Hide-known Ethiopian Hemiptera. 197 



Hemelytra apicem abdominis paullura superautia, corio (limbo 

 laterali excepto) dense et crasse reticulato. 

 Long., J , 16 mm. 



Uganda: Sunga Masaka (C. C. Goiodey). 



A large species, easily recognized from all others. 



PJionolihes himaculatus, Dist. 



Distant has omitted the principal character of this species : 

 the non-reticulated corium, whicli has a single oblique trans- 

 verse vein in the mesocorium. The antennae are broken in 

 the female specimen before me ; in the male the third joint 

 is incrassated (as in Pli. tricolor, Bergr.), and I suppose that 

 this is a secondary male sexual character. 



Of this species I have also seen a bracliypterous specimen 

 in which the heuielytra are convergent, only twice the leugth 

 of the scutellum, and with the membrane quite rudimentary, 



NyaSALAND: between Mlanji and Zomba, 2000-3000 feet 

 (S. A. Neave) ; N.E. RHODESIA: Fort Jameson, 3800 feet 

 {S. A. Neave).
