middle of abdomen ; coriam with the apical angle produced -. 

 membrane pellucid, the A'elns mostly longitudinal. 



664. Trallianus chennelli, sp. n. 



Ochraceous, finely and obscurely punctate; antennae, scutellum, 



corium, and legs with a pur- 

 plish tinge ; lateral margins 

 of corium luteous ; membrane 

 pale hyaline, colourless ; apical 

 joint of antenufe cylindrical 

 and ochraceous ; pronotum 

 with a distinct chseal foveate 

 impression, the lateral angles 

 subprominent, rounded, the 

 lateral margins very narrowly 

 paler and sublevigate ; head 

 beneath and sternum more 

 thickly and coarsely punctate, 

 a straight foveate impression 

 on each side from intermediate 

 coxfe to apex of sixth abdominal segment. 



Length 13 ; breadth between prouotal angles 4 millim.

Fiff. 238. — Trallianus chennelli. 



To this subfamily doubtless belongs the species described by 

 Spinola under the name of Merocoris spinicollis (Ess. Hem. p. 216,. 

 1887), the description of which I, with other students of the 

 Ehynchota, have as yet been unable to identify with any species 

 examined. It was stated to have been collected at Bombay by 

 Mons. Dupont. It seems probably to refer to a species belonging 

 to the genus NojiMomia, but the diagnosis is too brief and vague 

 for exact determination. 



Division STENOCEPHALABIA. 

 Stenoceplialaria, Stal, En. Hem. iii, p. 84 (1873). 



Pronotum twice or nearly twice broader than the head ; head 

 long, the lateral lobes distinctly projecting at apex and longer 

 than the central lobe ; insertion of the antennae remote from the 

 eyes ; apical margin of the corium straight, a little shorter than 

 the claval suture. 



This Division is principally Palsearctic and Ethiopian in dis- 

 tribution, and is only just represented in this fauna. It is at 

 present known by two genera, one of which occurs in British 

 India.
