HEMIPTERA IIETEROPTEBA. 97 



Closely allied to C. hellula, but may be distinguished by its smaller 

 size and by the markings on the thorax. In the latter character it is 

 somewhat different from C. spharula.

63. COPTOSOMA ASPEUSA. 



Pallide lutea ; caput lituris duabus poslicis nigris ; thorax fascia antica 

 itndiilata subduplicata plagisqne duabus anlicis magnis cxcavatis 

 nigris ; sculellum plagis variis punctisque nigris. 



Pale luteous, thinly and largely punctured, a little longer than broad. 

 Head about one-third of the breadlli of the thorax, with a black mark on 

 each side of the hind border. Thorax with two large black much 

 excavated patches; in front there is an undulating incompletely double 

 black band. Sculellum with the usual transverse furrow, with black points

Most allied to C. partita, but the markings on the fore part of the 

 thorax and at the base of the sculellum distinguish il from that species.
