106 Mr. W. L. Distant’s Descriptions of 
Scutellum broad, subtriangular, gradually decreasing in 
width for about two-thirds from base, when it is some- 
what straightened to apex, which is rounded. Abdomen 
extended beyond apical half of corium. Rostrum not 
reaching intermediate coxe; antenne five-jointed ; 
abdomen and sternum unarmed; tarsi three-jointed. 
The large subquadrate head is sufficient to separate 
this genus from all the other genera of Tessaratomine ; 
its other structural characters ally it to Oncoscelis. 
Delocephalus miniatus, n.s. (Pl. IIL., figs. 8, 3 a.) 
Red; head, pronotum, and scutellum, finely punctate 
and rugulose, corium finely punctate, membrane ochra- 
ceous. Body beneath and legs concolorous and finely 
punctate. Antenne with the second, third, fourth, and 
fifth joints subequal, or second a little shorter; luteous, 
apical half of fourth, and the fifth joint piceous. Anterior 
margins of pronotum denticulated, lateral margins 
ampliated and obtusely angulated anteriorly. Long. 
17mm. Max. lat. 11 mm. 
REDUVIIDA. 
Reduvius bicoloripes, n. s. 
Testaceous; head, antenne, rostrum, apices of femora, 
tibiw, tarsi, and a transverse fascia near apex of corium, 
which is narrowly extended along inner margin of mem- 
brane, black. Legs strongly pilose. Pronotum with 
the anterior lobe and disk of posterior lobe, centrally 
and longitudinally sulcated; membrane extending be- 
yond apex of abdomen. Long. 11 mm. 
Hab. Antananarivo. 
Allied to R. gulosus, Stal, but differs in the colour of 
the underside of head and legs. The sulcation of the 
posterior lobe of the pronotum does not join that of the 
anterior lobe, but is confined to the posterior and discal 
portion only.
