of some Hemiptera from Boutan. 1 1 



tellum small and triangular, with the lateral margins incurved ; 

 reddish black, rather convex and transversely wrinkled. An- 

 terior wings reddish black, somewhat obscure, very minutely and 

 thickly punctured, with the outer margins pitchy red. Wings 

 brownish, semitransparent. Abdomen beneath black, shining. 

 Breast, legs and rostrum pitchy. 



This species appears to approach very closely to the C.fusci- 

 pemris, Le P. & Serv., and may perhaps be a very dark variety of 

 it ; it differs in the colour of the legs and underside of the body.
