452 APPENDIX. PENTATOMIDiE, 



2732. Cantliecona liumeralis, sp. n. 



Head about as long as breadth between the outer margins of 

 eyes, witli longitudinal series of wrinkled metallic green punc- 

 tures, situate on the outer and inner margins of the lateral lobes, 

 and on the basal area of the central lobe ; antennse pale testaceous, 

 basal joint reaching very little more than half way between its base 

 and apex of head, second, third, and fourth joints almost subequal 

 in length ; pronotum less than half the breadth between apices of 

 lateral angles, ochraceous-brown with metallic green shadings, 

 the anterior lateral areas, anterior margins, two transverse callous 

 spots on anterior area, and a central longitudinal line ochraceous, 

 very coarsely and darkly punctate, the lateral angles very strongly 

 transversely produced, rugosely punctate, slightly toothed behind 

 before apices which are subacute and purplish black ; scutellum 

 metallic green, coarsely punctate, anterior and lateral margins 

 (narrowly), an oblique line near each basal angle, and the apex 

 (broadly) pale ochraceous, the latter very sparsely darkly punc- 

 tate ; corium purplish-green, thickly and finely punctate, the 

 costal area thickly produced and wrinkled with metallic green ; 

 membrane fuscous-brown, with a large pale spot on inner and 

 outer margins ; body beneath and legs ochraceous ; lateral pronotal 

 spines beneath (entirely) and the lateral areas of sternum and 

 abdomen (more or less) metallic green and punctate ; apices of 

 posterior femora piceous-brown, and a central spot of the same 

 colour to the last abdominal segment ; rostrum about reaching the 

 posterior coxae, ochraceous, with its apical joint castaneous ; 

 abdomen with a short basal spine between the intermediate and 

 posterior coxae, the margins of the metasternum prominently 

 raised and carinate ; anterior femora strongly spined near their 

 extremities. 



Length (^ inch membrane 15 ; breadth between pronotal angles 

 10 millim.

 Hi, p. 45 (1907). 



Schouteden in sinking cognata as a synonym of javana has over- 

 looked the structural differences I gave in my original description, 

 and which are constant in a larger series of each species now 

 contained in my collection. 



"Very closely allied to C. javana, Dall., and in general appear- 

 ance perfectly resembling that species, but differing in having the 

 produced lateral angles of the pronotum almost straight, and not 

 curved and directed forwardly, and with their apices obtusely and 

 not long and acutely spinous as in the Javan species." (Distant.)
