 from Celebes. 



Family REDUVIIDAE. 



Subfamily Reduviinae. 



HETEROPINUS CORTICALIS, new species. 



Above sparingly shortly erectly setose, the hairs on the head 

 longer; head, pronotum, and scutellum pitchy ferruginous, shining; 

 scutellar keels, clavus, and corium buffy ochraceous, apex of clavus 

 infuscated, exocorium with a rusty tinge; membrane black, its in- 

 terior basal part (as far as to the exterior margin of the outer basal 

 cell) buffy ochraceous but including an oblong fuscous spot at the 

 base of the inner basal cell; connexivum and body beneath luteous; 

 antennae dark testaceous; rostrum and legs luteous (hind legs want- 

 ing). Head (excluding the neck) broader than long, with a long 

 hair before each ocellus and at the inner margin of the eyes, the few 

 other hairs being somewhat shorter, the space between the eyes about 

 four times broader than an eye; ocelli very wide apart; the throat 

 with a few rigid hairs arising from very small granules; rostrum 

 pubescent; antennae pilose, first joint somewhat passing apex of 

 head, second as long as the head's breadth, the adventitious jointlet 

 interposed between the two first joints very short, not longer than 

 broad., third and fourth joints capillary, subequal in length, each a 

 little shorter than second, fourth still finer and more hairlike than 

 third. Pronotum a trifle over two times broader than head ; apical 

 angles very broadly rounded, effaced, with no trace of a tubercle, the 

 transverse impression (except its middle part) crenulated; anterior 

 lobe with the median impression impunctate; disk a little convex, 

 smooth but with a small fovea on each side; the lateral margins 

 studded with a row of small acute tubercles, each of which bears a 

 short hair easily coming off; posterior lobe scarcely longer than 

 anterior lobe with the median impression punctate, the lateral angles 

 rounded, somewhat gibbous, not prominent. Scuttellum with a 

 sharply defined three-branched Y-shaped carination. Prosternum 

 with stiff fuscous hairs at the middle of the apical margin ; acetabula 

 moderately tumid, not visible from above. Mesosternum with a broad
