FOUR NEW AMERICAN HEMIPTERA. 
By E. BEercrotnH, 
Turtola, Finland. 
Among some determinanda communicated by Prof. C. F. Baker 
were the following undescribed species. 
Famity PyrrHocorip®. 
Largus latus sp. noy. 
Broadly ovate, black, above remotely punctured, shortly and sparingly pilose, 
the impunctate head and the middle of the venter more longly pilose, an oblong 
impunctate lateral spot near the anterior angles of the pronotum, the commissure 
of the clavus, the membrane (except border and veins), the posterior border of the 
metasternum, the whole first ventral segment and the border of the abdomen buff, 
the broadly pale ochraceous lateral border of the corium not reaching the base, 
inwardly angularly dilated a little before the middle. Head narrower than anterior 
lobe of pronotum, eyes shortly stylated, rostrum reaching middle coxe, second and 
third antennal joint together shorter than first joint but a little longer than fourth, 
second half as long again as third. Pronotum at the base twice as broad as the 
head. Breast rugose. Hemelytra a little shorter than the abdomen, laterally 
strongly rounded. Anterior femora beneath with one strong spine and some smaller 
ones. Middle and posterior femora unarmed. Length, Q 15 mm. 
Locality: Bolivia. 
Structurally allied to L. balteatus Stal which I know only from 
description, but it is so quite differently colored that it cannot be 
a variety of that species. 
Dysdercus fervidus sp. nov. 
Red, above crimson, antenne, lateral margins of prothorax, a broad subbasal 
fascia to pronotum, clayvus, a fascia just behind the middle and the apical angle of 
the corium, membrane, and legs (except coxee and trochanters) black, membrane 
bordered with white, rostrum gradually becoming piceous towards the tip. Head 
behind with a fine longitudinal impressed line extending to the base of the tylus, 
rostrum passing the middle of the third ventral segment, first joint of antenne dis- 
tinctly longer than the head, second joint somewhat shorter than first and twice 
as long as third, fourth rather thick, about as long as first. Pronotum, clavus, and 
corium punctate, underside of body impunctate. Sixth male ventral segment in 
the middle very little shorter than fifth and fourth together. Length, @ 9.5 mm. 
Locality: Cuba (Havana). 
Among the numerous American species of this genus I am unable 
to find a description fitting this pretty little species. Its nearest 
ally seems to be D. fervens Walk.
