Allied to ufE. ohscnrus, but paler in hue ; head rather shorter, disk 

 of prouotum bitubei'culate and the lateral pronotal angles shorter : 

 prouotum with a median longitudinal ridge and two transverse 

 ridges on disk ; apices of the pronotal lateral angles emarginate 

 and furnished with a small tubercle in the centre ; scutellum 

 terminating in a concolorous tubercle. 



Length 6 to Tg ; breadth between pronotal angles 6 to 7 miUim.

Head black with coppery reflections ; pronotum, scutellum, and 

 corium ochraceous, sparingly and very coarsely darkly punctate : 

 pronotum \\ith the darli punctures some\^'hat confluent on the 

 anterior area, the lateral angles strongly produced, slightly curved 

 backward, extreme apex finely acute, the apex and margins 

 blackish ; scutellum with a somewhat large black foveate spot in 

 each basal angle ; membrane pale brownish, the veins black ; body 

 beneath and legs dark ochraceous, sparingly and coarsely blackly 

 punctate ; head, pronotal angles beneath, central longitudinal area 

 of abdomen, bases, apices, and a subcentral annulatiou to femora, 

 bases and a central annulatiou to tibia?, black. 



Length 6 ; breadth between pronotal angles 5 millim.

A species to be distinguished by the peculiar pronotal angles.

Division EUSARCOGOBIABIA. 



This division includes a group of genera in which the scutellum 

 is always broad, sometimes short and broad, or, as in Sepontia, 

 extending to the apex of tlie abdomen ; and with the exception of 

 Cratonotvs, a genus somewhat difficult to locate, the body also is 

 short and broad, the lobes of the head are about equal in length, 

 or very slightly varying in this respect, the lateral lobes never 

 meeting in front of the central lobe as in some preceding divisions. 



Si/nopsis of Genera. 



I. Body short and broad, its length much less 

 than twice breadth of pronotmii. 



A. vScutellum reaching apex of abdomen. . . . Sepoxtia, p. 164. 



B. ScuteUuni more than half the length of 



abdomen, 

 a. Head broad, not acuminate. 



(I. Scutelhmi but little narrowed on pos- Y 



terior half, almost as long as corium E#sarcocoris, p. 165.
