214 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
ochraceous, with a large, irregular, transverse black fascia, which is widest at inner angle, where it 
contains a small ochraceous spot, and a broad, black apical marginal fascia, which becomes suddenly 
attenuated as it approaches the central fascia. Membrane pale fuscous hyaline. Body beneath piceous, © 
posterior angles of metasternum pale ochraceous ; legs dull obscure ochraceous, intermediate and poste- 
rior femora more or less castaneous, apices of tarsi pitchy. 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Caldera (Champion). 
One specimen only of this species has been received from Mr. Champion. 
2. Neocattarus vegetus, n. sp. (Tab. XIX. fig. 20.) 
Head and pronotum dull opaque black ; head and anterior lobe of pronotum obscurely rugulose, posterior pro- 
notal lobe faintly but distinctly punctate; antenne pale castaneous, apices of second and third joints dark 
castaneous ; apical joint fuscous, with the base castaneous ; basal joint shortest, second and fourth subequal 
in length. Scutellum black, with the apex pale luteous. Clavus black, with the central portion ochra- 
ceous. Corium ochraceous, with two transverse black fascise, the first near centre of clavus, the second 
and broadest crossing corium at its inner angle, and there possessing a small ochraceous spot; and the 
apical margin broadly black, becoming attenuated towards inner angle. Membrane fuscous, with the base 
somewhat paler. Body beneath piceous, anterior lateral margins and posterior angles of metasternum 
pale ochraceous. Femora piceous, apices dull ochraceous; tibie piceous, with their extreme bases dull 
ochraceous ; tarsi ochraceous, with their apices pitchy. 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
This species is allied to V. firmus, from which it differs by the very different relative 
lengths of the antennal joints, the different colour of the posterior lobe of the pro- 
notum, &c. 
3. Neocattarus. vigens, n. sp. (Tab. XIX. figg. 21 & 22.) 
Head and anterior lobe of pronotum black ; posterior pronotal lobe castaneous, with its anterior lateral margins 
sometimes ochraceous. Antenne with the first three joints ochraceous and their apices stramineous, 
apical joint fuscous; the second joint subequal in length or a little longer than fourth, third a little 
shorter than fourth. Scutellum dark fuscous. Clavus castaneous. Corium ochraceous, with a few 
coarse scattered dark punctures; the claval and apical margins castaneous, broadest at inner and apical 
angles, with a whitish spot near inner angle; two oblong fuscous costal spots, one near base and the 
other about centre. Membrane fuscous, with the basal angle and apical margin very much paler. 
Anterior femora castaneous, with their apices ochraceous ; anterior tibis and tarsi and intermediate and 
posterior legs ochraceous, the intermediate and posterior femora broadly annulated with castaneous near 
their apices. Body beneath with the head and sternum piceous, the abdomen castaneous, posterior angles 
of metasternum pale ochraceous. 
The head and anterior lobe of the pronotum are obscurely rugulose, the posterior pronotal lobe distinctly and 
somewhat thickly punctate ; scutellum with a few scattered coarse punctures, the clavus coarsely punctate 
in linear series. 
Long. 33-4 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, San Gerénimo, Panima, Chiacaman, Cerro Zunil (Champion) ; 
Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
This species varies in size and hue, as the two figures here given sufficiently portray.
