anterior lobe of pronotum and the presence of ventral spines on the 
anterior femora. 
We take pleasure in naming this species for the collector. 
ZELURUS SAILERI, new species 
PLATE 6, Ficgusges 18-25; PLATE 7, FIGURE 28 
Male.—Length to apex of hemelytra, 17.0 mm.; distance between 
points of humeral spines, 4.5 mm.; maximum width of abdomen, 5.0 
mm. 
General color of body dark piceous, shining, dull on hemelytra; 
yellowish spots and stripes on the external margin of corium, on the 
connexivum, on the ventral keel of abdomen, on the apex of pronotal 
spines, and more or less distinctly on femora and tibiae. 
General form of head as in plate 6, figures 18 and 19; distance be- 
tween eyes dorsally about equal to two-thirds of the dorsal width of 
one eye. Jugae and genae rounded apically, somewhat salient. 
Length of first segment of antenna, 1.8 mm.; the proportion of seg- 
ments one to three, 1 : 2.8 : 2: % Rostrum as in plate 6, figure 19. 
Neck rather elongate. 
Collum with its anterolateral angles not very salient, rounded 
apically. Anterior lobe of pronotum with its lateral tubercles very 
small (pl. 6, fig. 18), not very distinct; discal spines long and 
acuminate, yellow on apical two-thirds, almost vertical, not much 
longer than humeral spines. Pronotum dark piceous. The following 
parts yellowish : Spots at the base of anterolateral processes of collum; 
on anterior lobe of pronotum; lateral carinae, lateral tubercles, discal 
spines, and discal carinae; on the posterior lobe; lateral margin, 
humeral spines, and posterior third of the median longitudinal ridge. 
Posterior lobe with transverse wrinkles. 
Scutellum with a long apical spine, directed backward, longer than 
discal spines of anterior lobe of pronotum; its apical half yellow. 
Prosternal processes not very salient. 
Anterior tibia with two rows of spines along the ventral surface 
of the apical three-fourths. A few of the spines are noticeably longer 
than the remainder (pl. 6, fig. 20). Middle femora of the same type. 
Anterior and median tibiae with numerous small spines ventrally. 
Spongy fossa occupying one-third of the total length of anterior 
tibiae. Femora with three irregular yellow annuli, one basal and two 
subapical. Tibiae entirely yellowish, darker basally and apically. 
. Hemelytra slightly surpassing apex of abdomen. 
Abdomen ventrally with long and delicate hairs, longitudinal keel 
attaining the sixth segment, accompanied by a yellow stripe becoming 
more distinct and larger at the base of each segment. Connexivum 
ventrally with small yellow spots on the suture between the segments.
