nearly truncate apically, and the specimen seems to be a $ . 

 The pronotum is strongly and coarsely punctured, the head and 



abdomen less so. 



T. pothetias sp. nov. 



Head testaceous, lateral margins and median lobe, as well as the 

 lateral margins basal of the eyes, mostly black. Pronotum testaceous, 

 strongly punctured and clouded with black ; scutellum., etc., black, pleu- 

 rites partly testaceous. Length, 16 mill. ; width across shoulders, 7 

 mill.

POLIO CORIS Ren. nov. 



I should have allied this to Tclcoschistits; had not Scudder 

 stated that the scutellum does not reach halfway to the apex 

 of the abdomen. 



Ovoid : Head longer than wide between the eyes, the lobes 

 about equally long, the head rounded apically ; the lateral lobes 

 strongly sinuate laterally, the first segment of the antennae 

 reaching just beyond the apex of the head, the second about 

 four times as long as the first. The pronotum is roundly emar- 

 ginate apically, snbtruncate behind, lateral margins rounded 

 and not prominent, the base about three times as wide as the 

 apical margin. The scutellum reaches halfway to the apex of 

 the abdomen, and is apparently somewhat rounded posteriorly ; 

 it is closely punctured (as apparently also the pronotum). Teg- 

 mina typically Pentatomine, the membrane with many parallel 

 longitudinal veins. Fore tibiae sulcate, the tarsi bi ( ? tri) seg- 

 mentate, the apical segment much the longest and thickest. 



P. amnesis sp. nov. 



More or less dark, how much so is difficult to say. The antennae are 

 apparently banded. Tegmina pale fuscous. Length, 14^ mill. ; 

 breadth, 7 mill.

This seems to agree fairly well with recent species of Rcpip- 

 ta, but the antennal proportions are different, 

 mentate, the apical segment much the longest and thickest, 

 but the antennal proportions are different.
