HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 343 
Edessa taurina (p. 88). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann). 
4 (a). Edessa intorta, n. sp. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 2.) 
Body above brownish-ochraceous. Pronotum very coarsely punctate, the lateral angles very strongly produced 
and slightly recurved at apices, which are paler in hue. Scutellum sparingly and coarsely punctate, with 
a broad double series of finer, but thickly arranged punctures on its apical area, its apex not reaching the 
level of the apex of corium. Corium very thickly and finely punctate, with the veins ochraceous. 
Membrane cupreous, with its apex much paler in hue. Body beneath pale ochraceous; the sternal 
sutures, the abdominal sutures (excluding disk), and some short transverse stigmatal fascis, black. Legs 
ochraceous, the tarsi pale castaneous. The antenne have the second joint a little shorter than the third, 
the fourth and fifth joints longest and subequal in length. The apical angles of the sixth abdominal 
_segment are acutely produced. 
Long. 15 millim., lat. pronot. angl. 13 millim. 
Hab. Paxama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen only of this species was sent home by Mr. Champion. 
Edessa jugata (p. 88). 
To the localities given, add -—-Mrx100, Misantla (/. D. G.), Atoyac in Vera Cruz 
(Schumann), Teapa in Tabasco (1. H. Smith); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 
3000 feet, and Bugaba (Champion). 
5 (a). Edessa pictiventris. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 3.) 
Edessa pictiventris, Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 52. 13°. 
Hab. Panama, Boucard (coll. Dist.), Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet, 
David, and Caldera (Champion).—CoLomBiA, Bogota }. 
This certainly appears to be one of the most abundant species of the genus in the 
State of Panama; and it varies in size, our largest specimens being 17 millim. in 
length, thus agreeing with the dimensions given by Stal, whilst the smallest are 
only 14 millim. 
5 (B). Edessa bulbacea, n. sp. (Tab XXXII. fig. 4.) 
Dark castaneous ; lateral angles of the pronotum produced into somewhat long nodulate spines with their 
apices black. Head punctate, more thickly so on the apical half; antenne pale castaneous, the second 
and third joints subequal in length, the fourth and fifth joints longest and also subequal. Pronotum 
thickly and somewhat coarsely punctate, with a patch of closely-arranged black punctures on the anterior 
lateral margin. Scutellum thickly and coarsely punctate, its apex acutely angulated, but not reaching 
the level of the apex of corium. Corium very thickly and finely punctate, with the veins pale castaneous. 
Membrane dark cupreous. Body beneath very dark castaneous ; the legs, cox, sternal plate, transverse 
fasciz to sternum, a double series of central abdominal spots, stigmatal spots, and an almost connected 
series of long marginal abdominal spots, pale castaneous. Apices of sixth abdominal segment acute and 
moderately produced. 
Long. 22 millim., lat. pronot. angl. 17 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion).
