genera and species of Neotropical Rhynchota. 87 
Fam. CAPSIDA. 
Subfam.: CAPSINAL. 
Division Miraria. 
Neomiris, gen. noy., Dist. MS., in Whym. Trav. 
Great Andes, Append., p. 113 (1892). 
Allied to Miris, and differing from that genus principally in 
having the posterior margin of the pronotum slightly emarginate 
and not covering the base of the scutellum, which is punctate, 
thus differing from Megalocerea and allies. 
Head moderately long, scarcely or not deflected in front, and 
with a distinct and narrow longitudinal suleation on basal half : 
antenne about as long as the body, with the first joint robust, 
strongly pilose, and considerably longer than the pronotum ; second 
joint finely pilose, and about twice the length of the first ; third 
joint one-third shorter than second, and considerably longer than 
fourth. Pronotum coarsely punctate, longer than broad, the 
anterior margin slightly concave, the lateral margins more strongly 
concave, the lateral angles subnodulose, and with a somewhat faint 
transverse constriction near anterior margin, the basal margin 
emarginate and not covering the base of the scutellum. Scutellum 
coarsely punctate. Rostrum reaching or slightly passing the inter- 
mediate coxe. ji 
In the same year (1884) as I wrote the description of 
this genus, Dr. Reuter founded his Dolichomiris for the 
reception of a West African species; and I am obliged 
to Dr. Bergroth for informing me that a species of the 
same genus has since been received from Venezuela. 
Neomiris is closely allied to Dolichomiris, but differs by 
the coarsely punctured pronotum and scutellum; the 
subnodulose lateral angles to the pronotum, &c. 
Neomiris precelsus, n. sp., Dist. MS., in Whym. Tray. 
Great Andes, Append., p- 118, n. 11 (woodcut), 
(1892). 
Body above brownish ochraceous; head with a broad black 
streak in front of each eye, and continued along margin to apex; 
antenne with the apical half of the second joint more or less 
castaneous, the third and fourth joints fuscous. Pronotum coarsely 
punctate, with a central pale levigate longitudinal line, a large 
black spot at each anterior angle, extending to near middle of pro- 
notuin, and sometimes narrowly and more faintly continued to 
basal margin, which is also (excluding angles) blackish. Scutellum
