central and slightly concave, their apices obtusely pointed and 

 divided in I'emale, laut apparently meeting or coalesced in male ; 

 second joint of antennae barely reaching apex of head. Prouotum 

 about twice as broad as long, the lateral angles strongly produced 

 forwards into robust obtuse spines, the apices of which are about 

 parallel to the eyes. Scutellum short, its length less than its 

 breadth at base, the lateral margins obliquely directed inward to 

 about middle, and then straight to near apex, which is broadly 

 rounded ; corium short, inner angle not reaching apex of scutellum; 

 membrane not reaching apex of abdomen, the veins more or less 

 reticidate. E-ostrum stout, reaching the posterior cox?e ; meso- 

 sternum centrally carinate. 



265. Scylax porrectus, Dist. Tr. U. S. 1887, p. 345, pi. 1-2, f. 7. 



Body above ochraceous ; head, pronotum, and scutellum some- 

 what thickly punctate ; pronotum with one short central levigate 



linear and two short transverse 

 spots; scutellum with a cen- 

 ti'al longitudinal levigate fascia 

 which possesses a median series 

 of minute punctures, aud a few 

 scattered punctures on each 

 side ; corium with the costal 

 area very sparingly and finely 

 punctate, the inner area 

 coarsely and somewhat thickly 

 punctate ; membrane pale 

 brownish - ochraceous ; body 

 beneath and legs ochraceous ; 

 the body somewhat finely and 

 darkly punctate and with a 

 central and two sublateral 

 fasciae formed of blackish punctures ; legs speckled with brownish.

 membrane extending to about half of the anal appendage. 

 Length 15 millim.

26(S. Scylax macrinus, Dist. Tr. K S. 1887, p. 346, pi. 12, f. 9. 



Closely allied to S. porrecUis, but differing by the somewhat 

 smaller size, the lateral lobes of the head only divided for a sliort 

 distance before the apex (coalesced in male), and the membrane not 

 reaching the apex of the last abdominal segment. 



Length 14 to 15 millim.
