110 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
Volcan de Chiriqui. It is rather variable, the Chiriqui specimens usually having the 
antennee a little more elongate and the antenniferous processes less acute than in the 
type (2) communicated by Dr. Aurivillius. The membrane is often entirely black. 
The males are generally more widened posteriorly than the females. Capetillo 
specimens are figured.

Found in plenty at Capetillo and in Chiriqui. An elongate, narrow, depressed 
species, with the head, pronotum, and scutellum finely granulate; the connexivum is 
almost smooth, finely carinate near the outer margin, and rounded at the sides poste- 
riorly in both sexes; the pronotum is short, trapezoidal, with the sides feebly sinuate 
and the more or less rounded anterior angles somewhat prominent in front. Examples 
occur of a ferruginous colour (W. rubiginosus, Bergr.). Dr. Bergroth has examined 
one of the Chiriqui specimens and pronounced it to be N. punctulatus. In the single 
(2) specimen from Mexico the post-ocular portions of the head are armed with a 
short spine. One of the types, a male, of NV. rubiginosus, from Cuba, has been seen. 
The terminal genital segment of the female is truncate at the apex. |

. Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca in Morelos (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.1). 
This small species is ferruginous in colour; the membrane is fuscous, with two 
luteous marks at the base; the post-ocular spines extend to a little beyond the eyes ; 
the pronotum is short, trapezoidal * ; the corium is short, strongly bisinuate at the 
apex ; the connexivum is broad, rounded externally, the general shape of the insect 
being ovate; the genital lobes (¢@ ) are short and subtruncate at the apex; the antenne 
are about one-half longer than the head, the basal joint extending a little beyond the tip 
* It is more transverse than represented by our artist.
