HEMIPTERA HETEROPTERA. 139 
Genus 6. STENOPIRATES. 
Caput lanceolatum; collum valde determinatum. Antenne filiformes. 
This genus is distinguished from Pirates and Prostemma by the 
filiform antenne, and by the long neck, which forms a distinct segment. 
In the first species the fore lobe of the prothorax is smooth as in Pro- 
stemma, in the second it is furrowed like that of Pirates.
