seen it from Valdivia (Walker), Temuco, Jan. 1906 (Middleton) ; 

 Terra del Fuego, Dec. 1904, several (Crawshay);* Santiago 

 (Rees), and Patagonia (Chubut). (7) Pimpla spnnsa, Hal., is a 

 female Itoplectis. (8) Campoplex fugltivas, Hal., is a Livmerium 

 sensii lato, and single male and female are correctly associated. 

 The Chri/sis there named C. ccerulans, ¥., which seems not to 

 extend south of Guatemala, is much more closely allied to 

 I'ctrachri/sis carinata, Spin. The specimen of Ophioii luteus, 

 Linn., that Haliday records thence is correctly named. 



Many of the genera, ascribed to his species by Cameron in 

 * Biologia Centrali-Americana,' vol. i. pp. 135 (1884)-312 (1886), 

 are incorrect, and some of the Mesolepti are referable to Lisso- 

 notini ; but it is too long a task to touch here, and I will only 

 say that a somewhat small proportion of the types are not in 

 Mus. Brit., being either lost or in the Vienna Museum, where I 

 believe all Bilimek's collection is to be sought. 



RHYNCHOTA INDICA (HETEROPTERA). 

 By W. L. Distant. 



Fam. BERYTIDiE. 

 Capys (iracilis, sp. n. 



^ . Head ochraceous, the lateral margins behind eyes and a 

 somewhat circular series of coarse black punctures at base, enclosing 

 ocelli, black ; pronotum with the anterior area ochraceous, remainder 

 thickly blackly punctate with the margins and a central line ochra- 

 ceous, scutellum blackly punctate ; cerium ochraceous, thickly finely 

 l)lackly punctate ; membrane greyish brown with scattered blackish 

 markings ;" connexivum ochraceous with elongate black spots ; body 

 beneath black, abdomen wath lateral marginal elongate ochraceous 

 spots, coxae ochraceous ; antenna with the first and second joints 

 ochraceous finely speckled with black, fourth joint black, first joint 

 more than twice as long as second, subequal in length to third, apex 

 of first joint distinctly incrassate, fourth short and moderately thick- 

 ened ; head l)etween antennie armed with a moderately long curved 

 spiniform porrect process ; pronotum longer than broad, elongate, 

 only moderately widened posteriorly; membrane reaching apex of 

 abdomen; rostrum about reaching the posterior coxaa, its apical joint 

 black. 



5 . x\bdomen beneath testaceous ; membrane not reaching apex 

 of abdomen. 6^ to 7 millim. 



Hah. Trichinopoly. 



Differs from C. ina'lacaipns, Stal, by the slightly shorter and 

 somewhat more robust spiniform process to the head, the narrower 

 pronotum, and the shorter and more thickened apical joint to 

 the antennae. Dr. Montandon kindly forwarded me this species. 



-■■ Dalla Torre's reference to Dr. Thwaites (Tr. Ent. Soc 1845, Proc. Ivii.) 

 is incorrect, and refers to Cnjptus bellosns, Curt. {Aritoiiis sifjiuttoriua, Fab.).
