Famity Myopocuip2®. 
Pamera hondurana sp. noy. 
Sparingly pilose, black, hind lobe of pronotum dark castaneous, clavus with a 
white streak near the outer margin, corium white, in the basal half with two longi- 
tudinal blackish streaks meeting anteriorly, and a little behind the middle with a 
rather broad transverse cinnamon-brown band which turns black at the costal mar- 
gin, an exteriorly widening black fascia occupying the apical margin of the corium, 
membrane fuscous black with an oval rather obscure whitish spot behind the mid- 
dle, hind acetabula and posterior angles of metasternum white, abdomen fuscous 
toward the base, antennze testaceous, last joint fuscous, rostrum and fore legs dark 
ferruginous, fore femora blackish toward the base, middle and hind legs black, tro- 
chanters and base of femora whitish, tarsi pale fuscous. Head extremely finely 
rugulose, a little broader than anterior lobe of pronotum, postocular part very short, 
eyes rather large but moderately prominent, first joint of antenne reaching apex of 
head, second joint more than twice the length of first, third distinctly shorter than 
second, fourth as long as second. Pronotum impunctate, very strongly constricted 
and deeply transversely impressed behind the middle, basal margin straight, anterior 
lobe subglobose, not quite twice the length of posterior lobe. Scutellum sloping 
backwards, its basal half shining, transversely convex, finely and sparsely punctate, 
apical half dull, impunctate. Hemelytra reaching apex of abdomen, corium with a 
few almost colorless punctures, its costal margin slightly and broadly sinuate a 
little before the middle. Fore femora strongly incrassated, with a double row of 
spines beneath, fore tibiz slightly curved; first joint of hind tarsi two times longer 
than the other joints conjoined. Length, o 4.5 mm. 
Locality: British Honduras (Belize). 
This elegant species is very distinct from the other Central 
American forms. Owing to the very strongly constricted prono- 
tum it differs somewhat in habitus from most species of the genus.
