the latter being entirely smooth, and without punctuation right 

 up to the anterior margin ; pronotum brilliant ochraceous with a 

 large black triangular spot at the base, this spot a little larger 

 than the scutellum and its apex extending forwards to near the 

 cicatrices ; the punctuation A^ery faint and concolorous, ochraceous 

 on the pale areas, black on the triangular area ; scutellum a little 

 longer than broad at base, entirely black, smooth at base, the 

 punctures stronger than on the pronotum, but sparse and unequal 

 on the posterior two-thirds, apex slightly enlarged, a little spatu- 

 late, narrowly rounded and brownish ; corium flavesceut, smooth 

 and brilliant at the base and on the disk, claval suture with a 

 black fascia a little enlarged behind at the internal angle of the 

 corium, margin and striated submai-ginal punctures narrowly black, 

 with a large black spot covering the apical angle, the punctuation 

 dense but very superficial ; membrane yellow at the interna! angle, 

 with a median transverse brown suffusion and hyaline at apex 

 which distinctly passes the abdominal apex ; antennae mutilated, 

 first joint ochraceous, very strong, second joint entirely black ; 

 head beneath and prosternum ochraceous without spots, the latter 

 with dense and concolorous punctuation ; meso- and metasterna 

 black, with some pale patches scattered with black punctures ; 

 orifices, coxae and legs yellow without spots ; abdomen beneath 

 brilliant black with the posterior margin of the last segment very 

 narrowly ochraceous." {MontanclGn.) 



Length 4 to 5 millim. 



Hah. i3engal ; Mandar and Barway. 



By the kind assistance of Dr. Schouteden, I have been able to 

 figure the type of this species. 



Geocoris pulvisculatus. (Vol. II, p. 30.) 



When I originally described this species from a single Burmese 

 carded specimen, I was unable to describe the underside of the 

 body. From Indian examples recently received, the body beneath 

 and legs are seen to be pale luteous ; antennae with the third 

 joint shorter than second or fourth joints which are subequal in 

 length ; the rostrum imperfectly seen in the carded type is found 

 to have the first and second joints subequal in length, not first 

 longer than second as originally described, its apical joint almost 

 reaching the posterior coxae ; sternum coarsely punctate ; the 

 pronotal cicatrices are sometimes a little darker in hue.

Head ochraceous, the eyes visibly pedunculate, a somewhat 

 obsolete central impressed line not reaching base; antennae with 

 the first and fourth joints dull ochraceous, the second and third 

 joints black, pronotum ochraceous, very coarsely blackly punctate,
