450 APPENDIX. PENTATOMID.Ti. 



apical edge entirely or nearly so, glossy, flavescent, sometimes 

 tinted with brownish ; in the anterior depressions of the basal 

 gibbosities the scutellumis black, therefore on the median line (at 

 the point of contact and fusion of two spiniform projections), in 

 the angles and level with the glossy tuft uniting the angular 

 callosities to the median projections, laterally between the glossy 

 median bands and ' en arriere,' the scutellum exhibits a strong 

 brownish or broun puncturation, more or less shining ; corium of 

 a hrownish-flavescent or olivaceous tint, sometimes in part of a 

 clear green (it is seldom the normal coloration ?), a little piceous 

 outwardly, the puncturation distinetly brownish, more so on the 

 disk which is ornamented a little behind the middle by a large 

 impunctate spot of a piceous or brownish-piceous coloration ; 

 membrane either with the veins broadly marked with brown in 

 the median zone (little or hardly outwardly) and when the two 

 membranes are superposed in repose have thus the aspect of a 

 brown median band, distally enlarged; connexivum brown, more 

 or less shining, excepting the level of the marginal tubercles and 

 the extreme external margin \^'here it is flavescent, puncturation 

 distinct, tubercles glossy ; sternum inwardly of a brilliant black or 

 piceous, a little tinted with green, the hips, furrows, the external 

 part, and the posterior area of the segments on the contrary 

 flavescent, or more often tinted more or less strongly with 

 brownish ; the anterior external part of the presternum is callous, 

 as well as a more or less distinct straight band separating from 

 each edge of the sternum the external flavescent zone of the 

 interior dark zone ; legs flavescent, the femora having the basal 

 half as well as an anteapical annulation either level with the 

 spine or the convexity replacing it, the tibiae having an antemedian 

 annulation and the extremity darkened, the anterior tibiae have 

 the distal half of a fine shining violaceous black, or blue, or green ; 

 tarsi with the first joint uniformly darkened to the apex, the last 

 joint black, excepting the base ; abdomen beneath piceous, more 

 or less deep, tending to black (on the suture of the segments), the 

 base (excepting the median pi'ojection) of a brilliant black, from 

 each edge a large lateral zone and the sixth segment, excepting 

 at the base, flavescent or brownish-flavescent, more or less callous, 

 either wholly or less glossy and scarcely punctate as usual ; the 

 brown disk is more distinctly punctate otttwardly, the puncturation 

 effaced near the median line, it exhibits moreover from each edge 

 a short and straight flavescent band, on the fotirth segment and 

 the distal part of the third, a little near an equal distance from 

 the external border and the median line, which is at the same time 

 often paler. c5' and 2 •'" (ScJwuteden.)

I have been unable to abbreviate the somewhat lengthy 

 diagnosis of Schotiteden, not having seen the species.
