narrowed in front, anteriorly with a slight collai'-like constriction, 

 not very distinctly punctured, on the cicatrisant region, on each 

 side, a short transverse linear impression, and from the inner end 

 of each runs a shallow longitudinal furrow, these furrows con- 

 verging to the hind mai-gin ; clavus not punctured, bordered aloug 

 each margin with a row of very tine brown dots ; similar rows of 

 dots also occur on the corium, in the membranal division and on the 

 outer side of the subcostal principal vein; antennae with the first 

 joint scarcely as long as the long axis of the eyes, scarcely reaching 

 beyond clypeus, second joint about one and a quarter times as 

 long as third which is rather shorter than the elongate fourth ; 

 rostrum slightly passing the anterior coxae, first joint extending to 

 hind border of throat and much longer than second ; upperside 

 with scattered upright hairs ; abdomen beneath with short woolly 

 hairs." (Breddin). 



" Length including membrane 3| millim."

I have not seen this species. Breddin has proposed a new 

 genus (Ci/moninus for its reception), which from the characters 

 given appears to be of scarcely subgeneric value and it is there- 

 fore not used in this enumeration.

" S (?). Clear pale rust-brown, extreme tip of hind angle of 

 corium and the claw"s black ; last joint of antennae, excepting base, 

 brownish. The smallest species known to me ; ocelli scarcely one 

 and a half times as far removed from each other as from eyes ; 

 apices of juga obtuse, not projecting; pronotum shorter and more 

 strongly arched than in the European species, thickly punctate, 

 only between the cicatrices with a faint trace of a median keel ; 

 scutellum punctate with a faint keel ; corium both outside and 

 inside strongly and regularly punctate, without a smooth longi- 

 tudinal vein ; first joint of antennae not quite reaching tip of 

 clypeus, second not thicker and at most about one-fourth shorter 

 than third, near the end faintly clubbed, fourth very slender, 

 spindle-shaped, longer than second, a little shorter than third."
