146 HEMIPTERA. 



with short prominent black hairs ; the first joint red at the 

 base and tip, the third joint narrowly red at the base and with 

 a hroacl red ring in the centre^ the very slender base of the 

 fourth joint also red. 



Pronotum punctured, narrowed in front, with the anterior 

 angles rounded, so that it is less wide than the base of the 

 head measured across the eyes, posterior margin lutescent, the 

 black punctures stronger than in front ; posterior angles 

 obtuse, just within them a slightly raised short line, which is 

 yellowish. 



Elytra at the base of the width of the pronotum ; clavus 

 luteous, Avith five rows of black punctures, the central rows 

 confluent ; corium luteous, the veins concolorous, but between 

 them several rows of black punctures often confluent and 

 forming black spots, but also leaving clear spaces, of which 

 one near the base and another on the disk are more con- 

 spicuous ; the extreme lateral margin luteous, apex black. 

 Membrane smoky brown, at its junction with the corium 

 clear white (with the exception of a round black dot close to 

 the corium) ; the white colour at the internal angle spreads 

 into a large blotch, and at the external angle forms a smaller 

 blotch ; just beneath the white colour, about half-way across 

 the membrane, three angulated black marks, the central one 

 the largest, are placed between the veins, which are yellow- 

 ish. Legs slightly hairy, thighs black, red at the base and 

 tip, tibiae red, slightly blackened at the extremities, tarsi red- 

 dish, the terminal joint black. 



Underside black. 



Length 2|"'.
