of aiitennje very slightly thickened and almost as long as 

 head, second joint subeqnal in length to posterior tibiae ; pro-

FiNGULUS, gen. nov. 



Body short, broad, convex, shining; head somewhat long, 

 its base distinctly constricted and transverse; clypeus very 

 prominent, con) pressed, subconical above, and convexly de- 

 pressed ; eyes of moderate size, situate much nearer to base 

 of antennffi than to posterior margin of head, a very distinct 

 lateral callosity at their hinder margins ; antennse with the 

 basal joint snbglobosely incrassate, a little shorter than head, 

 second joint of ordinary thickness, moi'e slender at base, and 

 very slightly thickened towards apex, subequal in length to 

 ])OSterior tibite, third and fourth joints slender, third longer 

 tlian fourth ; rostrum imperfectly seen, owing to typical 

 specimen being in a carded condition ; pronotum convex, 

 coarsely punctate, strongly deflected anteriorly, with a pro- 

 minent ridged anterior collar, width between pronotal angles 

 (which are subprominent) about four times that of anterior 

 margin, lateral margins almost obliquely straight ; scutellum 

 subtriangular, sparingly coarsely punctate ; lateral margins 

 of the hemelytra a little convexly ampliately depressed, clavus 

 and corium somewhat thickly punctate, cuneus opaque, im- 

 punctate, about as broad at base as long; membrane with 

 two short basal cells ; legs of moderate length, anterior and 

 intermediate femora moderately thickened, posterior femora 

 more strongly incrassate, apical joint of tarsi moderately 

 thickened. 



This genus may be provisionally placed near Fhysetonotus 

 of the Neotropical region. 



Fingulus atrocceruleus, sp. n. 



Shining indigo-black; second joint of antennae (excluding 

 apex), apical halves of tibiae, and the tarsi pale ochraceous; 

 third and fourth joints of the antennse fuscous, the extreme 

 base of third pale ochraceous ; cuneus slate-black, opaque ; 

 membrane pale hyaline, the basal area fuliginous ; bodv 

 beneath black, im[)erfectly seen owing to the typicil specimen 

 being "carded."
