298 APPETs^DIX. — ATSTTHOCORIDtE. 



corium as far as apex of embolium about as long as posterior 

 tibiae, cuneal area large and distinctly separated ; membrane 

 considerably passing abdominal apex ; legs moderately slender, 

 setose. 



The structure of the pronotum and scutellum are the principal 

 characteristics of this genus ; the length of tlie head allies it to 

 Arnulphus, 



3072. Galchana humeralis, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum and hemelytra shining black, dis- 

 tinctly and somewhat ochraceously pilose ; basal costal margin of

 apex of embolium, ochraceous ; membrane pitchy brown with two 

 spots near base of outer margin and a spot on inner margin 

 greyish - white ; body beneath black; femora piceous, their 

 extreme bases and apices and the whole of the tibiae ochraceous, 

 tarsi ochraceous with their apices blackish ; antennas black,

Saunders (Hem. Het. Brit, "islds. p. 196, 1892) has shortly 

 but concisely diagnosed this genus as follows : — " Head with the 

 eyes not touching the pronotum ; ocelli placed posteriorly, close 

 to the inner margin of the eyes ; antennae with the second joint 

 not nearly so long as the third and fourth together ; rostrum 

 short, reacliing to about the anterior coxae; pronotum with a 

 well-marked apical collar, sides behind it more or less rounded, 

 base longly sinuate ; scutellum impressed at the base ; elytra 

 always developed, their sides subparallel or slightly rounded ; 

 legs simple, posteiuor coxae close together, the metusternum pro- 

 duced between them in a narrowly rounded lobe." {Saunders.)
