PENTATOMIN &. 
Allocotus sayeri, n.8. (Pl. XIII, fig. 1). 
Head, pronotum, and scutellum black; apices of spines at base 
of antenne, a spine at about middle of each lateral margin of 
pronotum, two transverse discal central spots to pronotum, a 
rounded spot at each basal angle of scutellum, and the apex of 
seutellum, bright shining luteous. Corium brownish ochraceous, 
the margin pale luteous, and with a subcostal fuscous streak. 
Membrane dark fuscous. Head and body beneath dark bluish 
black, disk of abdomen luteous, legs ochraceous, apices of the 
intermediate and posterior femora blackish. The antenne are 
fuscous-brown, the second joint longest, the third and fourth sub- 
equal in length; the eyes are strongly exserted, a strong spine at 
inner margin of antenniferous tubercles, another long spine at 
middle of each lateral margin of pronotum, the lateral pronotal angles 
are produced into long, convex, recurved spines. Long. 7 mm. 
The structure of the pronotal spines, in addition to 
the differences of coloration, will at once distinguish 
this species from the Australian A. Rogenhoferi, Mayr, 
and the New Guinea A. Mayrit, Sign. 
Spudeus parvulus. 
Halys parvula, Hope, Cat., 1, p. 22 (1887). 
This species has been recorded from Northern Australia. 
I possess specimens from Port Moresby. 
Kopicivs, n. g. 
Head with the central lobe about as long as the lateral lobes, 
which are somewhat obtusely angulated at apex, giving the anterior 
margin of the head an emarginate appearance ; eyes inserted near 
base; antenniferous tubercles spinous externally; basal joint of 
antenne extending beyond apex of head (number of joints unknown 
owing to mutilated condition). Pronotum longer than head, 
posterior lateral angles slightly prominent and subacute, and with 
an obtuse tooth at anterior lateral angles. Scutellum subtriangular, 
its apex reaching interior angle of corium; lateral margins of 
corium somewhat ampliated and covering connexivum ; membrane 
with the venation reticulated. Rostrum reaching the posterior 
coxe, second joint a little longer than third, but much shorter than 
third and fourth together. Abdomen not perceptibly furrowed. 
Mesosternum with a central longitudinal ridge. 
I place this genus near Pecilotoma, Dall.
