PARACARNUS.—ANTA. . 289 
Beside the large size of this species, other structural characteristics are found in the 
length of the first and second joints of the antenne and the shortness of the third and 
fourth joints, which together are not more than a third of the length of the second 
joint. The transverse impression preceding the anterior collar of the pronotum is also 
very profound. 
PARACARNUS, gen. nov. 
Body elongate, convex, and shining. Head narrow, convex, and smooth. Eyes very large and long, but not 
exserted. Antenne with the basal joint about as long as the head; second joint about half as long again 
as the first, with its apex incrassated ; third and fourth together about equal in length to second. Pro- 
notum coarsely punctate, narrowly elongate, with a distinct anterior collar preceded by a broad transverse 
impression ; posterior margin truncate and about twice the width of anterior margin. Scutellum tumid, 
shining, and glabrous. Corium with the lateral margin slightly sinuate and convexly ampliated. Rostrum 
reaching the intermediate coxe. Tibi indistinctly setose or practically non-setose. 
1. Paracarnus elongatus, n.sp. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 25.) 
Head and pronotum pale ochraceous ; eyes black ; antennee pale ochraceous, apex of the second joint fuscous ; 
pronotum with a short roseate oblique fascia near lateral angles ; scutellum luteous and levigate; clavus 
reddish ochraceous, with an inner dark fuscous fascia, which is broadest at apex of scutellum ; corium 
pale hyaline, with the inner margin of embolium ochraceous, and with a large fuscous spot which extends 
from claval apex to and covering base of membrane, which is otherwise pale hyaline, with the cellular 
margins ochraceous; body beneath and legs ochraceous; posterior margins of meso- and metasternum, some 
abdominal markings (imperfectly seen, owing to specimen being carded), and a subapical annulation to 
intermediate and posterior femora pale sanguineous. 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Paxama, Bugaba (Champion). 
NEOCARNUS, gen. nov. 
Allied to Paracarnus, but with the first joint of the antenn considerably longer than the head and a little 
shorter than the second joint. Head a little broader, and eyes more removed from the anterior margin of 
the pronotum. Lateral angles of the pronotum distinctly subnodulose. Scutellum fumid, shining, and 
glabrous, but more triangular and the lateral margins less convex than in Paracarnus. Legs much 
longer ; tibie indistinctly setose or practically non-setose. 
1. Neocarnus vitreus. (Tab. XXIX. fig. 1.) 
Pale shining ochraceous ; antenne with the first and second joints ochraceous, the third and fourth creamy 
white; apices of the second, third, and fourth joints of the antenn, basal and lateral margins of scutellum, 
claval suture, apical margin of corium, inner cellular margins to membrane, and apices of tarsi fuscous or 
black ; eyes pale brownish ; scutellum shining luteous; lateral angles of the pronotum subnodulose and 
brownish. 
Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
ANTA, gen. nov. 
Body elongate and subovate, somewhat shining, the hemelytra semitransparent, the pronotum coarsely 
punctate. Head smooth and shining, vertically deflexed in front of the eyes. Antennze with the basal
