HALYOMOBPHA. 129 



Mr. Baiubrigge Fletcher also informs ine that " It occurs 

 sporadically in enormous swarms, so much so that examples sent 

 in lately were reported to have broken off large branches from 

 jungle trees by the weight of the masses of bugs clustered on the 

 trees."

Ochraceous, more or less punctured with olivaceous-green 

 or fuscous ; head with dense olivaceous punctures, the margins 

 moderately reflexed, the apex subtruncate, lateral lobes very 

 slightly longer than the central lobe; antennae blackish, basal 

 joint ochraceous with an outer black line, first joint almost 

 but not quite reaching apex of head, second shorter than 

 third, third and fourth subequal in length, fifth a little 

 longer with the base ochraceous ; pronotuni ochraceous, with dense 

 olivaceous punctures, except on a discal transverse ochraceous 

 area between but not reaching the lateral angles (this area is 

 almost impunctate, but usually contains two maculate clusters of 

 dark punctures), extreme margins narrowly ochraceous, lateral 

 angles subproininent and broadly subangulate, lateral margins 

 slightly reflexed ; scutellum with dense dark punctures, a levigate 

 ochraceous spot at each basal angle, the apex stramineous with 

 concolorous punctures ; corium thickly but more finely darkly 

 punctate ; membrane passing the abdominal apex, pale fuliginous 

 but reflecting the dark abdomen beneath ; body beneath and legs 

 pale ochraceous ; two spots on each side of pro- and mesosterna, 

 one on each side of metasternum, abdominal spiracles and 

 elongate spots on lateral margins, spots on apical areas of femora, 

 apical third of anterior tibiae and apices of tarsi, black. 



Length 14 ; breadth between pronotal angles 8 millira.

Body above obscure dark olivaceous-green ; pronotum with 

 narrow lateral margins (not including lateral angles), a broken 

 central longitudinal line, and a transverse series of six small spots 

 across the anterior area, ochraceous ; scutellum with a basal row 

 of small spots, and the apex (largely) ochraceous ; connexivum 

 ochraceous, with large olivaceous spots at the segmental incisures ; 

 corium minutely and very obscurely dotted with ochraceous ; 

 membrane fuscous, veins black, apical area subhyaline ; body 

 beneath and legs ochraceous ; broad lateral margins to head, broad 



* Since these pages were in press, Bergroth has described a species, 

 H. picticornis from Bombay, which he doubtfully includes in the genus. I have 

 not seen the species (Journ. Bomb. N. H. Soc. xxiv, p. 171, 1915).
