Rhynchota collected in Japan. 439 



subglobose, the lateral margins dilated but not extending 

 to apical margin, which is alone as wide as the head; pos- 

 terior margin concavely sinuated before the scutellum. 



This genus appears to be somewhat intermediate 

 between Dieuclies and Neurocladus. 



Paradieuches lewisi, n. s. (PI. XX., fig. 4). 



Head black, with the apex brownish ; antennse with 

 the 1st and 2nd joints brownish ochraceous, the 3rd and 

 4th black, with their bases brownish ochraceous ; pro- 

 notum black, the posterior lobe somewhat purplish, the 

 dilated margins luteous, except at lateral angles, where 

 they are purplish black ; scutellum black ; clavus pur- 

 plish, with a longitudinal paler streak on each side near 

 apex ; corium with the basal third luteous, the remainder 

 purplish, with two black costal spots near centre (be- 

 tween which the colour is luteous), a similar spot near 

 centre of claval margin, and the apex broadly black ; 

 corial apical and the posterior half of claval margin black ; 

 basal angle narrowly black ; membrane black, the base 

 and apical margin narrowly brownish ochraceous, with 

 a large white spot on each side near apex of corium ;

(1874). 



The type specimens, male and female, of this species 

 were received from the Philippines; but, judging from 

 the description of the same, I have little doubt that I 

 have correctly identified the Japanese specimen collected 

 by Mr. Lewis. 



Only two species of this genus are at present described, 

 one from South Africa and the other apparently common 

 to the Philippines and Japan.
