HETEROPTEKA. 

 PENTAIOMIN^. 



Ileeda sudana, sp. n. 



Bi'ownish-ochraceous, thickly and darkly punctate. Head with the lateral mar- 

 gins more coarsely and darkly punctate ; antennte oehraceous,apex of the third joint 

 and more than apical half of the fourth joint dark brownish. Pronotum with the 

 frontal and anterior-lateral margins coarsely and more darkly punctate, similar 

 punctures enclosing a pale ocliraceous space at centre of anterior area ; space from 

 between lateral angles to base very darkly punctate. Scutellum very darkly punc- 

 tate, the lateral margins and apex narrowly ocliraceous. Corium with the base of 

 lateral margins ochi'aceous. Body beneath and legs pale ocliraceous. 



The pronotum is somewhat abruptly deflexed from between the lateral angles, 

 which are shortly, obtusely, and bluntly produced and slightly recurved upwardly ; 

 the third and fourth joints of the antennae are subequal in length and a little longer 

 than the second joint ; rostrum reaching the posterior coxae and slightly piceous 

 at apex. Long-j 12 mm. ; exp. pronot. angl., 7 mm. 



Hal). : Central Africa, Niam Niam Country. (Coll. Dist.). 

 The blunt and comparatively non-produced lateral angles of tlie 

 pronotum are a salient feature in this species. 



ACOLOBA MALLEATA, Sp. n. 



Ocliraceous; above coarsely and darkly punctate, beneath much more finely 

 punctate. Head with the margins of the central lobe and the inner margins of the 

 lateral lobes brownish ; central basal margin and posterior margins of eyes blackish. 

 Membrane brownish-ochraceous. 



Antennae with the second joint subequal in length, or slightly longer than the 

 third joint ; rostrum about reaching the intermediate cox® ; head long, triangular, 

 the apices of the lateral lobes slightly foveate and rounded anteriorly ; pronotum 

 with three distinct nari'ow, longitudinal, levigate fasciae on disc, the central one

 anterior area ; scutellum transversely rugulose. Long., 15 mm. 



Rab. : S. E. Africa, Delagoa Bay. (Coll. Dist.).

 the head, different colour, relative lengths of the second and third 

 joints of the antennae, &c. 



Ilipla natalicola, sp. n.

head, lateral margins of the pronotum, a large levigate spot near each basal angle 



of the scutellum, anterior lateral margins of the corium, connexivum, body beneath,
