104 Mr. W. L. Distant on the Capsidae 



Fulgenlius mandarinus, sp. n. 



Black; antennae, eyes, legs, and membrane piceous ; 

 anterior margin of pronotum,, first joint of antennae (excluding 

 apex and base of third joint) and apices of femora ochraceous; 

 corium with a transverse fascia before middle and between 

 clavus and lateral margin, and about basal half of cuneus, 

 greyish white ; body beneath black, imperfectly seen in 

 carded specimen, but apparently with a greyish spot near 

 posterior coxae ; body above very finely and obscurely pilose. 



Long. 8 mm. 



Hab. China ; Namoa Islands (J. J. Walker, Brit. Mus.). 



NiCHOMACHUS, gen. nov. 



Moderately elongate. Head broad, including eyes much 

 wider than anterior margin of pronotum, narrowed and 

 moderately deflexed in front of the prominent and exserted 

 eyes, lateral margin sinuate, disk strongly longitudinally 

 sulcate; antenna? with the first joint short, shorter than ante- 

 ocular portion of head, second and third joints longest and 

 subequal in length, fourth shorter but longer than first ; 

 rostrum reaching the posterior coxae ; pronotum strongly 

 constricted at about one third from anterior margin, forming 

 a distinct narrow anterior lobe, posterior lobe tumid, about 

 twice as long and much broader than the anterior lobe ; 

 scutellum very strongly conically gibbous and longly though 

 sparingly pilose; corium (excluding cuneus) a little shorter 

 than the abdomen, its lateral margins sinuate, broadest at 

 the area of the interior angle, cuneus longer than broad ; 

 membrane thickly and finely reticulate, with a single, narrow, 

 short, lateral cell. 



Allied to Systellonotus, from which it differs by the broader 

 head, larger and exserted eyes, conically raised scutellum, &c. 

 But for the longitudinally impressed head might be located 

 in the Pilophoraria. 



Nickomachus Sloggetti, sp. n. 



Cinnamon-brown ; eyes, scutellum, base and apical margin 

 of corium, cuneus, disks of meso- and metasterna, and abdo- 

 men beneath black; an oblique transverse fascia in basal 

 black area of corium, a transverse fascia to clavus beyond 

 middle, and a basal fascia to cuneus white ; antennae (ex- 

 cluding basal joint), posterior lobe of pronotum, and apices of 

 femora infuscated ; membrane shining brownish ochraceous ; 

 two transverse subbasal fasciae to abdomen beneath pale
