the pronotum more cuarsely denticulate in front, and the median carina and margins 
of the scutellum set with erect tubercles; it may belong to a different species. A 
Bugaba example is figured.

Of this remarkable genus three species are known, all Tropical American, one of 
them extending on to the Isthmus of Panama. Walker’s name appears to have been 
overlooked, partly through his quite erroneous description of the antenne and partly 
on account of his having wrongly referred the genus to the Tingitide.

Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion: 3 ).—Cotomptia!. 
Two males of this species were found by myself at Bugaba. The form of the 
connexivum readily distinguishes this insect from the two other known members of the 
genus—P. eximia, Hagl. (=arida, Walk., and pallida, Uhl.), and P. lanceolata (F.) ; 
P. eximia, moreover, has a transverse nervure at the middle of each of the segments of 
the connexivum, and in P. lanceolata these segments are truncate and unemarginate 
behind. Dr. Bergroth (loc. cit.) has figured a portion of the connexivum of each of 
the three species. Specimens of P. eximia and P. lanceolata are contained in the 
British Museum,

Prowius, Stal, Enum. Hemipt. iii. pp. 139, 141 (1878). 
Three Central-American species are referred to this genus, based upon P. incrustatus, 
Stal, from Rio Janeiro, the type of which is before me. In all these insects the surface 
is thickly coated with a hard pallid incrustation, which is moulded into peculiarly 
shaped callosities on the head, pronotum, and scutellum, the two grooves on the upper- 
side of the head forming cavities for the reception of a portion of the antenne in 
repose. They are difficult to describe in an intelligible manner, and will be more 
easily identified from our figures.
