HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. | 403 
outer margins of eyes and scarcely half the width of hase, the lateral margins narrowly laminate and 
strongly sinuate; transversely constricted about centre, the anterior lobe beimg moderately globose. 
Scutellum longer than the claval suture. Corium a little narrower than the abdomen, the margins of 
which are exposed and moderately prominent. Lostrum with the basal joint a little shorter than the 
head, second about equal in length to the first, third as long as second and first together, fourth 
very small. 
The more or less exposed abdominal margin is a salient feature of this genus. 
1. Bathycles maculatus, n. sp. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 12.) 
Pitchy-black ; two small spots near claval suture, the base and a large spot near apex of corium ochraceous ; 
membrane fuscous; apical joint of the antenne brownish; bases of the femora apparently narrowly 
ochraceous (carded specimens). Antenne with the second joint longest, the third a little shorter than the 
fourth. The body above is obscurely and finely punctate. The head, anterior lobe of pronotum, and the 
seutellum are rather darker in hue. 
Long. 6 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, El Tumbador, Pantaleon, Mirandilla (Champion). 
Four examples were obtained from the above localities. 
NEOCATTARUS (p. 213). 
2 (a). Neocattarus thoracicus, n. sp. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 13.) 
Closely allied in size and general markings to WN. vegetus, Dist., but differing structurally by the form of the 
base of the posterior lobe to the pronotum, which is distinctly, broadly, transversely excavated between 
the lateral angles, and is there sometimes castaneous in hue. Antenne ochraceous, with the apical 
joint darker ; second and fourth joints subequal in length. 
Long. 33-4 millim.

(Champion). 
6. Neocattarus maculatus, n. sp. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 14.) - 
Head and pronotum black ; posterior lobe of pronotum with eight small ochraceous spots, situate two on each 
sublateral area and two on the lateral margins. Scutellum black. Corium stramineous ; claval suture 
and a spot on each side of it, two small contiguous spots near base of corium, and apical half of
