334 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
SOLENONOTUS. 
Solenonotus, Reuter, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Foérh. 1871, p. 599; Monogr. Anthocorid. pp. 114, 149; 
Stal, Enum. Hemipt. i. p. 101. 
Dr. Reuter included a single species from ‘Tropical America in this genus, his type 
of which had the third and fourth antennal joints broken off. This species and two 
others occur within our limits. They have the antenne formed as in Piezostethus, &c., 
the two outer joints being much more slender than the others and clothed with long 
projecting hairs. Solenonotus is a near ally of the Palearctic genus Xylocoris. ‘The 
three species may be separated thus :— 
Elytra black or fuscous, with the shoulders distinctly ochreous. 
Body ovate: length 8 millim.. . . 2... 1... Suleifer, Stal. 
Body oblong, narrow: levgth not more than 2 millim. . . . . . canaliculatus, n. sp. 
Elytra pale testaceous, with the embolium and cuneus more or less 
black: body ovate: length 2-2} millim. . . . . . . . « « migromarginatus, n. sp.

Antioquia?; Brazit, Rio Janeiro !~4, 
Three specimens. These nearly agree with Reuter’s var. 6, from Antioquia, the type 
of which is now before me: they have the hind tibie piceous, except at the base 
and apex, and the other tibie entirely testaceous. ‘The shoulders of the elytra are 
ochreous. 
2. Solenonotus canaliculatus, n. sp. 
Narrow, shining, depressed, the flattened apical portion of the scutellum and the elytra subopaque; finely 
pubescent, and also clothed with a few scattered long erect hairs, the abdomen with several very long 
bristly hairs at the apex; piceous, the elytra piceous or fusco-testaceous, with the shoulders ochreous, and 
the outer portions of the embolium and cuneus thence to the apex black; the antenna, rostrum, and legs 
testaceous, the femora slightly darker. Head nearly as long as broad, the eyes small; antenne as in 
S. nigromarginatus. Pronotum trapezoidal, very short, deeply sulcate down the middle, and obsoletely 
margined at the sides, the anterior lobe almost smooth, the posterior lobe depressed on the disc and 
transversely rugulose. Elytra almost smooth. Orifice of the metastethium curving forward externally. 
Legs rather short, the femora incrassate, the anterior and posterior pairs very stout. 
Length 13-2 millim. (d @.) 
Hab. GuaTeMaA, Pantaleon (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, San Feliz (Champion). 
Four specimens. Closely allied to S. nigromarginatus, but smaller and narrower, the 
eyes smaller, the corium and clavus much darker, the pronotum more deeply sulcate 
down the middle, the femora paler.
