286 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
Hab. British Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaux: 2); Panama, Tolé (Champion: ¢ ). 
Two examples only of this curious species have been seen, the male differing from the 
female in having the tomentose spots golden instead of white. H. multiguttata belongs 
to the same section of the genus as H. linotata (Lep. & Serv.), H. insignis, Stal, and 
Hi. ventralis, Stal. 
3. Heza fuscinervis, n. sp. (Tab. XVII. fig. 21, ¢.) 
Very elongate, rather robust, opaque, thickly griseo-pubescent and also with a few scattered erect hairs, the 
legs pilose; griseous or griseo-testaceous, the head, pronotum, and under surface more or less streaked 
or spotted with fuscous, the connexival segments sometimes maculated with yellow, the nervures of the 
membrane partly black, the legs more or less annulated with fuscous ; the pleura in fresh specimens with 
spots of whitish tomentum; the antenne with joint 1 fuscous, with two pale rings, 2-4 testaceous, 
2 fuscous at the apex. Head nearly as long as the pronotum, with two very long, acute, slightly curved 
spines, the neck-like basal portion stout and cylindrical, the eyes moderately large in both sexes. 
Pronotum with two blunt or subacute moderately long spines on the disc of the anterior lobe and conical, 
moderately prominent anterior angles; the posterior lobe with two very long acute spines on the disc and 
one at each of the lateral angles. Elytra extending to the apex of the abdomen. Legs very elongate, 
the anterior femora strongly incrassate. Rostrum with the first joint as long as the two others united. 
g. Abdominal segments 1~3 each armed with a spine and 4-6 angularly or acutely dilated at the outer apical 
angles, the apex of the sixth appearing deeply emarginate; terminal genital segment with an upwardly 
curved spine at the tip. 
2. Abdominal segments 1-3 armed with a short spine at the outer apical angles. 
Length 23-29, breadth 4-63 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer); Panama, Bugaba, Tolé (Champion). 
Three males and one female. ‘This large species is allied to H. sericans, H. oculata, 
and H. multiannulata, Stal, from Brazil, but, to judge from the descriptions, distinct 
from all of them *. Males only of this group were known to Stal. The spines on the 
head and anterior lobe of the pronotum vary in length, and those on the latter are 
acute in some specimens and blunt in others. In one of the males the angles of the 
sixth connexival segment are acutely produced. ‘The third antennal joint is slender in 
both sexes.

A Tropical-American genus including several large and peculiar insects, chiefly 
distinguishable by the greatly dilated sides of the abdomen. 
* Dr. Aurivillius has sent me the type (do) of H. multiannulata, Stal, for examination. It differs from 
H. fuscinervis in being much less elongate, and in having long acute spines at the outer apical angles of all the 
connexival segments, the anterior angles of the pronotum obtuse, &c.
