the scutellum is half the length of the thorax ; elytra, strise 

 1-3 are punctate and complete, the fourth is punctiform 

 apically, fifth punctiform and evanescent at base, sixth as last 

 but only reaching the middle ; in the dorsal region of the 

 suture there is a fine stria, not punctate, which may or may 

 not be tlie true sutural ; propygidium and pygidium rugosely 

 punctate, especially the latter ; prosternum bistriate ; meso- 

 sternum deeply emarginate in front, and the transverse stria 

 following the emargination is fine, but at the sides it is very 

 strong, slightly sinuous, and ceasing only at the posterior 

 edge of the metasternum ; the first segment of the abdomen 

 has a somewhat similar lateral stria and a shorter one outside 

 of it ; the external edge of the intermediate tibia is armed 

 with a tooth similar to that in C. striati'sternum, Lew., to which 

 species it has a close resemblance; the anterior tibise have 

 four evenly placed teeth. 



In Carcinops striatistej-num the metasternal lateral stria 

 does not connect with the mesosternal line, but it has a second 

 shorter stria outside of and parallel to it; both this and C. didcis 

 are without the conspicuous emargination in the outer edge of 

 the anterior tibia3, and it is with some doubt I leave them in 

 Carci7iops.

Paratropus, Gerstacker. 



In the Munich Catalogue Harold gave Marseul's genus 

 Phylloscelis^ 1862, the preference over Gerstacker's Para- 

 tropus, 1866 ; but Phylloscelis was used in the Homoptera by 

 Germar in 1839. 



Paratropus manicatus, sp. n. 



Orbicularis, supra convexus, brunneus ; elypeo impresso ; pronota 

 stria laterali Integra, antics baud striate ; elytris punctulatis, 

 striis nuUis ; pygidio lajvi ; mesosterno immarginato. 



L. 1| mill. 



Orbicular, rather convex, brown, and shining ; head very 

 obscurely punctulate,clypeus longitudinallyimpressed; thorax, 

 lateral stria fine but clear, margin narrowly and slightly 

 raised, anterior angles obtusely produced, no anterior stria, 

 punctured throughout, punctures very fine, most visible before 

 the scutellum, obscurely strigose at the sides; elytra finely 

 and a little closely punctulate, marginal stria very clear and 

 complete ; the dorsal strise are obsolete and the disk inclined 

 to be black ; propygidium and pygidium nearly smooth ; pro-
