Lichenobia, Baerensprung, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. i. p. 165 (1857). 
A widely distributed genus including eight described species. One from Panama is 
now added. 
1. Ceratocombus panamensis, n. sp. 
Macropierous form. Narrow, obovate, dull, piceous, the elytra uniformly fuscous, the wings hyaline and 
iridescent, the legs, antenna, and rostrum testaceous; the head, pronotum, and abdomen clothed with a 
few long erect bristly hairs, the tibia setose, the two outer joints of the antenne clothed with very long 
fine projecting hairs. Antenne moderately long; joints 3 and + very slender, elongate, and about equal 
in length. Pronotum narrower in front than the head (with the eyes), the sides (as viewed from above) 
straight, and rapidly converging from the base forward, the disc finely canaliculate down the middle. 
Elytral neuration as in C. brasiliensis, Reut. 
Length nearly 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Two specimens. Closely allied to C. minutus, Uhler, from St. Vincent and Grenada, 
but larger and more elongate, the elytra longer (in the developed forms), the pronotum 
with the sides straighter. C. minutus appears to be a common insect in some of the 
Antillean Islands, In the elytral neuration the present insect agrees with Dr. Reuter’s 
figure of C. brasiliensis (Monogr. Ceratocomb. tab. fig. 3 a). 
Fam, CIMICIDZ. 
This family, as at present restricted, includes only the bed-bug and its allies. 
CIMEX. 
Cimex, section a, Linnzus, Syst. Nat. ed. 10, 1. p. 441 (1758) ; Stal, Enum. Hemipt. iii. p. 104. 
It is unnecessary to give here either the full synonymy of this genus or of the 
single species included by Linneus in his section “a” of Cimea, viz. C. lectularius, 
the bed-bug *. The other species attack birds, bats, &c.
