274 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
finely and closely pubescent, as well as sparsely pilose, the longer hairs arising from 
small bare spots. | 
The males have an upwardly curved spine at the apex of the last genital segment, 
and the third antennal joint slender. The single specimen obtained at Paso Antonio, 
from which our figure is taken, has the legs and antenne much more distinctly annu- 
lated than in any of the Mexican examples before me. 
4, Rocconota hystricula, n. sp. (Tab. XVI. fig. 22, ¢.) 
Elongate, pilose, and also clothed with a fine scattered pubescence, shining testaceous, the head and the anterior 
lobe of the pronotum dilute fuscous, the posterior lobe nigro-fuscous, with the base broadly, and the tips 
of the spines, like those of the head, flavo-testaceous; the corium sometimes fuscous between the nervures, 
the membrane with the longitudinal nervure more or less infuscate, the abdomen above flavo-testaceous, 
broadly, transversely fasciated with fuscous, the venter broadly infuscate down the sides, the dark portions 
enclosing a submarginal series of pale spots; the antenne with joints 1 and 2 flavous, annulated with 
fuscous, 3 and 4 ferruginous, 3 flavous at the base; the legs flavous, broadly annulated with fuscous., 
Head nearly as long as the pronotum, smooth, armed with two leng spines, the eyes prominent ; antenne 
very elongate, slender, similarly formed in both sexes. Pronotum armed with two long spines on the dise 
of the posterior lobe, and with a long spine at each of the lateral angles; the anterior lobe transversely 
wrinkled, smooth, with the angles obtuse and tuberculiform; the posterior lobe rugulose. Scutellum 
produced into a short obtuse prominence at the apex. LElytra considerably longer than the abdomen. 
First connexival segment armed with a spine at the outer apical angles, the other segments subangularly 
dilated at the sides behind. Anterior femora feebly incrassate. 
Length 144-19, breadth of the abdomen 3-5 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two males and one female. Near F&. annulicornis, but with the legs more broadly 
annulated with fuscous, the body more sparsely pubescent, the elytra relatively longer, 
with the longitudinal nervure of the membrane more or less infuscate, the anterior 
angles of the pronotum more obtuse, the under surface with long scattered hairs only.

Repipta tuberculigera, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1862, p. 447°. 
Rocconota tuberculigera, Stal, Enum. Hemipt. i. p. 79°. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Holm.'?; coll. Signoret', in Mus. Vind. Ces.), Milpas in 
Durango (Forrer), Dos Arroyos, Venta de Peregrino, Acapulco (H. H. Smith) ; 
GuatEMALA, San Gerénimo, El Reposo (Champion); Panama (Boucard). 
In some of our examples of this species the spines on the head and pronotum are 
quite short, as in the types (one of which is before me), and the two on the disc of the 
posterior lobe of the pronotum are occasionally obsolete ; but in others they are very 
elongate. ‘The abdominal segments are unarmed at the sides in both sexes. The apex 
of the scutellum is produced into a rather stout upwardly curved spine. The males 
have the third antennal joint slender, and the terminal genital segment armed with a 
short tooth at the apex. A specimen from Acapulco is figured.
