306 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
1. Carthasis rufonotatus, n. sp. (Tab. XIX. figg. 4, 4a, 2.) 
9. Moderately elongate, dull, almost smooth, finely pubescent and also sparsely pilose ; testaceous or flavo- 
testaceous, the pleura, clavus, and scutellum, and a transverse fascia on the posterior lobe of the pronotum, 
darker; the corium flavous, with two crimson spots—one at the apex and one adjoining the base of the 
membrane, the latter sometimes obsolete,—and a fuscous patch before the middle; the eyes, two vitte 
behind them, and the tip of the scutellum red in some specimens; the membrane fuscous, with the apex 
and a spot adjoining the apex of the corium flavescent. Pronotum slightly wider in front than the head 
(with the eyes), the posterior lobe rounded at the sides and feebly emarginate at the base. Anterior 
femora with several long sete, in addition to the very fine teeth, along the lower edge. 
Length 4-43, breadth 7-1 millim. i 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Caldera, David, Tolé (Champion). 
Five specimens of this delicate insect have been found ; three of them are somewhat 
immature. 
Fam. ANTHOCORIDA. 
In Dr. Reuter’s comprehensive and masterly monograph of this family (1884) nine 
species only are mentioned from within our limits, and these from Mexico. It is 
therefore not surprising that many of the Central-American forms are new, both as 
regards genera and species. Unfortunately several of them are represented by single 
(carded) examples only, and I have not always been able to make out satisfactorily the 
neuration of the wings and the form of the orifice of the odoriferous sac, the main 
characters relied upon by Dr. Reuter in his system of classification. Since tlie 
publication of the ‘Monograph,’ Prof. Uhler has given a list of the numerous species 
obtained by Mr. H. H. Smith in the Antillean islands of St. Vincent and Grenada 
(P. Z. 8. 1894, pp. 156, 157, 198-202); several of these also inhabit our region, 
whence upwards of fifty are here recorded. Of the three subfamilies adopted by 
Dr. Reuter, one only, the Anthocorine, is represented in Central America. All our 
specimens are macropterous. 
Subfam. ANTHOCORINA. 
Division LYCTOCORARIA, Reuter. 
The species of this section of the Anthocorine have the third and fourth antennal 
joints much more slender than the preceding joints, and clothed with long projecting 
hairs, Dr. Reuter includes in it only the forms with a hamus in the cell of the wings; 
but one of the new genera here characterized without a hamus in the cell is so nearly 
allied to Lastochilus in other respects that it seems best placed here. 
LYCTOCORIS. 
Lyctocoris, Hahn, Wanz. Ins. iii. p. 19 (1835); Reuter, Monogr. Anthocorid. pp. 5, 6. 
Dolichomerus, Reuter, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Forh. 1871, p. 557. 
This genus includes five species—one cosmopolitan, the others American.
