ANEURUS. 115 
Dr. Bergroth has examined. It is ferruginous in colour and opaque; the antenne 
with joints 1 and 2 oval and 3 and 4 cylindrical, 1 very stout, 2 much more slender and 
a little shorter than 1, 3 slightly longer than 2, 4 twice as long as 3; the head with 
short, spiniform, antenniferous tubercles and acute post-ocular spines ; the legs short, 
with short clavate femora. The general shape is narrowly ovate. The terminal genital 
segment of the male is small and transverse, and does not extend beyond the genital 
lobes. Our figure is taken from a specimen from El Reposo. 
3. Aneurus tenuis, n. sp. (Tab. VII. figg. 28, ¢; 28a, antenna.) 
3. Oblong, narrow, dull, black, the abdomen and legs piceous. Head rugulose, with short, acute, antenni- 
ferous tubercles and rather prominent post-ocular spines; antenne short and stout, barely one and a half 
times as long as the head, joints 1 and 2 oval, 1 very stout, 2 more slender and much shorter than 1, 
3 cylindrical, a little longer than 2, 4 about twice as long as 3, subcylindrical, pointed at the tip. 
Pronotum distinctly sinuate at the base, rugulose. Scutellum a little broader than long, rugose. 
Connexivum finely rugulose. Legs short, the femora clavate. Terminal genital segment small and 
transverse, not extending beyond the genital lobes, rugulose. 
Length 4, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One example. Allied to the South-American A. burmeistert and A. sahlbergi, Bergr., 
but with differently formed antenne &c. The right antenna is abnormally formed in 
the specimen described, it having two joints only and of equal length. 
4. Aneurus politus. (Tab. VII. figg. 29, s; 29a, antenna.) 
Aneurus politus, Say, Descr. of New Species of Hemipt. Heteropt. of N. Am. (New Harmony, 
Dec. 1831) *; Complete Writings, i. p. 354°; Uhler, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. xix. p. 421 
(1878)*; Bergr. Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. ii. p. 337 *.. 
Ovate, shining, rufo-castaneous or rufo-ferruginous. Head rugulose, with obtuse antenniferous tubercles and 
acute post-ocular spines ; antenne nearly twice as long as the head, joints 1-3 subequal in length, 4 as 
long as 2 and 8 united, 1 stout, oval, 2 and 3 slightly thinner at the base, 4 subcylindrical. Pronotum 
feebly emarginate at the base, the raised parts smooth and shining, the depressions rugulose. Scutellum 
flat, broader than long, rugulose. Connexivum smooth, except along the outer margin. Legs short, the 
femora clavate and sparsely granulate. Terminal genital segment of the male small and transverse, not 
extending beyond the genital lobes. 
Length 43-44, breadth 2-23 millim. (9.) 
Hab. Norra America, Florida !? 3 4.—Guatema.a, Capetillo (Champion).— ANTILLES, 
Cuba 34. 
Five specimens, one of which is much darker in colour than the others, due probably 
to discoloration, these agreeing with the brief descriptions of Say and Uhler. Smaller 
and less elongate than A. tenuicornis, with much shorter and stouter antenne, joints 2 
and 3 being relatively much shorter and 4 subcylindrical, and more acute post-ocular 
spines; the scutellum, too, is without a smooth oblong space in the middle in front.
