Hab. Norta America, Carolina 1.—MeExico 2, 
This species is here included on the authority of St&l? alone, as I have seen it in no 
Mexican collection which I have examined. 
2. Arhaphe cicindeloides. (Tab. XXI. fig. 2.)

JAPETUS. 
Head regularly circular and globose, convex above, and subconvex beneath, considerably wider than pronotum ; 
eyes large and globose, situate about the centre of each lateral margin. Pronotum subequal in length to 
head, anterior lobe longest and subglobose. Scutellum slightly gibbous. Body linear; corium and 
membrane much abbreviated. Rostrum reaching anterior coxe. 
This genus is allied to Arhaphe, but differs by the elongate and linear body, the 
circular and globose head, &c. 
1. Japetus spheroides, n.sp. (Tab. XXI. fig. 3.) 
Black, sparingly but distinctly pilose; corium warm ochraceous, membrane greyish with a large apical 
fuscous spot. 
Antennz with the first and fourth joints subequal in length, second a little longer than third, which is 
shortest ; head coarsely punctate ; pronotum with a deep and broad impression separating the anterior 
and posterior lobes, the last of which is anteriorly depressed and coarsely punctate. Scutellum coarsely 
punctate. Corium reaching the third abdominal segment; membrane extending only to the fourth 
abdominal segment. Anterior femora subprominently spined beneath near apex. 
Long. 9 millim. 
Hab, GuateMata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
One specimen only of this extraordinary genus and species has been received from 
Mr. Champion. 
Subfam. PYRRHOCORINA.

The Pyrrhocorine were separated by St&l from the Largine on the character of the 
sixth ventral segment, which is entire in both sexes. 
Only two genera found in America are comprised in this subfamily, which is princi- 
pally and most characteristically represented in the eastern tropics, its geographical 
distribution thus being in contrast with that of the Largine.
