Chiriqui, 2000-3000 feet (Champion)—CotomBia (Mus. Vind. Ces.) ; VENEZUELA, La

5. Myodocha inermibus. (Tab. XVIII. fig. 23.) 
Head and anterior lobe of pronotum black, the last with the lateral margins and a central longitudinal line 
pale obscure greyish ; posterior lobe of pronotum and corium pale castaneous. Oorium with a small 
spot near apex of clavus, apical angle and a transverse fascia near apex ochraceous. Scutellum castaneous, 
black at base. Membrane pale fuscous, with the basal half black, and with a curved ochraceous basal 
fascia. Legs ochraceous, apical halves of femora pale castaneous. Antenne with the basal and apical 
joints fuscous, the last with the apex ochraceous ; second and third joints ochraceous, third with the apical 
half fuscous. Head beneath and sternum black ; body castaneous. The posterior lobe of the pronotum, 
base and lateral margin of the scutellum, and clavus coarsely punctate; the corium is longitudinally and 
submarginally punctured ; and the anterior femora are unarmed. 
Long. 9 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, 2500-4000 feet (Champion). 
The unarmed femora render this species very distinct. One specimen only has been 
sent home by Mr. Champion. 
HERALUS. 
Hereus, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 314, not. (1862) ; Hem. Afr. ii. p. 153 (1865) ; En. Hem. 
iv. p. 144 (1874). 
Hereus differs from Myodocha in not having the long cylindrical neck ; and the post- 
ocular and anteocular portions of the head are subequal in length. Its distribution, 
like that of the preceding genus, is apparently confined to the Nearctic and Neotropical 
Regions. |
