342 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
testaceous, the tibie and tarsi annulated with fuscous or black. Head, pronotum, and scutellum finely 
rugulose; ocelli narrowly separated; antenne pubescent and sparsely pilose, moderately long, slender, 
joint 3 one-half longer than 2, 3 and 4 equal in length; pronotum much narrowed in front, the lateral 
margins narrowly explanate and slightly rounded, the anterior lobe with a deep transverse depression in 
the middle, and separated from the posterior lobe by a deep transverse groove. Elytra minutely punctate ; 
membrane moderately long, with four elongate areola. Legs shortly pilose, the tibize with strong sete. 
Length 33-4, breadth 13-2 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo and Guatemala city (Champion); Panama, Volcan 
de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Seven examples. Very like S. saltatoria, but with the yellowish markings on the 
elytra more extended and the pronotum a little less dilated at the sides in front, this 
last-mentioned character separating it from S. pallipes (Fabr.). 8. tropicalis also 
closely resembles S. opacula, Zett., but the costal margin of the corium in the latter 
is uninterruptedly flavous from below the base almost to the apex. In 8S. humilis 
(Say) the pronotum is more narrowed in front, with the sides straighter, and the elytra 
are differently coloured. 
8. Salda quadrimaculata, n. sp. (Tab. XX. fig. 8.) 
Ovate, rather short, opaque, the upper surface clothed with a very short, fine, decumbent, golden pubescence ; 
black, the elytra with two transverse flavous spots on the costal area, one below the base and the other 
just before the apex, the membrane pale, with the nervures and one or two small spots in each areola 
fuscous ; the antenne fuscous, with the base testaceous; the rostrum and legs testaceous, the tibize and 
tarsi faintly annulated with fuscous. Head, pronotum, and scutellum rugulose; ocelli narrowly separated ; 
antenne short, slender, finely pubescent, joint 3 a little longer than 2 (4 broken off); pronotum greatly 
narrowed in front, not dilated at the sides, the anterior lobe raised on the disc and depressed in the centre. 
Membrane moderately developed, with four long areole. Legs finely pubescent, the tibize with fine 
scattered seta. . 
Length 23, breadth 14 millim. (9.) 
Hab. Panama, Pefia Blanca 3000 feet (Champion). 
Two examples. In this minute species the pronotum is not dilated at the sides, and 
much narrowed in front, and the elytra have two well-defined flavous spots on the 
costal area, characters separating it from all the other Central-American forms. From 
the N.-American and Antillean S. humilis (Say) it may be known by the differently 
coloured elytra, the distinctly separated ocelli, and its less elongate shape.

Salda ventralis, Stal, Rio Jan. Hemipt. i. p. 81’. 
Acanthia ventralis, Stal, Enum. Hemipt. in. p. 148°. 
Oblong-ovate, rather narrow, opaque, the pronotum and scutellum slightly shining, the upper surface clothed 
with a very short, fine, decumbent golden pubescence; black, the head in front, two spots between the 
eyes, the pronotal margins, except at the base and apex, an oblong spot on the clavus near the base and 
another near its apex, the costal area of the corium from the base to about the middle, a spot on the disc 
inside this, two streaks on the costal area at the apex, a small spot at the inner apical angle of the corium, 
and sometimes the inner half of the apical margin of the latter, flavous or whitish ; the membrane pale
