 Genus Physetonotus. 



In tlie ' Biologia Centrali-Americana ' (Rliynchota, vol. i. 

 p. 285) I followed Stal in placing his Eccritotarsus pallidt- 

 rostris in the genus he had himself founded. I, however, 

 placed it in a distinct section of the genus — " b. Body ovate. 

 Pronotum jjrominently gihbous.^^ Subsequently Dr. Renter 

 (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. Ixi. p. 394, 1892) has proposed the genus 

 Physetonotus for the reception of these species, making 

 P. atratus, Dist. [Eccritotarsus), the type. The following 

 species must also be included : — 



Eccritotarsus paUidirostris, Stal ; E. incurvus, Dist. ; 

 E. gibius, Dist. ; E. porrectus, Dist. ; E. impavidus, Dist. ; 

 E. perobscurus, Dist. ; E. tenebrosus, Dist. ; E. nocturnuSy 

 Dist. ; E, marginatusj Dist. ; and E. procurvens, Dist. 



Araspus, gen. nov. 



Ovate, posteriorly widened. Head deflected from in front of 

 eyes, which are large, projecting beyond bat not touching 

 anterior margin of pronotum. Antennse wuth the first joint 

 slightly longer than head, a little thickened towards apex ; 

 second joint considerably longer than first, very prominently 

 incrassate and pilose on its apical half; third joint slender; 

 remainder mutilated. Bostrum apparently reaching the inter- 

 mediate coxge (the type a carded specimen) ; pronotum with 

 the basal margin rather more than twice the width of anterior 

 margin, basal margin truncate, becoming oblique towards 

 posterior angles ; scutellum tumid, basally foveate ; corium
