264 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
pronotum is paler and more inflated than in the varietal forms, but as intermediate 
examples occur no importance can be attached to this character. The S.-American 
N. consimilis and N. pulvinatus, Stal, are, no doubt, varieties of the same species, as 
already noted by him?. Thirty specimens of W. dorsalis have been seen from within 
our limits, five only of these belonging to the var. flavolineatus. 
We figure a typical female from Panima, a female of the var. dromedarius from 
Teapa, and a male of the var. flavolineatus from Bugaba. 
2. Notocyrtus foveatus. (Tab. XVI. figg. 4, 4a, 2.) 
Notocyrius (Cystingonotus) foveatus, Stal, Enum. Hemipt. ii. p. 85 (g)’. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion).—Cotomaia, Bogota}. 
Two females of this species were found by myself in Chiriqui. The type has been 
seen. 
3. Notocyrtus bactrianus, n.sp. (Tab. XVI. figg. 5, 5a,¢; 56, hind leg.) 
Moderately elongate, robust, shining, thickly clothed with short pallid pubescence ; sordid ochreous, the head 
with a space between the eyes and the post-ocellar portion, a line or spot in the centre excepted, black ; 
the pronotum with the anterior lobe flavous in front, the posterior lobe with the anterior portion entirely, 
and two triangular patches on the disc beyond, these latter connected behind, nigro-piceous or black ; the 
elytra testaceous, with the membrane subhyaline; the abdomen with the dorsal segments 4—6 broadly 
infuscate across the middle, the ventral segments 3-5 each with a transverse oblique dark streak at the 
sides ; the antenne blackish, with joint 1 beneath and 2 and 3 at the base obscurely flavous; the rostrum 
with a black line along each side; the pleura partly blackish ; the legs ferrugineo-testaceous, the tibis 
more or less infuscate towards the apex. Head short, swollen behind the eyes and also tumid at the base 
beneath, armed above with two short obtuse prominences and with the tylus raised along the middle ~ 
in front, the eyes small; antenne rather short, joint 1 a little longer than 3, 2 short, 4 slightly longer 
than 2. Pronotum with the posterior lobe subpentagonal in shape, slightly constricted at the sides, 
transversely depressed across the middle, and declivous behind, the produced supra-scutellar portion 
longitudinally depressed in the centre and rounded at the tip, the anterior portion moderately inflated, 
rounded in front, and almost covering the anterior lobe, the lateral angles rounded ; the anterior angles 
each armed with a short, stout tooth. Elytra extending to a little beyond the abdomen. Legs stout ; 
the femora moderately incrassate, the posterior pair considerably swollen before the apex above; the 
anterior tibia curved; the intermediate and hind tibie flattened or excavate along their outer face, and 
also hollowed along their inner face, appearing triangular in shape, the intermediate pair becoming 
moderately and the hind pair enormously incrassate towards the middle; the femora and tibiz densely 
and shortly ciliate within. 
Length 94-10; breadth of the pronotum 22-3, of the elytra at the base 2-23 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba and Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens. Differs from our other species in the peculiarly formed intermediate 
and hind tibiz, as well as in the shape of the posterior lobe of the pronotum; this 
latter is simply transversely depressed across the middle and declivous behind, with the 
anterior portion convex and unemarginate in front, and the supra-scutellar portion 
deeply depressed along the middle.
