Hab. GuatEeMa.a, near the city, San Gerénimo, Capetillo, Las Mercedes (Champion).

pale markings to posterior lobe of pronotum, different colour of the legs and antenna, 
somewhat larger size, &c. 
2. Hereeus percultus, n. sp. (Tab. XIX. fig. 10.) 
Head, pronotum, and scutellum black; the base of the posterior lobe of pronotum marked with four obscure 
ochraceous spots, two smallest and central, and one near each lateral angle much larger. Corium pale 
ochraceous, with a transverse fascia on disk which is widest anteriorly, and a large subquadrate spot at 
apical angle black. Membrane obscure hyaline, the veins pale ochraceous. Antenne with the basal 
joint (excluding apex) and the apical joint fuscous; apex of first, and the second and third joints 
ochraceous. Anterior femora black, with their apices ochraceous; anterior tibiae and intermediate and 
posterior legs pale ochraceous ; apices of anterior tibis and an annulation near apices of intermediate and 
posterior femora fuscous. Body beneath black; rostrum with the basal joint brownish, second joint 
pale ochraceous (remainder mutilated). Anterior femora strongly spinous beneath; posterior lobe of 
pronotum very coarsely punctate and very slightly paler in hue than the anterior lobe. Clavus with

Orthea ? guttata, Dall. List Hem. ii. p. 580. 2°.

The Guatemalan specimens are of a more melanic pattern than the type specimen 
in the British Museum. 
4. Herzus illitus, n. sp. 
Closely allied to H. guttata, Dall., but differing in having the head more distinctly exserted and constricted at 
base, the postocular portion of the head being slightly longer than the anteocular, the anterior femora 
brown, and with their apices pale. Antenne with the apical joint pale stramineous, the apical half fuscous.
