118 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
8. Micrutalis discalis. 
Horiola discalis, Walk. List of Homopt. Ins., Suppl. p. 154’. 
Hab. Mexico, Vera Cruz (Sallé +). 
This is a very pretty little species, yellowish in front, deep black abruptly behind, 
and white at the extreme tip. I have not seen another specimen like it, but I am of 
opinion that it will very probably prove to be a variety of M. binaria. 
4. Micrutalis pallens, sp. n. 
Tota pallide testacea, vel capite notis quibusdam fuscis, pectoreque ad partem infuscato, tegminibus totis 
hyalinis; pronoto dense subtiliterque punctato ad apicem interdum obscuriori, tegminibus multo breviori ; 
pedibus testaceis, tarsis unicoloribus vel partem nigricantibus. 
Entirely pale testaceous, or with the head, the chest, the extreme apex of the pronotum (or the sides of the 
apical portion), and the tarsi sometimes marked with darker colour; pronotum very thickly and finely 
punctured, but in this point somewhat variable ; shoulders rather prominent, if viewed from above; tegmina 
and wings clear hyaline. 
Long. 3 millim.; lat. 13-2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero, Atoyac in Vera Cruz, Teapa in ‘Tabasco 
(Hi. H. Smith). 
This insect may at once be known by its uniform colour; as far as structure goes it 
closely resembles WM. btnaria, and may be only a variety of that species. 
5. Micrutalis malleifera, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 1, 1a.) 
Nigra, capite antice albido, ad basin nigro; pronoto antice lato, humeris vix prominulis, dorso a latere viso fere 
recto, subtilissime punctato, subalutaceo, nigro, linea angusta supra caput, marginibus humerorum, macula 
minuta supra hoc, macula utrinque lata ad marginem pone medium, apiceque ipso, albidis; tegminibus 
totis hyalinis, venis indistinctis; abdomine testaceo-albido; pectore abrupte nigro ; pedibus albidis, plus 
minusve infuscatis. 
A moderate-sized species, with the head whitish in front and black at the base; the pronotum is very finely 
punctured and subalutaceous, with the dorsum almost straight, if viewed from the side, black, with the 
margins above the head and near the shoulders, and a minute spot near the shoulders, whitish ; behind 
the middle there are two white patches at the margins, which constrict the black colour to a narrow band, 
and these, with the white apex, form a mallet-shaped large black marking covering nearly the whole 
pronotum ; the tegmina are entirely hyaline, with indistinct veins; the abdomen is testaceous-white, the 
chest being abruptly black; legs whitish-testaceous, more or less infuscate. 
Long. 4 millim.; lat. int. hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Muxico, Orizaba (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.; H. H. Smith & F. D. Godman). 
The species appears to be very distinct in its extreme form, but there are some 
small specimens in the Vienna Museum collection which seem to approach certain 
varieties of UM. binaria. | 
6. Micrutalis viridicollis, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 2, 2a.) 
Robusta, capite longo, nigro-brunneo, lined longitudinali testacea; oculis prominulis ; pronoto antice lato, 
utrinque fortiter impresso, distincte fortius punctato, a latere viso rotundato-elevato, ante apicem brevem 
depresso, humeris prominulis, nigro, vitté lata virescenti semicirculari a medio extensé, maculam magnam
