PCECILOCAPSUS. 275 
1. Pecilocapsus alacer. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 1.) 
Brachycoleus alacer, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 319. 243°. 
Pecilocapsus (Pecilocapsus) alacer, Reuter, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1875, p. 74. 
Hab. Mexico!; Guaremata, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
A typical specimen in the Stockholm Museum is here figured. 
The Guatemalan examples received from Mr. Champion are much more brightly 
coloured than the Mexican type; but, although the head is more distinctly red, the 
coxe are almost concolorous with the body. The antennz (not described by Stal) have 
the first joint blackish with its extreme base pale brownish, second joint pale brownish 
with the apical half blackish, third and fourth joints pale fuscous. 
2. Pecilocapsus agrarius, n. sp. 
Piceous; head, an irregular anterior transverse fascia to pronotum, basal margin (narrowly) of pronotum, 
lateral margins of corium and cuneus (broadly), apical half of membrane, tibis, and tarsi more or less 
brownish or ochraceous. 
Var. a. Pronotum (excluding base) brownish or ochraceous. 
Var. 6. Head, pronotum, and corium greenish ochraceous. 
Long. 6 millim. . 
Hab. GuatTEMata, Totonicapam (Champion). 
It is quite probable that this species may represent but varietal forms of the preceding 
P. alacer, Stal. The material now before me, however, does not allow me to adopt 
this conclusion. 
3. Pecilocapsus frumentarius, n. sp. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 12.) 
Bright ochraceous ; antenne, a broad arcuated fascia commencing at claval apex, and occupying inner apical 
margin of corium and part of inner margin of cuneus, basal half of membrane, and abdomen beneath black ; 
tibize fuscous, posterior tibiee with a broad basal ochraceous annulation. 
Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion). 
4. Pecilocapsus nigriger. (Tab. XXII. figs. 12 & 13, vars.) 
Brachycoleus nigriger, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 819. 244°. 
Pecilocapsus (Pecilocapsus) nigriger, Reut. Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1875, p. 74. 
Hab. Mexico ! (Deppe, Mus. Berol.). 
This species is subject to considerable variation in colour and markings. The colour 
varies from ochraceous to greenish, as the two specimens here figured sufficiently indi- 
cate. Fig. 13 represents a variety which apparently possesses the maximum in dark 
macular marking. In fig. 12 the submarginal black stripe to the lateral sides of the 
pronotum is absent, and the black fascize to the corium are attenuated; whilst in a 
specimen kindly forwarded to me by Dr. Signoret, the corium merely possesses a claval 
oblique fascia and two discal spots, being the “var. 6” as described by Stal.
