Division Bryocoraria. 

 Genus Physetonotus. 



In the ' Biologia Centrali-Americana ' (Rhynchota, vol. i. 

 p. 285) I followed Stal in placing his Eccritotarsus pallidi- 

 rostris in the genus he had himself founded. I, however, 

 placed it in a distinct section of the genus — " b. Body ovate. 

 Pronotum prominently gibbous." Subsequently Dr. Reuter 

 (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. lxi. p. 394, 1892) has proposed the genus 

 Fhysetonotus for the reception of these species, making 

 P. atratus, Dist. (Eccritotarsus), the type. The following 

 species must also be included : — 



Eccritotarsus pallidirostris, Stal ; E. incurvus, Dist. ; 

 E. gibbus, Dist. ; E. porrectus, Dist. ; E. impavidus, Dist. ; 

 E. perobscurus, Dist.; E. tenebrosus, Dist.; E. nocturnus, 

 Dist. ; E. marginatus } Dist. ; and E. procurvens, Dist. 



Araspus, gen. nov. 



Ovate, posteriorly widened. Head deflected from in front of 

 eyes, which are large, projecting beyond but not touching 

 anterior margin of pronotum. Antennas with the first joint 

 slightly longer than head, a little thickened towards apex ; 

 second joint considerably longer than first, very prominently 

 incrassate and pilose on its apical half; third joint slender; 

 remainder mutilated. Rostrum apparently reaching the inter- 

 mediate coxas (the type a carded specimen) ; pronotum with 

 the basal margin rather more than twice the width of anterior 

 margin, basal margin truncate, becoming oblique towards 

 posterior angles ; scutellum tumid, basally foveate ; corium
