302 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
with a central ochraceous spot on each side; corium ochraceous, with a basal spot and a central trans- 
verse fascia, which at middle is continued posteriorly to base of membrane, black ; cuneus pale ochraceous ; 
membrane pale fuscous, with a large apical ochraceous spot; head and sternum beneath black, anterior 
margin of prosternum ochraceous; abdomen and legs ochraceous, the abdomen with some black basal 
spots (carded specimen). 
Long. 4 millim. 
Hab. Panama, David (Champion). 
PIRITHOUS, gen. nov. 
Body subovate, more or less gibbous, opaque, and pilose. Head somewhat tumid, anteriorly and vertically deflexed 
before the eyes, which are large and contiguous to the anterior margin of the pronotum. Antenne with © 
the first joint constricted at base and longer than head; second joint a little longer than the first; fourth 
a little longer than third. Pronotum punctate, tumidly convex at base and then deflected to head, with 
an obscure transverse anterior constriction, the basal margin convex, and not quite twice the width of 
anterior margin, the lateral margin oblique to the anterior constriction. Scutellum subtriangular, with a 
central longitudinal nodulose carination. Corium with the lateral margin widened towards cuneus, which 
“is almost as broad at base as long, with the fracture profound. Membrane considerably passing the apex 
of the abdomen. Rostrum about reaching the intermediate coxe. 
This genus is apparently allied to Dacota, Uhler, from which the structure of the 
antenne will at once separate it. 
1. Pirithous pallipes, n.sp. (Tab. XXIX. fig. 11.) 
Black, opaque, more or less covered with greyish pile; antenna pale stramineous, the third and fourth joints 
infuscated ; corium with a more or less distinct: castaneous tinge ; cuneus black; membrane pale hyaline, 
the cellular areas dark fuscous; body beneath black, covered with greyish pile; legs pale stramineous, 
the apices of the tarsi fuscous. - 
Long. 33 millim. 
Hab. Guatumata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
The three following genera I prefer at present to leave divisionally unattached. The 
two first, Eurotas and Lampethusa, seem to appertain to Reuter’s division Plagiognatharia ; 
but the third, Demarata, is distinct from any division which, so for as I know, has been 
proposed, and this distinctness is in the aberrant character of the antenne, which, taken 
alone, would even almost prevent it being classified in the family Capside. 
KUROTAS, gen. nov. 
Body somewhat elongately subovate, moderately deflexed, and shining. Head deflexed, compressed, and 
tapering before the eyes. Antenne inserted in front of the eyes, with the first joint a little longer than 
the head, very thickly incrassated and subnodulose ; second joint about half as long again as the first, its 
basal half slender, the apical half nodulosely incrassated ; third joint a little more than half the length of 
second, and moderately incrassated ; fourth joint about half the length of second, and robust. Pronotum 
somewhat triangular, the base moderately convexly tumid, the anterior margin with a very slender 
anterior collar, the basal margin about twice the width of anterior margin. Scutellum triangular, 
detached from pronotum, its apex acutely produced and with a transverse basal sulcation. Pronotum 
with the lateral margins not dilated, the cuneus elongately triangular. Rostrum about reaching the 
intermediate coxe.
