Signoret, which was placed by Stal in a distinct division of that 



genus, belongs to Eu7^ymenida. 



Subfamily Acanthosomatinae. 



LANOPIS ALGESCENS, new species. 



Orchraceous, above and on the pleurae punctured with fuscous; 

 posterior part of pronotum and the corium dark brownish olivaceous; 

 scutellum brownish ochraceous; membrane fuscous, the veins not 

 darker; mesosternum in the middle, a small metapleural spot at the 

 apex of the orificial ridge, a lateral line at the basal angles of the 

 abdominal segments (visible from above and from beneath), and a 

 dot at the apical angles of the ochraceous connexival segments black ; 

 dorsum of abdomen also black, but the three last segments (except 

 apical half of the last one) sanguineous, a more or less distinct basal 

 fascia to the connexial segments brownish ; venter usually and some- 

 times pleurae densely sprinkled with purplish or dark ferruginous; 

 antennae brownish ochraceous, a stripe to the interior side of the 

 basal joint and the two (rarely three) last joints fuscous; rostrum 

 ochraceous, last joint (except base) pitch black; legs ochraceous, 

 femora fulvous sprinkled with purplish, apex of tibiae, first tarsal 

 joint, and apex of second joint fuscous. Head as long as broad, 

 sparsely punctate; juga scarcely longer than clypeus but a little 

 convergent at apex, making the cl.ypeus narrower at apex than a little 

 behind it, from Avhich point the clypeus gradually narrows to the 

 acute base; first antennal joint very distinctly passing apex of head, 

 second joint about twice the length of first, third as long as first, 

 fourth one-half longer than third, fifth a little longer than fourth; 

 rostrum reaching hind coxae, second joint a little longer than third, 

 and this a little longer than fourth. Pronotum somewhat rugose, 

 more coarsely and densely punctured than the head, and with an 

 oblique impression somewhat inside the posterior half of the antero- 

 lateral margins, the anterior ends of these impressions united by a 

 more or less distinct transverse impression which sometimes is inter- 

 rupted by two irregular flattened tubercles; anterolateral margins 

 sinuate behind the apical angles, then rounded, the rounded part be- 

 ing longer than the sinuate one; lateral angles broadly prominent 

 outward, subangularly rounded at apex, posterior lateral margins 

 roundedly angular at the costal margin of the corium, more or less 

 distinctly sinuate behind the lateral angles. Scutellum strongly and 

 sparsely punctate, the apical half with a median keel, the apex 

 spatulate. Pleurae strongly and rather thinly punctate ; the opaque
