Dr. R. C. L. Perkins on Hawaiian Hemiptera. 729 
Kirkaldy = R. oscillans, Blackburn. For the species, which 
he originally called &. rubritinctus (having quite overlooked 
the head spines), he subsequently made a subgenus Milu, 
calling the species &. kerasphoros. Rh. rubritinetus, Black- 
burn, is quite distinct from this, the basal antennal joint 
being much less incrassate, and there are no head spines. 
Blackburn did not collect 2. kerasphoros, though it is not 
rare close to Honolulu. The unique type of R&. koelensis, 
Bl, is much damaged, but is evidently extremely like 
ft. subrufus (=? koelensis, Kirk.), and probably only a 
variety of this. Reduviolus montivagus, Kirk., afterwards 
considered to be a variety of £&. tarai, is, I think, certainly 
not that species, but is probably the f of &. sharpianus. 
Kirkaldy says that he has not seen a male of montivagus, 
but the unique type is a f~. &. volcanicola, Kirk., is a 
synonym of L. curtipennis, Bl., the type of which I possess. 
CAPSIDAE. 
Jyrtopeltis confusa, sp. NOV. 
Entirely pale, flavescent, or sometimes more or less greenish 
tinged, in dark varieties with the clavus, apex of corium and of the 
cuneus infuscate, as also more or less of the basal antennal joint, 
and the pronotum may be mottled with fuscous. Head and pro- 
notum with very sparse hairs, the head smooth and shining. 
Antennae long and slender, if laid back they would reach to or 
nearly to the apex of the tegmina, basal joint elongate, about four 
times as long as wide, second and third about equal and very slender, 
the fourth only about half as long as the second. Pronotum appear- 
ing elongate, being much narrowed in front, about twice as wide at 
the base as on its front margin, about as long as its width at the 
middle, its front lobe rather strongly convex, clothed with short 
pale pubescence like the tegmina, its hind margin strongly emar- 
ginate. Legs very long and slender, the hind femora with short 
pubescence and a row of fine, widely separated, bristles above, the 
tibiae pubescent and with longish pale bristles. Hind tibiae nearly 
three times as long as the tarsi. 
Length 35-4 mm. 
¢ with the terminal ventral segment very asymmetrical, produced 
on one side into a long process, dilated at the apex. On its inner 
side dorsally this production of the segment gives off a slender 
process, which is very strongly bent. Fig. A shows the outline of 
this segment in ventral aspect and the process subdorsally.
