262 - HEMIPTERA-~-HETEROPTERA. : 
phases, both in colour and markings, that can be observed in the series of specimens now 
before me, and this irrespective of local habitats to which they do not appear to be con- 
fined, save and except that var. ¢ is represented alone by three specimens from Panama. 
6. Compsocerocoris mistus, n. sp. (Tab. XXV. fig. 15.) 
Allied to typical forms of the last species, but larger, and also differing in having the antenne: (excluding the 
basal joint) black, the bases of the second and third joints being narrowly pale ochraceous, the basal joint 
ochraceous, spotted and annulated with blackish, the lateral margins of the pronotum broadly blackish, &c. 
Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo, Totonicapam (Champion). 
TALDIA, gen. nov. 
Allied to Compsocerocoris, but more robust, the posterior femora shorter and much more incrassated, the pos- 
terior tibiz distinctly curved. Antenne with the basal joint about equal to the length of the pronotum 
and half the length of the head together, incrassated, pilose, and faintly but distinctly nodulated at the 
extreme apex; second joint not quite twice the length of the first, its apical half incrassated ; third and 
fourth extremely slender. Rostrum reaching the intermediate cox. Pronotum long, anteriorly depressed, 
about twice as broad at lateral angles as at anterior margin. Scutellum large, about subequal in length 
to pronotunt, the lateral angles slightly convex, the disk distinctly and longitudinally depressed and foveate, 
thus rendering the lateral margins broadly and roundly subgibbous. Body pilose. 
1. Tedia bimaculata, n. sp. (Tab. XXV. fig. 16.) 
Head ochraceous, eyes black; antennz with the first joint ochraceous, the second fuscous, with the base ochra- 
ceous, third pale fuscous, with the base greyish white; pronotum pale brownish, speckled with ochraceous, 
with a central and two lateral ochraceous fascize and with two transverse black spots on disk; scutellum 
and corium pale brownish speckled with ochraceous, the first with a central longitudinal narrow ochraceous 
fascia ; cuneus paler than the corium, with its apex black ; membrane pale smoky hyaline. Body beneath 
and legs ochraceous; sternum and abdomen with a lateral series of blackish spots (three on sternum), and 
those on abdomen gradually decreasing in size towards apex ; apices of tarsi fuscous. 
Long. 73-8 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
NEUROCOLPUS. 
Neurocolpus, Reuter, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1875, no. 9, p. 69. 
The antenne are the most striking features in this genus; the basal joint is distinctly 
shorter than the pronotum, but very strongly incrassated, and, in the species here 
referred to, subnodulose at apex; it is also densely setose, the apices of the sete being 
dilated ; the second joint is twice as long as the first, with its apex strongly incrassated ; 
and the third and fourth joints together are shorter than the second. 
1. Neurocolpus mexicanus, n. sp. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 5.) 
Ochraceous, thickly pilose ; antenne with the apex of the second joint broadly fuscous, the third fuscous with 
the base ochraceous; margins of the lateral angles of pronotum slightly fuscous; scutellum more or less - 
infuscated ; inner claval margin and two discal but broken transverse fascie to corium (one near base and
