Mr. W. L. Distant on Oriental Capsidse. 17 



thickened on apical half, where it is also more strongly 

 pilose, third twice as long as fourth and together as long as 

 second; rostrum almost reaching the posterior coxa?; pro- 

 notum at base about one and a half times as broad as long 

 and about one-third longer than anterior margin, the lateral 

 margins rather roundly oblique, the anterior area transversely 

 bi-callose, the posterior area transversely striate ; scutellum 

 triangular, transversely constricted near base ; corium 

 covering about two-thirds of the abdomen, longitudinally 

 ridged, apical and lateral margins a liltle rounded, cuneus 

 and membrane undeveloped ; abdomen widened posteriorly, 

 deflected on its apical area and pilose ; legs of moderate 

 length ; tibia? pilose. 



Somewhat allied to the Palasarctic genus Euryopocoris. 



Aristobulus films, ap. n. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum, and corium shining piceous 

 black ; abdomen above and body beneath shining jet-black ; 

 legs pale ochraceous ; body shortly, finely, greyishly pilose; 

 structural characters as in generic diagnosis. 



Length 3 mm.

Sampsigeramus, gen. nov. 



Head broader than long, anteriorly deflected ; eyes small, 

 situate at base of head, scarcely projecting beyond the 

 anterior margins of the pronotum ; antennas moderately 

 slender, first joint shorter than head, second about three 

 times as long as first, third shorter than second, but con- 

 siderably longer than fourth ; rostrum distinctly passing the 

 posterior coxse ; pronotum at base more than twice as broad 

 as long and about half as broad again as anterior margin, 

 deflected on anterior half, very obscurely transversely callose 

 on anterior area, anterior and posterior margins truncate, 

 lateral margins a little roundly oblique, the posterior angles 

 obtusely rounded; scutellum subtriangular ; corium (ex- 

 cluding cuneus) about as long as posterior tibiae, including 

 clavus twice as long as broad ; cuneus about as broad at base 

 as outwardly long ; membrane considerably passing abdominal 

 apex, its greatest length as long as intermediate tibiae ; head, 

 pronotum, scutellum, corium, and cuneus densely pilose ; 

 legs spinulose, the tibiae more thickly and strongly so, the 

 femora, especially the posterior, distinctly thickened ; poste- 

 rior tarsi with the basal joint longest. 



The position of this genus is near the Palfearctic Plagio- 

 tylus, Scott.
