54 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
type has been forwarded to me by Herr Handlirsch for examination. The locality 
‘““ Mexico” seems to require confirmation. |

Hab. Nortu America, Pennsylvania 1, Georgia !.—Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero ! 
(H. H. Smith: 3); Guaremaua!, Aceituno (Champion: 3 @ ). 
Of this species we possess four specimens from Guatemala and one from Mexico, 
three of which have been examined by Herr Handlirsch. It is very like P. annulipes, 
but has a much shorter apical joint to the antenne in the male (as long as 2 and 3 
united in the present species, about three and a half times as long as 3, or longer than 
the three others united, in P. annulipes), and the outer apical angles of the first three 
segments of the connexivum less prominent. The pronotum varies in colour, it being 
almost entirely black in one of the specimens. ‘The head has a subconical tubercle on 
each side of the disc and the two lobes of the frontal process are prominent. The legs 
are annulate. In the female the apical joint of the antenne is shorter than the two 
preceding joints united. A female from Aceituno is figured. 
6. Phymata albopicta. (Tab. IV. figg. 9, ¢; 94a, profile of head.) 
Phymata albopicta, Handl. Ann. k.k. naturhist. Hofmus. xii. p. 151, t. 4. fig. 2, t. 8. fig. 87 (head), 
t. 9. fig. 38 (antenna) ’. 
Hab. Nortu America, Georgia!.—Mexico (Buucard, in Mus. Oxon.), Morelia, 
Guanajuato (fide Handlirsch!), Chilpancingo in Guerrero! (H. H. Smith), Orizaba 
(H. H. Smith, F. D. G.); Guaremaua, Chiacam and San Gerdénimo in Vera Paz, Capetillo 
(Champion), Guatemala city (Salvin). 
We possess ten examples of this species, and there is also one of it in the Oxford 
Museum, some of which have been examined by Herr Handlirsch. In this insect the 
abdomen is broadly and abruptly foliaceous beyond the middle; the pronotum is 
without the usual median constriction at the sides, the latter being feebly trisinuate, 
and the anterior and hind angles are acute; the head hasa rather long, raised, bifurcate 
frontal process, and two prominent subconical tubercles on each side of the disc; the 
apical joint of the antenne is about as long as the two preceding united in the male, 
much shorter in the female. The broad transverse dark fascia on the elytra some- 
times extends to the apex; the basal half of the corium and the first three segments 
of the connexivum are spotted with whitish or pale testaceous, and there are two 
similarly coloured spots on each side of the pronotum anteriorly. A specimen from 
San Gerénimo is figured.
