OFELLUS.—RESTHENIA. 251 
slender, the third almost twice as long as the fourth. Pronotum punctate, with the anterior margin 
convexly rounded and about half as broad as the posterior, which is truncate, but oblique towards the 
lateral angles, which are rounded and non-prominent; anterior area somewhat gibbous, with a raised 
central carination and two transverse incisions. Scutellum with a central longitudinal incision. Corium 
obscurely punetate, the lateral margins subparallel. Cuneus longer than broad. Membrane mutilated. 
1. Ofellus prestans, n. sp. (Tab. XXV. fig. 11.) 
Tawny brown and finely pilose, the apical half of the corium somewhat paler. A large subquadrate spot at 
base of pronotum and abdomen beneath pale sanguineous. Eyes black. Membrane, tarsi, apex of second

Division LOPARIA. 
Loparia, Reuter, Bih. Vet.-Ak. Handl. iii: 1, p. 6 (1875); Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1875, no. 9, p. 63. 
The characters relied upon by Dr. Reuter for the maintenance of this division are 
the following :—‘‘ Caput semper verticale, vertice lato et genis altis, antenne autem 
seepe in speciebus Americanis ad oculorum marginem interiorem inserte. Pronotum 
lateribus a latere visis saltem acutis, apice strictura apicali bene discreta vel saltem 
margine apicali reflexo. Hemelytra furca cubiti semper discreta, cuneo elongato- 
triangulari. Ale hamo nullo. Arolia divaricata, magna. Species perplures rufo- 
variegatie.”’ 
RESTHENTA. 
Resthenia, Spinola, Ess. Hém. p. 184 (1840) ; A. & 8. Hist. des Hém. p. 280 (1843). 
This genus consists of a number of well-marked and easily recognized species, which 
the sectional characters here used will better assist to elucidate than any attempt at an 
abstract diagnosis. 
Resthenia is quite confined to the Nearctic and Neotropical Regions, and almost ex- 
clusively to the warmer portions of those regions. 
Found resting upon leaves in the forest (Champion). 
A. Lateral margins of the pronotum acute, anteriorly subreflected. Rostrum usually not 
quite reaching the intermediate core, basal joint generally slightly passing base of 
head. Tibie densely pilose. Subg. Cauuicuita, Reut. 
1. Resthenia plagigera. (Tab. XXIV. fig. 18.) 
Resthenia plagigera, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 316. 2383+.
