new Oriental Pentatomoidea, 487 



subeqnal in length, each much longer than first (last joint 

 wanting). Pionotum rather deeply arcuately sinuate at 

 apex, antero-lateral margins deeply obtusangularly sinuated 

 in the middle, owing to the humeral angles being produced 

 in a subtriangular process directed obliquely forward and 

 outward, these margins subacute, irregularly denticulated 

 from pronotal apical angles to base of humeral processes, 

 these processes not reaching the level of the pronotal apical 

 angles, their margins entire, not toothed, pronotal basal 

 margin straight. Scutellum longer than broad, about reach- 

 ing middle of abdomen, laterally sinuated considerably 

 behind the middle, postfrenal part nariow, nearly twice as 

 long as broad, its sides subparallel, apex rounded. Meso- 

 sternum somewhat convex, keeled in the middle. Orificial 

 sulcus rather short. Hemelytra when closed scarcely 

 broader than, but entirely covering, the abdomen, corium 

 much longer than scutellum, costal margin slightly rounded, 

 apical angle acute, apical margin straight, riraula through 

 a little less than its basal half closely following the radial 

 vein, then somewhat deviating from it, ending not far behind 

 middle of corium, membrane with the veins forked, the 

 outermost and the three interior ones simple. Abdomen 

 laterally slightly rounded, ventral lateral border a little con- 

 cave, apical angles of the segments scarcely prominent, 

 those of the last segment (c^*) broadly lobately rounded, 

 spiracles obliquely transverse, placed in the posterior 

 declivity of a small callus, more i-emote from the lateral 

 than from the apical margin of the segments. Legs rather 

 slender, fore tibiae beneath with a small indentation in the 

 apical half preceded by a short spinule, first joint of all tarsi 

 very slightly longer than the two others together, and more 

 robust. 



This genus is allied to Cressona, Dall., from which it 

 differs in several details in the structure of the head, the 

 much shorter, more divergent, and not serrate humeral 

 processes of the prothorax, &c. 



Named in memory of the first Finnish entomologist, Isaac 

 Uddman, whose illustrated dissertation ' Novae insectorum 

 species^ (Aboae, 1753), contains for that time very good 

 descriptions of a hundred species, later specifically named by 

 Linna3us and others.

Dull, above pale ochraceous, finely and dispersedly punc- 

 tured with blackish and fuscous, still more finely and remotely
