198 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
meso-, and metasternum, and abdomen black. Acetabula, coxa, and legs ochraceous. Rostrum 
ochraceous, narrowly black at base (apical portion mutilated). Antenne with the second and third 
joints distinctly pilose; eyes very large and prominent, most strongly directed outwards at posterior 
margin. Pronotum with a double row of coarse punctures near anterior margin, and with about basal half 
also strongly punctate, less prominently so at lateral margins. Scutellum coarsely punctate ; three longi- 
tudinal series of punctures at claval area, and a number of scattered coarse punctures on disk of corium. 
Long. 4 millim.

The specimen figured is an example received from Duefias, Guatemala, which appa- 
rently agrees in every respect with Stal’s description.

The markings of the pronotum in this species are of an extremely variable character, 
which my examination of a typical specimen in the Berlin Museum, and a long series 
of specimens from Guatemala, abundantly testifies. Fieber’s type, or typical specimen, 
which I have been afforded an opportunity of examining, agrees more closely with my 
fig. 16, which, with fig. 15, may be taken as representative of the extreme varietal 
forms. The course of this variation appears to extend from specimens in which the 
disk of the pronotum is almost wholly black, with a small luteous fascia both on 
anterior and posterior margins, through others in which these paler fasciee are increased 
anteriorly and posteriorly till they meet and thus form one continuous and dividing 
longitudinal fascia.

This appears to be the form described under the name of O. lumiger by Fieber?,
