudinal line and posterior margin narrowly pale luteous ; 
two obscure fuscous fascie near lateral margins. Scutellum with the lateral and apical margins and a central 
longitudinal line pale luteous. Corium testaceous, nervures and costal margins luteous. Membrane pale 
hyaline. Underside of body and legs luteous ; lateral margins of head and sternum strongly punctate. 
Long. 8 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Duefias (Champion). 
5. Harmostes bicolor, n. sp. (Tab. XV. fig. 17.) co 
Head testaceous, obscurely punctate. Antenne with the basal joint considerably passing the apex of head, and 
‘much shorter than second joint (remainder mutilated). Pronotum testaceous, coarsely punctate ; lateral 
margins, a central longitudinal line, and posterior margin (narrowly) pale luteous ; lateral angles sub- 
prominent. Scutellum testaceous, with the lateral and apical margins pale luteous. Corium pale luteous ; 
clavus, inner apical angles, and a series of small spots on costal margin testaceous. (In type specimen, 
described, the left corium has a large testaceous basal patch on lateral margin, which is followed by a 
subquadrate spot of the same colour.) Membrane pale hyaline. Underside of body pale greenish, with a 
few scattered black punctures; legs ochraceous. , 
Long. 7 millim.
