COMPSOCEROCORIS. 
Compsocerocoris, Reuter, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1875, no. 9, p. 70. 
The principal characteristics of this genus appear to be the central basal sulcation to 
the head, the length of the antenne (as long as the body), with the basal joint slightly 
incrassated and about equalling in length that of the pronotum and half of the head 
together, and the lateral angles of the pronotum obtusely acute. This genus was 
founded by Dr. Reuter for the reception of a Texan species. 
Of similar habits to the European genus Phytocoris and obtained by beating 
(Champion). . 
1. Compsocerocoris exustus, n. sp. 
Ochraceous, mottled with pale brownish; pronotum with four black spots on basal margin; scutellum with 
two similar spots near apex, and three or four small brownish spots arranged on inner margin of cuneus, 
and one very small and obscure on each inner margin of corium near apex. Antenne ochraceous, with 
the basal joint strongly setose and obscurely annulated with brownish at middle and apex; second joint 
with the apex fuscous, middle of the second joint and base of the third greyish. Cuneus somewhat paler 
than the corium. Membrane mottled with brownish. Femora ochraceous, annulated with brownish ; 
fore and intermediate tibie with three distinct dark fuscous annulations ; posterior tibie with similar 
but very obscure annulations and longly and palely setose. Body beneath (carded specimen) ochraceous 
and more or less mottled as above. Two elongate fuscous spots near lateral margins of prosternum, and 
one at lateral margins of mesosternum. 
Long. 74 millim. 
Hab. GuateMALA, Quezaltenango (Champion). 
2. Compsocerocoris dubitatus, n. sp. (Tab. XXV. fig. 12.) 
Allied to the preceding species, but differing in the following particulars:—The pronotum is marked with a broad, 
central, longitudinal pale fascia, the eyes are dark fuscous, the second and third joints of the antenne are 
concolorous and without the pale and dark markings; euneus much paler, and membrane much darker. 
Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. GuaTeMALA, Quiche Mountains (Champion). 
It is with some doubt that I have described this form as a distinct species, though 
the markings are very divergent. Dr. Reuter has not stated that sexual differences of 
this nature are found in the genus, and we have received but a single specimen from 
Mr. Champion, and therefore cannot decide as to the sexual problem. 
3. Compsocerocoris vilis, n. sp. (Tab. XXV. fig. 13.) 
Ochraceous ; basal joint of antennee much mottled and annulated with brown, the apex somewhat reddish ; 
some spots within the anterior and posterior margins of eyes, four longitudinal fascia to pronotum, which 
become somewhat macular at anterior and posterior margins, two spots to scutellum, a series of inner and 
outer claval spots, and three spots to cuneus, situate at basal angles and apex, reddish ochraceous. FFemora 
ochraceous, mottled with brownish ; the posterior femora with some obscure reddish annulations; tibiw 
ochraceous, somewhat darker at bases and apices. Body beneath ochraceous, with reddish linear markings. 
Long. 53 millim.
