292 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
NEOFURIUS, gen. nov. 
Body broad, subovate, more or less pilose, but corium always distinctly and sometimes strongly pilose. Head 
short and broad, deflexed before the eyes, which are contiguous to the anterior margin of the pronotum. 
Antenne with the basal joint about as long as the head, second joint about half as long again as the first ; 
third and fourth together a little longer than second. Pronotum punctate, with an anterior collar preceded 
by a broad transverse constriction ; posterior margin truncate, sometimes slightly concave (oblique at 
lateral angles), and more than twice or sometimes nearly three times the width of anterior margin. 
Scutellum moderately small and subtriangular, with the apex more or less acute. Corium broad, the lateral 
margins dilated and convex; fracture of cuneus profound. Rostrum about reaching the intermediate 
coxe; legs always more or less pilose. 
Mr. Champion found all the species of this genus by beating and sweeping low 
plants. I have here described sixteen species, and it is probably a most prolific Neo- 
tropical genus. It is found alike in the lowlands, and one species (NV. affinis) at as 
high an altitude as 8000 feet. 
1. Neofurius villosus, n. sp. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 13.) 
Reddish ochraceous ; apex of head, eyes, and scutellum black ; antennz ochraceous, base and apex of first joint, 
second joint excluding base, and the fourth joint fuscous or black; membrane pale brownish, the basal 
half fuscous ; body beneath (carded specimen) blackish; legs pale ochraceous. 
The pronotum is somewhat coarsely punctate ; the clavus thickly and finely punctate, and with the corium 
finely pilose. 
Long. 43 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
2. Neofurius variabilis, n. sp. 
Pale ochraceous ; apical half of second joint of antenne, eyes, a large cordate spot to pronotum, two basal 
angular spots to scutellum, clavus, and a broad central fascia to corium (not reaching lateral margins) 
black ; the black markings to pronotum and corium more or less margined with pale sanguineous, especially 
the central fascia to corium, which is thus continued to lateral margin; body beneath and legs pale 
ochraceous, apices of posterior femora frequently pale sanguineous. 
Var. a. Anarcuated fascia to pronotum, clavus, and the whole of the transverse fascia to corium. dull sanguineous. 
Var. 6. Resembling var. a, but the pronotum wholly pale ochraceous, without spot or fascia. 
Var. c. Resembling typical forms of the species, but with the basal joint of the antenne sanguincous, and 
with a transverse black line across centre of pronotum. 
Var. d. Resembling var. c, but with the black markings of the pronotum and corium pale and dull reddish. 
Long. 43 millim. 
Hab. Guatema.a, San Gerénimo, Cerro Zunil (Champion) ; Panama, Bugaba, David, 
Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
In this variable species the black spots to the scutellum are (in the series now before 
me) always constant; and the same remark applies to the black apex of the second 
joint of the antenne. 
8. Neofurius auratus, n. sp. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 14.) 
Head, antenne, pronotum, scutellum, and corium ochraceous ; cuneus pale hyaline; second joint of antenne, 
eyes, two discal spots to corium, inner claval margins, an oblique spot about centre of corium, and inner
