184 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
scutellum, outer, inner, and apical margins of clavus, lateral and apical margins and longitudinal veins to 
corium luteous. Membrane pale fuscous, with the veins much darker, and the apical margin somewhat 
broadly pale fuliginous. Sternum pale reddish fuscous; lateral margins, anterior margin of prosternum, 
posterior margins of pro-, meso-, and metasternum and coxe luteous. Abdomen generally pale reddish, 
sometimes dull ochraceous (if reddish, then apical segment dull ochraceous). Stigmata fuscous. Antenne 
pale fuscous; legs dull ochraceous. 
Long. 53 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, 2000-3000 feet (Champion). 
This species is allied to L. pallescens, Stal, and Z. obsoletus, Stal; from the first it 
differs by the pale veins to the corium, and from the second by the longitudinal pale 
fascia and different markings to the pronotum. 
22. Lygeus cruentatus, n.sp. (Tab. XVII. fig. 9.) 
Head pale luteous, ocelli red, eyes black, apex fuscous, from which two pale and obscure fuscous arcuated 
streaks extend backwards to ocelli. Pronotum ochraceous, posterior portion more or less fuscous, with 
the margins and a central longitudinal vitta pale luteous, and with two large transverse red fascie situated 
a little before anterior margin and on each side of central vitta. Scutellum fuscous, with a central 
longitudinal luteous fascia. Corium fuscous, the lateral margins broadly and the apical margins of clavus 
and corium very narrowly and indistinctly luteous. Membrane fuscous, with a broad, pale, central 
longitudinal fascia. Underside of body pale luteous, two red streaks on lateral margins of prosternum, a 
reddish spot on each lateral side of metasternum, and a longitudinal stigmatal fuscous line on each side of 
abdomen extending about halfway from base. Legs luteous, apices of femora, tibiee, and tarsi fuscous. 
Antenne fuscous. 
Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. Panama (coll. Dist.). 
23. Lygeeus venosus, n. sp. (Tab. XVI. fig. 18.) 
Lygeus poeyi, Guér., var. ? 
Pale stramineous. Head above ochraceous, with the ocelli, eyes, and a short central, longitudinal, apical fascia, 
widened transversely at its base, black. Pronotum with the lateral margins (broadest posteriorly), two 
transverse fascize near anterior margin, a central longitudinal line on posterior portion of disk, on each 
side of which is a broad fascia, in shape somewhat like a reversed letter L, pale fuscous, and with two 
waved lines situated at apices of these fascie black. Scutellum with basal margin and a T-shaped fascia 
near apex pale fuscous. Corium somewhat infuscated, with a lateral basal angle distinctly ochraceous, the 
veins and outer claval margin pale fuscous, and lateral and apical margins narrowly stramineous. 
Membrane pale fuscous, with the veins much darker. Underside of body pale stramineous; prosternum 
with a pale fuscous submarginal border, a transverse pale fuscous vitta on each side of pro-, meso-, and 
metasternum ; a submarginal red line on each side of abdomen, between which the segmental incisures - 
are also more or less red. Antenne and rostrum fuscous, the last reaching the posterior coxe. Legs 
pale stramineous beneath, and more or less pale fuscous above. 
Long. 6 to 7 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (Bilimek, Mus. Vind. Ces.); Guatumata, El Reposo (Cham- 
pion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, 2000-3000 feet (Champion). | 
Closely allied to the Cuban species, Z. poeyi, Guér,, of which it may be a variety. 
Stal, in his ‘ Hemiptera Mexicana,’ recorded that species from Mexico, but only gives 
the habitat Cuba in his subsequent ‘ Enumeratio’ (pt. iv.). The markings of the pro- 
notum are different from those of Guérin’s figure.
