Ehynchotal family Capsida} Audt. 261 



(superficially sulcate longitudinally, and also superficially impressed 

 transversely between the eyes) about as wide as an eye. Head 

 horizontal as far as apex of eyes, then strongly declivous. First 

 segment of antennse extending far beyond apex of head, inserted 

 (looking from above) within the interoapical angle of eyes, equal 

 in length to pronotum. Eyes almost touching pronotum, internal 

 margins convexly rounded. Pronotum not reflexed laterally, lightly 

 simiate ; base gently convexly rounded, about J wider than head 

 (with eyes) ; callosities not confluent ; collar distinct. Costal margin 

 of elytra widening towards apex ; cuneus longer than wide. Legs 

 slender, femora short. 



28. K. pylaon, sp. no v. 



Bright sanguineoiis (including membranal nervures). Eyes, 1st 

 segment of antennte, and tarsi, black. Head, lateral margins of 

 elytra, cuneus (except a little sanguineous internally) pale flavous. 

 Membrane fumate. Legs pale rta\'ous (irregularly and sparsely

Proboscidocoris, Reuter. 



Renter's typical species (of which I possess a cotype) 

 was described from specimens lacking legs, etc. The 

 posterior femora are somewhat incrassate, and do not reach 

 as far as the apex of the abdomen, and the 1st segment 

 of the tarsi is very short. 



29. P. scti, sp. nov. (Plate VI, fig. 12.) 



Closely allied to P. fuliginosiis, Reuter, from Guinea^ 

 but more robust and quite differently coloured. 



Dead-black, above and beneath, with pale golden pubescence. 

 Antennae fulvous, excepting the black 1st segment and apex of 

 2nd; coxaj, anterior and intermediate femora, apical ^ of pos- 

 terior femora and apical 3rd of all tibiae, black ; the rest of the 

 legs fulvous or fulvotestaceous. First 3 segments of rostrum fulvo- 

 testaceous, 4th black. Membrane fumate, nervures fuscotestaceous. 

 Vertex (?) a trifle wider than in fitUginosus, and the eyes not quite 

 so elongate. 



Long. 5-8 mill, lat. 27 mill.
