third fuscous with the base ochraceous, fourth fuscous; eyes fuscous; corium with obsolete trans-

tarsi ochraceous, apices of tarsi and base of posterior tibize fuscous. 
Var. a. Posterior area of pronotum and scutellum thickly speckled with fuscous.

I have considerable doubt as to this being a distinct speeies from the preceding, and 
think it possible that it may be included in some varietal forms of the same. However, 
it is smaller in size, and the colour-differences are considerable. The difficulty in the 
way of a decision arises from the fact of the type and sole representative of V. mewica- 
nus being somewhat mutilated, and thus a series of Mexican specimens may probably 
prove the two forms here described as distinct species to be but varietal forms of only 
one. 
PARACALOCORIS, gen. nov. 
Body above distinctly pilose. Antennze with the basal joint incrassated, shorter than the pronotum, thickly 
clothed with fine long hairs ; second joint about twice as long as first, its apex distinctly incrassated ; third 
and fourth slender, and together subequal to or longer than the second ; fourth a little longer than the third. 
Pronotum distinctly subgibbous and convex at base, the width at posterior angles being about three times 
that of anterior margin. Rostrum reaching the intermediate coxe. Other characters as in Calocoris. 
Pronotum generally with two discal subexcavated spots. 
A. Pronotum with two prominent and subexcavated black discal spots. 
1. Paracalocoris jurgiosus. (Tab. XXV. fig. 17.) 
Calocoris jurgiosus, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 320. 246°. 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Sign.); Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
A Guatemalan specimen is here figured, which exactly agrees with the Mexican type 
in the collection of Dr. Signoret. In the original description of this species the two 
prominent, though small, discal black spots to the pronotum apparently escaped. notice.
