HEMIPTERA 



Baracus CTen. nov. 



143 



Allied to Sarona Kirk., but at once distinguished by the sinuately emarginate base 

 of pronotum, and by the callosely elevated scutellum. Vertex strongly marginate at 

 base, covering pronotum anteriorly, the latter having an exceedingly short collar. 

 Interolateral margins of eyes distinctly diverging apically. Pronotum and scutellum 

 transversely rugulose. Median nervure of corium well developed.

Plate IV. fig. 21. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum, and elytra, dark sienna-brown, shining; furnished with 

 short yellowish hairs. Clavus and corium interobasally more or less blackish. Mem- 

 brane fumate, nervures brownish. Legs entirely pallid testaceous. Head and eyes as 

 wide as the length of the second segment of antennae, verte.x about three times as wide 

 as one eye. Second segment of antennae nearly four times as long as the first, more 

 than twice as long as the second, which is three times as long as the fourth, second 

 scarcely incrassate apically. Eyes extending laterally considerably beyond apical margin 

 of pronotum. Base of pronotum 2| times as wide as the apical margin. Posterior 

 femora scarcely incrassate.

 far up Kawailoa gulch (March and April), Perkins.— Oahu, Honolulu, -Stal ; Waianae 

 mountains (April) ; coast (April), Perkins. 



I have seen i 7 specimens, including the type kindly communicated by Dr Auri- 

 villius, which vary a little in darkness of colour. One specimen is almost immaculate 

 on the pronotum, and the cuneus is pale yellowish instead of reddish. This may be due 

 to immaturity, but is paralleled in a specimen of H. vitripciiiiis, Stal, in my collection 

 from Java.
