200 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
single specimens, named by Signoret, in litt., as C. globulus, C. annulipes, and C. nigrifrons, 
appear to belong to C. funesta; they are all labelled as from Mexico. 
We figure a specimen of the type form and a variety, both from Teapa in Tabasco. 
2. Clastoptera globosa, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 16.) 
Rotundata, globosa, nitidiuscula, nigra, capite antice obscure rufo-brunneo, metopidio flavo ; pronoto fere levi; 
scutello (apice excepto) flavo, vel toto nigro; tegminibus postice dilatatis, clavo distincte punctato, corio 
postico fere levi; corpore subtus nigro, coxis pedibusque flavo-testaceis. 
A comparatively large, globose species, black and rather shining, with the head reddish-yellow in front and 
the metopidium light yellow ; pronotum with slight traces of transverse rugosities and sometimes with a 
trace of a central line ; scutellum almost entirely yellow or quite black ; tegmina dilated behind and very 
convex ; corium distinctly punctured ; rostrum moderately long, yellow, with the apex black; underside 
black; coxe and legs yellow or testaceous-yellow. 
Long. 4—44 millim.; lat. max. 3-33 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Tepetlapa 3000 feet and Chilpancingo 4600 feet, both in Guerrero 
(H. H. Smith); Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
In structure and coloration this insect closely resembles certain varieties of C. funesta, 
but it is so very much larger, being about four times the bulk of ordinary specimens of 
that species, that it can hardly be included in it. 
An example from San Gerdnimo is figured. 
There are two specimens in our collection which I have doubtfully referred to 
this species—one from XKucumanatlan in Guerrero and one from Teapa in Tabasco 
(H. H. Smith); they are somewhat more oblong than the specimens above referred to, 
black, with very indistinct lighter markings on the scutellum and tegmina. 
3. Clastoptera compta, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 17.) 
Oblonga, parva, nitidiuscula, nigra, metopidio testaceo ; pronoto fere glabro, vel leviter impresso-lineato, vitté 
lata stramined ; scutello nigro immaculato; tegminibus plus minusve distincte punctatis, parte dimidia 
apicali plus minusve hyalina, macula magna ad medium, alidque parva ad marginem, stramineis; callis 
sat magnis colore flavo circumdatis ; corpore subtus nigro, pedibus flavis. 
A small, oblong, slightly shining species ; black, with the metopidium testaceous, faintly lined with fuscous ; 
pronotum almost glabrous or with fine impressed lines, with a broad straw-coloured band across the 
middle; tegmina slightly dilated behind, more or less distinctly punctured, with a large straw-coloured 
spot at the middle extending across the clavus and on to the corium, and apparently interrupted by the 
claval vertex ; there is also a small light spot at the margin; these markings are slightly variable in some 
cases, but as a rule they are very constant ; apical half of the tegmina more or less broadly hyaline ; the 
apical callosities distinct and surrounded with yellow; underside black ; legs yellow. 
Long. 3 millim.; lat. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Signoret, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), Chilpancingo in Guerrero, Teapa 
in Tabasco (H. H. Smith), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann). 
The specimens in the Vienna Museum are labelled C. thoracica, Sign., in litt.; as, 
however, there is nothing remarkable about the shape of the thorax, I have not adopted 
the name. 
A fair series has been received from Teapa, one of which is figured.
