HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 3871 
SPHICTYRTUS (p. 153). 
Sphictyrtus pretiosus (p. 153). 
To the locality given, add :—Mexico, Amula in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), Atoyac in 
Vera Cruz (Schumann). 
Sphictyrtus intermedius (p. 153). 
To the localities given, add :—Panama, Bugaba, Caldera (Champion). 
Sphictyrtus longirostris (p. 154). 
To the locality given, add :—Mexico, Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer) ; GuaTEMALA, 
San Gerénimo (Champion). 
The rostrum in this species is very fragile, and in most specimens examined I have 
found it more or less mutilated. 
Var. a. Corium—excluding base, lateral, and claval margins—purplish-brown ; femora ochraceous. 
Hab. Mexico, Tepic in Jalisco (Schumann). 
In all forms of the species the abdomen above is reddish-ochraceous, with the 
segmental margins black. 
4. Sphictyrtus bugabensis, n. sp. (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 15.) 
Pronotum, scutellum, and corium very dark green, membrane black ; head—above and beneath—anterior, 
lateral, and posterior margins of pronotum reddish-ochraceous ; sternum and abdomen beneath ochra- 
ceous ; a large subquadrate spot between the eyes, antenna, legs, a large irregular spot on each lateral 
area of pro-, meso-, and metasternum extending to base of coxe, rostrum, segmental margins to 
abdomen, upper surface of abdomen, and connexivum black or bluish-black. Pronotum very coarsely 
punctate, the disk subrugulose, scutellum transversely wrinkled, corium very finely punctate. (Rostrum 
apparently mutilated.) 
Long. 22 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
By its size and general appearance this species is allied to S. longirostris, Dist., from 
which it is separated by the different colour of the abdomen above and of the lateral 
margins of the pronotum, and by the different markings to the sternum. By the 
colour of the dorsal surface of the abdomen it is allied to S. sumptuosus, Stal, but 
here again its much larger size and the colour of the margins of the pronotum will 
at once distinguish it. 
A single specimen was obtained by Mr. Champion.
