to this the lateral margin is roinuled off, posterior margin sinu- 

 ated, leaving a broad area of the base of seutellum uncovered ; 

 scutellum wide, triangular, prominently elevated, with the basal 

 area convex, and acutely margined each side, the posterior lobe 

 separated from the former by a deep transverse depression, apex 

 sub-acute; legs long and slender, the tarsi conspicuously long, 

 with the basal joint very short, scarcely more than half the 

 length of the second, the second very long, and the apical joint 

 about two-thirds as long as the second. Hemelytra very long, 

 the membrane (d) almost as long as the corium and nearly 

 twice as wide, the areole long and very wide, elliptical ; costal 

 margin nearly straight, narrow, feebly reflexed. Venter greatly 

 contracted from behind the base to near the apex. 



C. insignis. New sp. 



Fuliginous, with the body piceous, above finely minutely 

 pubescent, opaque. Head cinnabar red, not distinctly punc- 

 tate, bald, infuscated behind the eyes, with an incised longi- 

 tidual line on base of vertex, and a point next each eye, eyes 

 brown, antennae pale rufo-piceous at base, fuscous throughout 

 the other parts ; rostrum more or less rufo-piceous, darker at 

 base. Pronotum rufous anteriorly, and continuing upon the 

 pleural areas and sternum, the posterior lobe fuliginous, min- 

 utely pubescent and sparsely obsoletely punctate. Meso- and 

 meta-sternum rufo-piceous, highly polished. Legs rufous, 

 including the coxae, with the tarsi and tip of the tibiae infus- 

 cated or piceous. Scutellum fuliginous on the basal lobe, rufous 

 on the posterior division, the surface dull, almost bald, not 

 distinctly punctate. Hemelytra thin, fuliginous or pale 

 fuscous, dull, minutely pubescent, a long, somewhat triangular, 

 pale yellow streak occupies nearly the basal half of the costa 

 and extends back diagonally to near the tip next the clavus ; 

 the cuneus with a spot of the same color tapering along the 

 apical margin of the corium ; membrane very long and wide, 

 bluntly rounded at tip, fuliginous, with a large whitish ragged 

 spot as base, including the inner end of the areole ; wings 

 white. Abdomen blackish piceous, highly polished, fringed 

 with minute bristles on the margins and sides of the segments.
