G-allobelgicus ssevus n. sp. — Laevis, nilidus, subtilissime 

 breviter albo-puberiilus, flavo-testaceus, parte anteoculari capitis, 

 basi articuli primi et secundo toto rostri, antennis (parte basali 

 articuli primi excepta) annuloque anteapicali femorum fuscis, 

 pectore pallide piceo-testaceo, membrana iridescente, infuscata, 

 fascia prope basin flavo-testacea. Spinge lobi postici pronoti oblique 

 sursum et extrorsum directœ. Spina prima tibiarum anticarum 

 prope basin, tertia pauiluio pone médium si ta. (Pedes postici 

 desunt). Long. $ 5.4 mill. 



Ins. Philippinœ (Los Banos). 



Differs from G. typicus Dist. by the lack of the small spine be- 

 tween the antennse, by the fore tibise being armed with 3 (not 4) 

 spines,and bythe quite difïerentlycoloured antennseand hemelytra. 

 In Distant's figure the spines of the fore tibiœ are represented as 

 directed outward; in my species they are directed inward. 



Postscript. I had described tliis genus as new, but some days 

 after sending the description for publication I chanced upon the 

 figure M9 in Distant's Rhynchota of British India Vol.V, evidently 

 representing the same genus, on which Distant bas bestowed the 

 curious name Gallohelgictis. My generic description was based solely 

 on G. sœvus and should be slightly modified to fit both species. That 

 I was on the point of redescribing the genus under an other name 

 is no wonder, as Distant placed it in the — Harpactoiinœ (I!j, at 

 the opposite end of the Reduviid system.
