302 Mr. J. Scott on new Genera and Species 



yellow, the punctures coarser, deeper, and more thickly placed 

 than on the disk, and not extending to the anterior margin in 

 either sex. Membrane pale fuscous, nerves pale brown. Pro- 

 sternum yellow, somewhat inclined to orange. Legs yellow : 

 thighs somewhat inclined to orange-yellow. 



Abdomen underneath yellow, like the prostemum. 



Length, c?5g, ? 6 lines. 



An extremely conspicuous species, owing to the somewhat 

 heart-shaped ochraceous spot on the scutellum. I have only 

 seen a male and a female. 



Genus Elasmucha, Stal. 

 Elasmucha Putoni. 



Luteous, brownish, or greenish grey, somewhat sparingly 

 black-punctured ; basal angles of the scutellum whitish. 

 Membrane with a transverse brown band irregularly dentate 

 on both the upper and lower margins. 



Head somewhat thickly black-punctured, except a narrow 

 portion next the eyes. Antennae, yellow ; apical two thirds of 

 the fourth joint black ; fifth black, base narrowly yellow. 

 Eyes piceous or black. Rostrum yellowish, apical half of the 

 last joint black. 



Thorax. — Pronotum more sparingly punctured than the 

 head, generally yellowish or bone-white in front as far as the 

 transverse channel, which does not extend to the lateral 

 margin, and is deepest at its extremities ; lateral margins 

 narrowly yellowish or bone-white ; hinder angles produced 

 into a short piceous or black tooth. Scutellum luteous or 

 bone- white, punctured similar to the pronotum ; disk with a 

 lunate piceous patch next the base; basal angles narrowly 

 yellowish or bone-white ; generally a pale unpunctured and 

 indistinctly elevated central line extends from the apex to the 

 middle of the disk ; margins round the apex slightly thickened, 

 pale, and unpunctured. Elytra : corium black-punctured ; 

 between the anterior margin and the first nerve two to three 

 longitudinal rows, the third generally interrupted near the 

 middle, the other punctures are more irregular, except about 

 two rows next the clavus, in which last also they are regularly 

 disposed. Membrane pale, with a short, transverse, brown, 

 irregular streak near the base, and a band of the same colour 

 near the apex, dentate on both the upper and lower margins, 

 leaving an oval pale patch at the apex of the anterior margin. 

 Sternum yellowish or yellowish white, black-punctured. Legs 

 yellow : thighs beneath with long, fine, erect pale hairs : fibice
