Of Jamsn, Finland. 



The following notes and descriptions of new genera and species 

 present the results of my studies of a miscellaneous collection of 

 exotic Hemiptera Heteroptera kindly forwarded to me for examina-

Family PENTATOMIDAE. 



Subfamily Halyinae.

Glabrous, glaucous-green, dorsum of abdomen bluish black, venter 

 straw-yellow with a sharply defined sublateral longitudinal black 

 band including the stigmata and reaching from the base of the venter 

 to near the apical margin of the last segment. Body above, under- 

 side of head, and pleurae remotely and irregularly puctured with 

 black, still more remotely so toward base of head and in the tri- 

 angular basal area of the scutellum ; pronotum with four subtriangu- 

 lar pale browmish more thickly punctured basal spots, and scutellum 

 ■with a similar oval thickly punctured brown spot at the lateral 

 margins not far from the base ; corium more finely and more irregu- 

 larly punctate than the rest of the upper side; connexival segments 

 more strongly and subconfluently punctate near their base; venter 

 smooth, very slightly strigulose toward the lateral margins. Head 

 as long as pronotum in the middle, with a strongly punctured, partly 

 cupreous, partly brassy-green spot between ocelli and eyes; ocelli 

 three times more distant from each other than from eyes; rostrum
