ANEUROSOMA.—HEBRUS. 117 
The first genital segment is more strongly transverse than in the females of any Aneurus 
known to me. 
1. Aneurosoma dissimile. (Tab. VII. figg. 32, 9; 32a, antenna.) 
Aneurus dissimilis, Bergr. Wien. ent. Zeit. viii. p. 52 (9) (1889)*; Leth. et Serv. Cat. gén. 
Hémipt., Hétéropt. iii. p. 467. 
9. Elongate-ovate, rather narrow, shining, nigro-piceous, the front of the head, the outer half of the apical 
joint of the antenne, the anterior lobe of the pronotum, the abdomen, and legs rufo-ferruginous. Head 
rugulose, with a smooth callosity on each side between the eyes; the antenniferous tubercles rounded ; 
the post-ocular portions tumid and obtuse, subtruncate behind ; antenne more than twice the length of 
the head, joint 1 stout, obovate, 2-4 slender, 2 and 3 equal in length, becoming thinner towards the base, 
each considerably longer than 1, 4 fusiform, about as long as1 and 2 united, pilose at the tip. Pronotum 
transverse, trapezoidal, emerginate at the sides and in front; the anterior and posterior lobes separated 
by a deep groove, each smooth and callous towards the sides, the anterior lobe also with two smooth 
callosities on the disc, the other portions of the surface finely rugulose and minutely granulate. Scutellum 
rugulose, smoother in the centre. Corium subopaque. Connexivum almost smooth, except along the 
margin. Abdomen broadly truncate-emarginate at the apex, the first genital segment short and very 
wide. Legs moderately long, the femora clavate and finely granulate. 
Length 5,1,, breadth 2 millim.

HEBRUS. 
Hebrus, Curtis, Ent. Mag. i. p. 198 (1833); Amyot et Serville, Hist. Nat. Ins. Hémipt. p. 294; 
Fieber, Europ. Hemipt. pp. 32, 104. 
Neogeus, Laporte, Essai d’une Syst. Class. Hémipt. in Guérin’s Mag. Zool. 1832, p. 34. 
A widely distributed genus containing seven described species*. The type, 
H. pusillus (Fall.), of Europe and N. Africa, has 5-jointed antenne; but some 
authors, including Laporte, give the antenne as 4-jointed, the division between the 
fourth and fifth joints being not very distinct ; others (Douglas and Scott +) mention 
six joints, the minute jointlet at the base of the third being counted as a true joint. 
The ventral sutures are indistinct or obliterated in some of the species. The tarsi 
are 2-jointed. In H. major, H. leviventris, &c., the males have the venter broadly 
flattened in the middle, and in the same sex of H. sulcatus the intermediate femora 
are armed with a short tooth. All the Central-American Hebride seen by me 
are winged. 
* The H. americanus of the Catalogues of Walker and Lethierry and Severin is a Microvelia. 
+ In their figure seven joints are shown.
