HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 411 
Subfam. HETEROGASTRINE. (To precede the Fam. Pyrrhocoride, p. 220.) 
Heterogastrina, Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Foérh. 1872, p. 40. 
This subfamily contains two Palearctic genera, one of which has been recorded from 
North America by Prof. Uhler, one purely Nearctic genus, apparently found in our 
fauna, and a genus founded to contain some species from the Philippine Islands. 
Doubtless more remain to be discovered in many quarters. 
PELIOPELTA. 
Peliopelia, Uhler, Check-List Hemipt.-Heteropt. North America, p. 15 (1886). 
Helonotus, Uhler, Bull. U.S. Geol. & Geog. Surv. ii. p. 312 (1875) (nomen preocc.). 
‘This genus was founded for the reception of a somewhat widely distributed North- 
American species. We have received an insect from Mexico and Guatemala which 
agrees in all essential respects with the generic diagnosis, and which is therefore now 
described as a Peliopelta. 
1. Peliopelta tropicalis, n. sp. (Tab. XXXVI. fig. 5.) 
Brownish-ochraceous; eyes, margins of the longitudinal carina to scutellum, two spots on apical margin of 
corium, and a series of spots to connexivum black. Base of anterior lobe to pronotum, and five narrow 
longitudinal fasciz to posterior lobe, and the lateral angles of same, castaneous. Membrane pale greyish 
hyaline. Antenne with the two basal joints ochraceous, their apices and the whole of the third and 
fourth joints castaneous. Body beneath ochraceous and thickly greyishly pilose; legs ochraceous, the 
femora (excluding apices) castaneous, the tibie annulated with black near base and apex. The head, 
pronotum, and scutellum are somewhat thickly and coarsely punctate, the corium more finely and sparingly 
punctate. 
Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero (#1. H. Smith); Guatemaua, Quiché Mts. 
(Champion). 
A single example was sent us by Mr. Champion and two by Mr. Smith, which are. 
very distinct from the description given by Prof. Uhler of his P. abbreviatus, though allied 
by the markings of the tibia. The specimens being carded, I am unable to describe 
the under surface. 
LARGUS (p. 220). 
Largus subligatus (p. 221). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Tepic in Jalisco (Schumann), Acapulco in 
Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
Largus convivus (p. 222). 
To the localities given, add :— Mexico, Pinos Altos in Chihuahua (Buchan-Hepburn), 
Omilteme and Xucumanatlan in Guerrero (H. H. Smith).
