NO. 2150. SOME NEW HETEROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA—BERGROTH. 229 



the head and prosternum are not distinctly developed in all species of 

 lleteropiwus and Platymicrus^ these genera must certainly be placed 

 in Stal's division 50 (1) near Crosclus Stal. The Indian genus Mar- 

 hodus Distant is very closely related to Heteropinus^ and was quite 

 correctly placed by Distant after Epirodera Westwood. On the 

 other hand, Distant ^ wrongly transferred the genus Croscius to the 

 vicinity of Opinus. 



Subfamily Ploiariinae. 



STENOLAEMUS SCHWARZII, new species. 



Rather longly pilose; ground-color of body, including hemelytra, 

 antennae, and legs, whitish. Head with the whole underside, the 

 anteocular part, and the sides of the postocular part fuscous; rostrum 

 pale brown; first joint of antennae a little longer than pronotum, 

 with four fuscous annuli, second joint one-sixth shorter than first, 

 with the base, apex, and two annuli fuscous, third and fourth joints 

 fuscous, third as long as fore tarsi, fourth one-half longer than third ; 

 pilosity of first antennal joint long and moderately thick, the three 

 remaining joints thickly but very shortly pilose, the second with a 

 few longer hairs above near the base; postocular part of head bi- 

 tuberculate, longitudinally impressed in the middle. Prothorax with 

 two fuscous vittae above on the anterior tumid part of the fore lobe, 

 and with a fuscous vitta on the acetabula, the tumid part transversely 

 impressed at the sides, which are rounded behind the impression; 

 posterior petiolated part of this lobe a little shorter than the anterior 

 part, with a lateral vitta and a median prosternal vitta fuscous, these 

 vittae confluent anteriorly; posterior pronotal lobe with these blunt 

 longitudinal ridges, the lateral ridges ending posteriorly on the disk 

 in a small tubercle, lateral angles tuberculate, lateral margins slightly 

 rounded anteriorly, basal margin subangularly sinuate. Scutellar 

 spine suberect, fuscous. Hemelytra glabrous except costal margin 

 of corium, which is densely fringed with short curved hairs; meso- 

 corium behind the middle with four or five transverse fuscous bars 

 which are widened at their interior end ; the large triangular anterior 

 basal cell of the membrane fuscous, with two feeble whitish trans- 

 verse veins; posterior basal cell of membrane fuscous, excepting ex- 

 terior border, and longitudinally divided by a white vein emitting 

 one or two short branches laterally; rest of membrane with some 

 small fuscous spots and at the interior border behind the posterior 

 basal cell with three larger transverse fasciate fuscous spots; termi- 

 nal cell and apex of the preceding cells fuscous, mottled with whitish ; 

 all hemelytral veins whitish. Wings whitish. Abdomen somewhat 

 infuscated on the back, toward the apex of the venter, and at the
