4 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
2. Phatnoma annulipes, n. sp. (Tab. I. fig. 2.) 
Lighter or darker ochreous-brown, the expanded margins of the pronotum and the elytra more or less mottled 
with fuscous, the fuscous markings on the costal area of the elytra sometimes forming fasciw, the apex of 
the clavus and some spots on the carine and costa black ; the pronotal and elytral margins partly hyaline ; 
the antenns testaceous, with the apical joint more or less black, the third joint sometimes infuscate; the 
legs testaceous, with the knees usually infuscate, the femora with a more or less distinct yellow annulus 
before the apex. Pronotum with the margins greatly raised, and very broadly and obliquely dilated 
forwards, angularly produced in front and also at the sides anteriorly, the anterior dilatation terminating 
in a short spine, the margin rounded behind the outer angle; the disc closely punctured and tricarinate, 
the outer carine parallel. Elytra moderately broad, suboval, broadly rounded at the apex; discoidal 
and subcostal areas separated by a sharply raised carina which extends fowards to the base, the discoidal 
area limited inwards by a curved carina which extends to near the tip of the elytra; the clavus and 
the sutural, discoidal, and subcostal areas with very small rounded punctiform areole, the discoidal and 
subcostal areas each with about five transverse or oblique pallid raised lines; costal area broad to the tip, 
closely reticulated, there being five rows of areole at the middle, increasing to six or seven behind. 
Length 33-4, breadth 1,%—2,, millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Frontera in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, Cahabon in Vera 
Paz, San Isidro (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Five specimens. Very like P. marmorata, but with the margins of the pronotum 
still more broadly dilated and extending obliquely forwards (the pronotum appearing 
deeply emarginate in front), the costal area of the elytra broader and with an additional 
row of small areole. A specimen from Chiriqui is figured. 
3. Phatnoma ovata, n.sp. (Tab. I. figg. 3; 3a, the body beneath, ? .) 
Lighter or darker brownish-ochreous, the outer carine of the pronotum and the costal margin and carine of the 
elytra spotted with black or fuscous, the inner basa] margin of the clavus also blackish ; the small areole 
of the pronotal and elytral margins hyaline; the legs and antenne testaceous, the apical joint of the 
latter black at the tip. Pronotum with the margins a little raised, angularly dilated before the midde as 
well as in front, becoming narrow behind, the anterior dilatation terminating in a short spine; the disc 
closely punctured, tricarinate, the outer carine curved inwards in front. Elytra rather short, regularly 
oval, somewhat narrowly rounded at the apex ; discoidal and subcostal areas equal in width, separated by 
a sharply-raised carina which extends forwards to the base, the discoidal area limited inwards by a mode- 
rately raised carina which extends to the apex of the subcostal area, both areas with several transverse or 
oblique raised lines, and, like the clavus and sutura]l area, with very small rounded areole; costal area 
moderately broad, becoming narrow at the tip, with a row of oblong areole along the margin and three 
rows of much smaller areole within. 
Length 33-34, breadth 14-2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Isidro, Panajachel, Zapote, Capetillo, Dueias (Champion). 
Numerous examples, all from the Pacific slope. Differs from P. marmorata and 
P. annulipes in having the margins of the pronotum much less dilated, the outer 
pronotal carine not parallel, and the elytra regularly oval, with narrower costal area 
and a row of larger oblong areole along the margin.
