Allied to M. caripennis, Westvv., from which it differs by the 

 different markings, and the broader scutellum which is much less 

 narrowed apically with its apex more broadly convex; 



Long. 6 niillim. Exp. pronot. ang. 4 milliill.

 Brit. Mus.). 



Rhynchocoris alatus, sp. n. (Plate II, fig. 12.) 



Above pale greenish, thickly and coarsely punctate. Lateral lobes 

 of head and apical half of central lobe reddish-ochraceous ; margins 

 of posterior portion of central lobe, blackish. Antennai with the 

 basal joint ochraceous, black beneath, second and third joints black, 

 — remainder mutilated. Basal lateral margins of the corium reddish- 

 ochraceous. Connexivum ochraceous with the segmental angles 

 l>lack. Membrane bronzy-brown. Body beneath and legs ochraceous, 

 with a greenish tint ; tarsi fuscous. 



Second joint of the antennoe distinctly shorter than the third, 

 central lobe reaching apex of head which is rounded ; lateral angles 

 of the pronotum very strongly and robustly produced with their 

 apices acute, the punctures on these produced angles are coarse and 

 black. Eostrum not quite reaching the posterior coxae, its apex 

 black. 



Long. 15 millim. Exp. pronot. ang. 13 millim. 



Habitat. India, Naga Hills (Doberty — Coll. Dist.). 



This species, like B. 2^^agiatiis of Walk., belongs to a 

 section of tbe genus in wbicb the central lobe of the head 

 is as long as the lateral lobes.

Green or ochraceous, the latter colour probably indicating faded 

 specimens. Abdomen above indigo-blue, connexivum ochraceous. 

 Membrane pale fuscous but reflecting the dark colour of the abdomen

 posterior segmental apices narrowly piceous. Antennas black, the 

 basal joint ochraceous. 



Second joint of antenna) a little shorter than the third ; head some- 

 what transversely wrinkled ; pronotum coarsely punctate, the lateral 

 angles ])roduced into prominent robust acute spines their apices 

 slightly recurved ; scutellum and corium coarsely punctate ; basal 

 lateral margin of corium sanguineous ; apical angles of sixth abdo-
