  scu- 
  

   tellum 
  slightly 
  wrinkled, 
  sparingly 
  punctate, 
  rather 
  more 
  

   than 
  basal 
  half 
  slightly 
  purplish 
  in 
  hue 
  ; 
  corium 
  thickly, 
  

   very 
  finely 
  punctate; 
  connexivum 
  ochraceous 
  ; 
  rostrum 
  

   reaching 
  the 
  posterior 
  coxae, 
  its 
  apex 
  black 
  ; 
  apical 
  areas 
  of 
  

   the 
  posterior

  moderately 
  infuscate.

  Allied 
  to 
  B.stdlii, 
  Dist., 
  but 
  differing 
  by 
  the 
  less 
  punctate 
  

   head, 
  the 
  basal 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  central 
  disk 
  being 
  impunctate, 
  

   levigate, 
  third 
  joint 
  of 
  antennas 
  only 
  a 
  little 
  longer 
  than 
  

   second, 
  lateral 
  margins 
  of 
  pronotum 
  slightly 
  sinuate, 
  different 
  

   coloration, 
  &c. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  again 
  used 
  Stal's 
  genus, 
  though 
  in 
  1880 
  I 
  referred 
  

   to 
  the 
  great 
  difficulty 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  could 
  be 
  separated 
  from 
  

   Nezara, 
  a 
  view 
  also 
  advanced 
  by 
  Bergroth 
  in 
  1891. 
  As, 
  

   however, 
  it 
  has 
  recently 
  been 
  proposed 
  to 
  use 
  Banasa 
  as 
  a 
  

   distinct 
  subgenus, 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  better 
  treated 
  as 
  previously.

  Type, 
  D. 
  decorata, 
  Dist. 
  

  

  Tarsi 
  three-jointed, 
  second 
  joint 
  very 
  small 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  

   " 
  with 
  the 
  apical 
  part 
  moderately 
  broad," 
  the 
  apex 
  not 
  

   rounded, 
  but 
  subangulate. 
  

  

  D. 
  decorata 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  widely 
  distributed 
  in 
  Central 
  

   America. 
  I 
  have 
  previously 
  recorded 
  it 
  from 
  Mexico, 
  

   Honduras, 
  and 
  Guatemala, 
  and 
  have 
  since 
  received 
  it 
  from 
  

   Nicaragua.
