rostrum reaching the anterior coxae ; anterior femora moderately 

 incrassated, obscm*ely spinous beneath.

By the uniformly coloured corium and membrane allied to 

 M. subanratus, Dist. (vol. ii, p. 26), and M. vniformis, Dist. (ante, 

 p. 20). From both it differs and is sub-generically distinct by the 

 shorter and comparatively broader pronotum and the short posterior 

 area or lobe, the short corium, &c. 



Genus ISCHNODEMUS. (Vol. II, p. 27.)

Head, pronotum, scutellum, abdomen above, and body beneath 

 black ; corium dull ochraceous, streaked longitudinally with cas- 

 taneous brown ; membrane (reflecting the dark abdomen beneath) 

 black ; femora black, their apices and the whole of the tibiae and 

 tarsi brownish ochraceous ; antennae brownish ochraceous, apical 

 joint (excluding base) blackish, second joint slightly longer than 

 the third, fourth joint considerably longest ; vertex thickly finely 

 granulose ; pronotum coarsely punctate and granulose, finely palely 

 pilose, more longly pilose on lateral margins, some obscure 

 tuberculous elevations on anterior disk ; scutellum granulose 

 and punctate, palely pilose, a little depressed on disk ; corium 

 somewhat strongly palely pilose, especially on lateral margins ; 

 membrane neither reaching the abdominal apex nor covering the 

 connexivum, which is exposed for nearly its entire length. 



Length 2^ to 3 millim. 



Hah. Sombay Province ; Matheran, 2500 feet {Pusa Coll.). 



Differing from /. noctulus, Dist. (a'oI. ii, p. 27), by its smaller size, 

 the exposed connexivum, absence of subapical pale spot to mem- 

 brane, the granulose head, pronotum and scutellum, pale anterior 

 tibiae, &c. I have examined a series of this species, but, unfor- 

 tunately, all the specimens were in a somewhat greasy conditio)], 

 which rendered the colour-characters more or less difficult to 

 identify, especially as regards the hemelytra.

 (1909) 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum black, palely pilose ; coriuui 

 pale ochraceous, with the basal angle and a large spot near apex 

 black ; membrane blackish, its basal angle and a spot near the 

 apical margins of corium pale' ochraceous ; body beneath black: 

 femora black, their apices and the whole of the tibiae and tarsi 

 pale ochraceous ; antennae black, second joint a little longer 

 than third, fourth longest and thickest ; vertex finely granulose, 

 subacutely prominent anteriorly ; pronotum somewhat coarsely 

 granulose, about as long as broad at base, the lateral margins a
