CYRTASPIS (p. 12). 
2. Cyrtaspis trinotata, n. sp. (Tab. XXX. fig. 10.) 
Black, shining, with three large dull reddish spots—situate one on the disk of the pronotum at the base, and 
two (contiguous) on the disk of the scutellum. Eyes luteous. Body above irregularly and sparsely punc- 
tate, the spots levigate. (Underside of the body undescribed, owing to the specimen being carded.) 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
Only one specimen of this very distinct species was captured by Mr. Champion. 
ALKINDUS, gen. nov. (To follow Cyrtaspis, p. 12.) 
Allied to Thyreocoris, but differing in the shape and size of the head, which is broad (not quite twice as broad 
as long), convexly lunate, the anterior margins somewhat reflexed and coarsely punctate, and the central 
lobe just reaching the anterior margin. . 
This genus, by the shape of the head, has a relationship to the subfam. Plataspine, 
which as yet is without a recorded American representative; but the general structure 
shows the close connection of Alkindus with Thyreocoris. 
1. Alkindus atratus, n. sp. (Tab. XXX. fig. 2.) 
Black, shining; eyes paler; antenne and tarsi castaneous. Body convex, robust. Head with the frontal 
margin widely, thickly, and coarsely punctate. Pronotum foveate at base near each lateral angle, the 
lateral margins broadly and coarsely punctate, the disk sparingly and finely punctate. Scutellum not quite 
reaching the apex of the abdomen, sparingly and finely punctate, more coarsely and thickly punctate 
towards the lateral margins. (Body beneath undescribed, owing to specimens being carded.) 
Long. 5 to 53 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Tolé (Champion). 
Two specimens, both carded, are all I have seen of this species, and these apparently 
represent the sexes. The female thus appears to be smaller than the male. The 
scutellum of the former does not quite so nearly reach the apex of the abdomen. 
CHLENOOCORIS. (To precede the Scutellerine, p. 12.) 
Chlenocoris, Burmeister, Handb. ii. 1, p. 383 (1835); Germar, Zeitschr. 1, i. p. 22 (1889) ; Dallas, 
List Hem. i. p. 61 (1851). 
According to our present knowledge this is a purely Neotropical genus. It has not 
hitherto been recorded so far north as our region, whence we have now received three 
species, and doubtless others remain to be discovered. 
The hemispherical body and long, narrowed, pointed head, considerably narrower
