We possess eight specimens of this species from within our limits, all but two of 
them being from Chiriqui. Easily recognizable by its large size, the elongate post- 
ocular portions of the head, and the transversely rugose posterior lobe of the 
pronotum. ‘The coloration of the elytra resembles that of Z. litura, except that the 
ochreous markings are almost obliterated at the base of the membrane. ‘The eyes are 
prominent. The hairs on the head and pronotum are short, those on the legs being 
very much longer. A specimen from Bugaba is figured.

This is one of the commonest Reduviids in the “ tierra caliente” of Tropical America, 
ranging as far north as Durango. J. litwra is recognizable amongst its allies by the 
comparatively large and prominent eyes and short head, the lateral post-ocular portions 
of the head not longer than the eyes, ‘The nervures of the membrane are almost 
entirely ochreous, and also bordered with that colour. The two specimens from 
Ruatan Island are much discoloured, but they certainly belong here. An example 
from Bugaba is figured.
