PENTATOMIDyT. 



bases of remaining joints, connexiviun. and legs more or less 

 rufeseent ; third, fonrth, and fifth joints of antennae, a somewhat 



smooth median shining spot on 

 ^ scLitellum and some minute 



spots on sternum and abdomen, 

 duplicated spots on connexi- 

 vum, also spots on the apices 

 of the femora, black ; mem- 

 brane and «'ings fuscescent ; 

 basal angle of membrane with 

 an obscu?'e spot.

Westwood originally de- 

 scribed the habitat of his species as " Caput Bona? Spei," an 

 undoubted error. I have been enabled to compare the types of 

 both Westwood's and Haglund's species, which I found identical, 

 with a Javan specimen collected by Horsfield, and cannot accept 

 the proposition of Breddin that examples from that island con- 

 stitute a distinct species.
