of some Species of exotic Heteropterous Hemiptera. 121 
pidius, in the new edition of Drury’s ‘ Illustrations of Exotic 
Entomology,” likewise exhibit this peculiarity, but the insect 
before us exhibits the same character in a curious degree of de- 
velopment, its sides behind being dilated into two thin plates 
extending over the base of the hemelytra, whilst there is a slight 
excision in the centre exposing the tip of the scutellum; the front 
of the prothorax is also curiously dilated into a pair of arched 
lobes over the base of the fore legs, which are singularly elon- 
gated. It is true that in many Reduvii the fore femora are greatly 
dilated, but here it is by an extension of the limb that the extra 
development is attained. From Diaspidius the present genus 
differs in its broad form, the different proportions of the joints of 
the antenne, and the straight tibiz. I regret that I am unac- 
quainted with the locality of this curious insect, which is however, 
I believe, Singapore. ‘The Reduvius coccineus of Perty seems, in 
some respects, to be allied to the present group.
