subapical fascia to scutellum, two contiguous spots at base and apex of claval suture, and a broad

Hab. Guatemata, Totonicapam (Champion). 
7. lyygus inspersus, n. sp. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 8.) 
Pale greenish ochraceous; eyes and a number of minute spots irregularly scattered over the body, both above 
and beneath, fuscous. Legs and antenne (the last with the third and fourth joints mutilated) pale 
greenish ochraceous, apices of tarsi fuscous or black. 
Long. 6 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (Deppe, Mus. Berol.). 
8. Lygus scutellatus, n. sp. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 9, & var. fig. 18.) 
Pale ochraceous ; eyes, two small contiguous spots at base of pronotum, inner claval margins and sutures, a 
small spot near each inner angle of corium, and a large basal spot to membrane fuscous (sometimes 
reddish). Antenne black; base of first joint, a broad central annulation to second joint, and base of 
third joint ochraceous; scutellum pale shining greenish ochraceous. Head with a central longitudinal 
fascia and a marginal line in front of eyes; pronotum with two anterior linear spots, and scutellum with 
the base narrowly reddish. Body beneath pale ochraceous ; abdomen with a submarginal reddish fascia ; 
apces of tarsi and rostrum blac‘. 
Var. a. Pronotum with a broad subbasal fuscous fascia and the scutellum bright greenish. 
Long. 5 milllim. 
Hab. Muxico (Deppe, Mus. Berol.), Presidio and Milpas (forrer); Guatrma.a, San 
Gerénimo (Champion). 
9. Lygus cristatus, n. sp. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 10.) 
Closely allied to the preceding species, but differing by the scutellum possessing a broad central longitudinal 
reddish-brown fascia and a longitudinal spot at each inner angle of corium; the clavus is sometimes 
totally reddish brown (as in the specimen figured), or with its inner margin and suture only of that 
colour, as in L. scutellatus. The general colour varies from pale greenish to ochraceous. 
Long. 5 millim.

A Mexican specimen is here figured. 
PCECILOCAPSUS. 
Pecilocapsus, Reuter, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Forh. 1875, p. 78. 
In this genus the body is glabrous and obsoletely and minutely punctured, the 
second joint of the antenne being distinctly incrassated. 
Dr. Reuter has divided his genus into two subgenera—Pecilocapsus and Metrior- 
rhynchus, the first of which is, according to our present knowledge, alone represented 
in this fauna. Its characteristics consist in having the basal joint of the antenne not. 
longer than the head, and the rostrum not passing the anterior coxe.
