 more so on pronotum. 



Head, laevigate (not callose), part of pronotum, central carina, pronotal punctures, 

 base and posterolateral angles, scutellum, claval commissure, apical margin of corium, 

 antennae (except pallid base of first segment), eyes, etc., blackish. [Some punctures 

 only narrowly encircled with blackish.] Head, sterna, pronotum, scutellum and elytra 

 thickly covered with yellow hairs. Head immaculate. Pronotum pallid greenish- 

 cinereous (except as above). Basal half of rostrum pallid, apical half black. Ape.x of

Hab. Hawaii, Hualalai, 5000 ft. (August), Perkins. 



Subfam. METRARGINAE (nov.). 



Allied to subfam. Cyminae by the dilated costal area, which is very much wider 

 than the abdomen ; by the position of the spiracles, etc., but distinguished from it (and 

 from all other Pyrrhocoridae known to me) by the hamus of the alar areole being 

 continuous, extending from the vena subtensa upwards to the upper vein.
