Togodolentus new genus. 

 Dorsal parts dull. Head not transverse, submerged to eyes, across 

 eyes as wide as anterior margin of pronotum ; preocular sides of head 

 to base of antennse nearly as long as eye. Bucculas lightly elevated, 

 meeting in an obtuse angle on a line drawn across middle of eyes. 

 Rostrum with basal segment extended to base of head, second seg- 

 ment long, more than one-third longer than third, apex of fourth 

 segment reaching just past middle coxje. Antennae very long, slender 

 and nude; first segment long, longer than head, apex of tylus not 

 reaching middle point of this segment, second segment not twice as 

 long as basal, third segment about one-fourth shorter than second, 

 apical segment one-third shorter than third. Pronotum not trans- 

 verse, rather parallel sided, the lateral edges widely expanded and 

 reflexed, a little widened between the lobes; anterior lobe subquadrate, 

 disk obsoletely punctate ; anterior margin lightly concave, submargin 

 depressed and bounded behind by a series of punctures; posterior lobe 

 coarsely punctate; posterior margin strongly concave. Scutellum 

 longer than wide, punctate. Clavus not deflected to corium, widened 

 posteriorly, rather closely and irregularly punctate. Commissure 

 nearly as long as scutellum. Corium flattened, closely punctate ; costal 

 margin lamellary expanded, reflexed, pale. Membrane (in brachyp- 

 terous forms) aborted, exposing fifth and sixth abdominal segments. 

 Anterior femur much incrassate, armed with a few well developed 

 teeth. Anterior tibia nearly straight. Posterior tibia not pilose but 

 provided with a few fine very short bristles. Posterior tarsus with 

 the basal segment twice as long as second and third segments together. 

 Fourth ventral segment of the abdomen laterally provided with but 

 two anteriorly placed opaque spots, therefore this genus should be 

 placed in the tribe Lethseini, close to the genus Ercmocoris. 



Togodolentus genuinus new species. 



Form narrow ovate. Head except apex, anterior lobe of the pronotum, 

 scutellum, hcmielytra except laterally, apex of the third and all of the fourth 

 segment of the antennae dull fusco-ferrugineous ; apex of tylus, two basal 

 segments and basal half of third segment of antennae, rostrum, explanate 

 lateral margins and posterior lobe of pronotum for the most part, costal mar- 

 gins of the corium, second and third pairs of legs and anterior tibia, ochra- 

 ceous. Anterior femora, sub-apex of posterior femora and body beneath, 

 castaneous ; acetabulffi, posterior margin of pro- and metasternum slightly
