178 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
Seven specimens. Very like S. recurvata, but evidently distinct, differing from it in 
the rufous coloration of the legs and antenne, and the fascicular arrangement of the 
setee on the lower side of the anterior femora. There is an immature example of 
the same species from Colombia in the British Museum. 
4, Saica tibialis. (Tab. XI. figg. 4, 4a, 2.) 
Saica tibialis, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1862, p. 441’; Enum. Hemipt. ii. p. 124”. 
Hab. Mexico! 2, Jalapa (M. Trujillo); GuatuMata, San Gerénimo in Vera Paz, Cerro 
Zunil, Las Mercedes, Mirandilla (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 
feet (Champion). 
Not uncommon in Guatemala and Panama, occurring on both the Atlantic and 
Pacific slopes. This species is very like S. recurvata (Fabr.), but it is smaller and less 
elongate, and the pronotal spines are longer and usually whitish. In light-coloured 
specimens the tibie, except at the base, and the tarsi are yellowish-white, like the 
trochanters and cox, and the other parts of the legs vermilion-red; but in darker 
examples the tibie are fusco-testaceous or fuscous, or have the basal half rufous, The 
elytra are more or less ochraceous, with some of the nervures red. The anterior 
femora are furnished beneath with an irregular row of sete, in addition to the long 
fine hairs. The anterior trochanters have two clusters of setee beneath. The prosternal 
spines are acute. 
Twenty-eight specimens have been seen, one only of which is from Mexico, and that 
very much discoloured. 
5. Saica erubescens, n. sp. (Tab. XI. figg. 5, 5a, ¢.) 
Elongate, very narrow, slender; dilute whitish-stramineous, the femora with a rather broad annulus at the 
tip, the hind pair also with a faint annulus a little beyond the middle, the hind angles of the pronotum, 
and the elytra with the costa in part and some of the nervures towards the base, rosy-red; the body, 
legs, and antenne thickly clothed with very long, fine, erect, whitish hairs, the anterior femora also 
furnished beneath with an irregular row of scattered sete. Head swollen behind the eyes, the latter 
large and prominent. Pronotal spines acute and exceedingly elongate, projecting a little forwards and 
outwards, as long as the backwardly-directed scutellar spine; post-scutellum with two spines—the 
anterior one short and blunt, the posterior one acute and about one-third the length of the scutellar 
spine. Legs very slender. Prosternal spines acute and visible from above. 
Length (to tip of the elytra) 84, breadth 1,1, millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. Allied to S. tibialis, Stal; but much smaller and narrower than the 
male of that insect, and with more slender limbs. The legs are whitish, with a dilute 
rosy-red annulus at the apex of each of the femora, the posterior pair also having a 
faint median ring.
