270 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
I am quite unable to separate specifically the forms described above as appertaining 
to this species, which is apparently of a most protean character. 
PARAPROBA, gen. nov. 
Allied to Proba, but differing by the more elongate body; the margin of the corium not convex, but straight 
or slightly concavely sinuate; tibia non-setose; third and fourth joints of antenne together as long as 
second joint. 
1. Paraproba fasciata, n. sp. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 4.) 
Pale ochraceous ; eyes, antenne (excluding basal joint), a transverse fascia between the lateral angles of the 
pronotum, scutellum (excluding lateral margins and apex), and an inner claval fascia black ; claval sutural 
margins terminating and fusing in a transverse fuscous fascia to corium. Membrane pale fuscous, with 
the base and apex more or less pale ochraceous. Body beneath (carded specimen) with the posterior 
margin of prosternum, oblique lateral fasciee to meso- and metasternums, a marginal segmental row of 
spots to, and the apex of, the abdomen black. 
Var. a, Pronotum with an anterior narrow black fascia, the transverse fascia between the lateral angles 
replaced by two large lateral spots; scutellum ochraceous, the margins narrowly black. Avpices of posterior 
femora more or less fuscous. 
Var. 6. Head black, the lateral spots to pronotum (as in var. a) extending to near anterior margin. 
Var. c. Differing from var. 6 by having the scutellum wholly black. 
Long. 33-4 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaa, San Gerdnimo, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
This appears to be a variable species, but the general characters, and the colour 
markings of the antenne and membrane are always constant and distinctive. 
2. Paraproba pallescens, n. sp. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 5.) 
Pale ochraceous ; apex of the second joint of antenne and eyes black, two small discal spots to corium and 
cellular margins to membrane fuscous. Body beneath and legs pale ochraceous. 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab, GuateMaa, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
NEOPROBA, gen. nov. 
Allied to Paraproba, but differing in having the pronotum distinctly transversely constricted a little before middle ; 
antenne more robust, the first joint shorter than the head, second joint shorter than the third and fourth 
together ; tibie either obscurely or sometimes prominently setose. 
a. Tibie prominently setose. 
1. Neoproba rubescens, n. sp. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 6.) 
Pale reddish ochraceous and finely pilose; head ochraceous, with the eyes black; antenne with the basal joint 
black, its base and apex ochraceous, second joint ochraceous with its base black, third and fourth joints 
fuscous ; pronotum with the basal portion behind constriction generally paler and less reddish in hue; scu- 
-tellum with a pale lateral fascia on each side (not occupying basal angles nor reaching apex) ; membrane pale 
fuscous, the cellular margins reddish. Body beneath reddish ochraceous ; legs ochraceous, bases of posterior 
tibie narrowly fuscous. , 
Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Cerro Zunil (Champion).
