Division Capsaria Renter. 



Sakona, gen. nov. 



Despite the fact that this genus possesses no collar to the pronotum, I have placed 

 it here temporarily. The presence or absence of the collar is in fact, I believe, a 

 somewhat overrated character. Lomatopleura Rent, has none (or only obscurely 

 indicated), but is placed by its author in his Capsaria. Opium has a wide collar, 

 nevertheless, I believe, is more allied to the Halticaria, while, according to Renter 

 himself, his division Pilophoraria may or may not possess one. The genus has a strong 

 resemblance to the Halticarian Strongylocoris Fieber. 



Pronotum somewhat superficially rugose-pimctured, elytra minutely but strongly 

 punctured. Covered with pale pubescence. Vertex short, strongly marginate, almost 

 vertical, much longer than high ; pronotum strongly declivous. First segment of 

 antennae short, scarcely reaching beyond apex of head, subequal to fourth, second four 

 times as long as first, 2\ times as long as third, which is a little more than twice as long 

 as fourth. Posterior femora subincrassate, tibiae \\ times as long as tarsi, third tarsal 

 segment a little longer than the first, second short. Cuneus declivous. Tibiae 

 tuberculo-maculate, setigerous. Rostrum reaching well beyond apex of posterior 

 coxae. 



(i) Sarona adonias, sp. nov. 



Plate V. fig. 23. 



Sanguineous, or iuscosanguineous, head and apical part of pronotum more dilute. 

 Eyes, apical part of second antennal segment, sterna, etc., black. Cuneus and tibiae 

 yellowish, the former narrowly bordered with sanguineous ; membrane fumate, nervures 

 sanguineous. Vertex one-fourth wider than the two eyes together. Base of pronotum 

 one-half wider than the head (across the eyes), which is a little wider than apical margin 

 of pronotum. 



Long. 51^ mm. ; lat. 2} mm.
