^Yith the lateral margins sinuate a little behind the middle and 

 slightly rounded between the sinuosity and the apical angles, lateral 

 angles produced into a moderately long acute spine directed straight 

 outward and black above except the anterior margin. Scutellum 

 with an obovate black impresison at the basal angles. Propleurae 

 and mesopleurae with a punctured aeneous-green spot at the 

 base of the acetabula. Hemelytra slightly passing apex of ab- 

 domen, cerium reaching apical margin of penultimate connexival 

 segment, membrane pale grayish testaceous with the interior basal 

 area black and a curved brownish fascia behind the middle, veins 

 piceous. Abdomen with the black sublateral ventral bands brassy 

 at the base, fifth male ventral segment in the middle scarcely half 

 the length of the fourth, sixth segment a little shorter than the three 

 preceding ones taken together. Legs pale glaucous, femora dotted 

 with black toward apex, tibiae with the keels of the upper side and 

 the apex black (fore legs and all tarsi wanting in type).

Type.—Q.^i. No. 20141, U.S.N.M. 



British New Guinea (Moroka, 3,500 feet, A. S. Anthony). Allied 

 to &. variabilis Tryon, but smaller, not pubescent (except very 

 slightly on the venter), differently colored, much more sparingly 

 punctured, and with longer rostrum. 



COENOMORPHA AMPLA, new species. 



Dull ochraceous, rather densely but irregularly punctured with 

 fuscous black. Head as long as the pronotum in the middle, longer 

 than broad, subparallel between the eyes and the anteapical angle 

 of the juga ; basal part above, as far as a little beyond the eyes, with 

 six subimpressed longitudinal lines, the outermost on each side being 

 broader, inclosing the ocellus, and emitting a branch to the eyes; 

 clypeus and its basel continuation bordered w^ith a black punctulate 

 line; each jugum with two rather broad subimpressed lines; all 

 impressed lines of the head black and thickly punctulate, their inter- 

 spaces and the clypeus impunctate and a little elevated ; apical angles 

 of juga approximated over the tip of the clypeus; under side of 

 head thickly punctulate with black, except the bucculae and a vitta 

 between the inferior margin of the eyes and the base of the antennae; 

 rostrum somewhat passing base of fifth ventral segment, fuscous 

 beneath except at apex of third joint, last joint piceous; antennae 

 pale castaneous, base of the first three joints narrowly ochraceous, 

 second and third joints of equal length '(last two joints missing). 

 Pronotum two and one-half times broader than its median length, 

 anteriorly depressed between the somewhat elevated cicatrical areas ; 

 immediately within the medially very slightly sinute lateral margins
