374 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
twice as wide on the vertex as at the base, the vertex sulcate down the middle. Pronotum (along the 
median line) about as long as the scutellum ; the disc in the male with two elongate deep depressions 
towards the middle and a very large subtriangular shallow depression on each side, thus appearing 
tricarinate in this sex. Legs rather slender; the anterior tibiw in the male angularly dilated on the 
lower edge at the base, and also considerably widened. 
Length 63, breadth 13 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Nortu America, Texas.—MExico, Presidio de Mazatlan (forrer). 
Six examples have been received from Mr. Forrer, two of which are nymphs. 
Very like A. pallens, but comparatively more elongate, the scutellum shorter, the 
pronotum with four deep depressions on the disc in the male. The coloration of 
the scutellum is perhaps variable, though similar in the five full-grown specimens 
seen. The interocular space is narrower in the male than in the female, this being 
especially noticeable beneath, the insect differing in this respect from A. pallens. 
There is a specimen ( 2 ) of this species from Texas in the British Museum, sent by 
Prof. Riley under the name of A. platycnemis. 
4. Anisops crassipes, n. sp. (Tab. XXII. fig. 15, ¢.) 
Elongate, moderately robust, very shining ; nigro-violaceous, the head and a triangular patch at the sides of 
the pronotum in front sordid white, the elytra with several small, triangular, carmine-red spots at the 
humeral angles; the abdomen black, testaceous towards the base above, the connexival segments each 
with a flavous spot beneath, the rest of the under surface in great part, the antenne, and legs testaceous, 
all the tibia externally, and the hind femora beneath, each with a more or less distinct darker median 
line. Head with (the eyes) nearly as wide as the pronotum in the male, a little narrower in the female; 
interocular space about twice as wide on the vertex as at the base, the vertex sulcate down the middle. 
Pronotum almost unimpressed and similarly formed in both sexes, a little shorter than the scutellum. 
Legs comparatively stout ; the anterior tibie in the male angularly dilated on their lower edge at the 
base, and also greatly widened. 
Length 7-73, breadth 2-23 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo, Duefias, Guatemala city (Champion). 
Five specimens. Distinguishable by its very dark coloration, the rufous spots at 
the humeral angles of the elytra, the stout legs, and the almost unimpressed pronotum 
in both sexes. The anterior tibiz are greatly widened in the male. 
5. Anisops pallens, n. sp. (Tab. XXII. fig. 16, ¢.) 
Elongate, rather slender, smooth, shining; testaceous or pale testaceous, the head and pronotum whitish, the 
abdomen partly black above and almost entirely so beneath, the flavous spots on the connexival segments 
excepted. Head (with the eyes) a little narrower than the pronotum ; interocular space about twice as 
wide on the vertex as at the base, the vertex deeply sulcate down the middle. Pronotum unimpressed 
and similarly formed in both sexes, much shorter than the scutellum. Legs rather slender, but with the 
anterior and intermediate tarsi comparatively stout ; the anterior tibie in the male angularly dilated on 
their lower edge at the base, and also considerably widened. 
Length 53-63, breadth 12-12 millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. GuateMaLa, San Gerdénimo (Chanipion). 
Five specimens. ‘This insect resembles Herrich-Schaffer’s figure of the undescribed 
A, dominicanus, from Hayti, except that it is more parallel-sided and much smaller.
