HEMIPTJ8RA HETEROPTEEA. 507 



It agrees mostly with the description of C. rudis ; but the latter is said 

 to be very deeply punctured. It is closely allied to C. parentum, but in 

 (be latter there is a broad purple band on the hind part of the head, and 

 the arrangement of the spots on the thorax and on the scutellum is very 

 different.

Ochraceus, subtiliter punctatus ; caput margine postico vittaque lanceolala 

 nigris ; thorax angiitis posticis maculisque cluabus parvis transversis 

 nigris ; scutellum nigro oclunotatum ; pectus nigrum, ochraceo pallido

 duabus magnis poslerioribus maculisque parvis marginalibus nigris; 

 pedes nigri; alee antica. luridce. 



Ochraceous, elongate, paler beneath. Head black along the hind 

 border and with a black lanceolate stripe which does not extend to the fore 

 border, black beneath except along each side. Eyes, rostrum, antennae 

 and legs black ; joints of the antenna from the third to the fifth successively 

 decreasing in length; second about half the length of the third. Thorax 

 with the hind angles slightly obtuse; fore border black; a small transverse 

 black spot on each side near the fore border. Scutellum with eight black 

 marks; two basal dots; a quadrangular spot near the base, with a dot on 

 each side of it; an oblique dot on each side at a little beyond the middle 

 and a smaller dot nearer the tip. Pectus black, except along each side. 

 Abdomen beneath with three short interrupted black bands, and with two 

 large posterior black spots and with small black marginal spots. Fore wings 

 lurid. Length of the body 10 lines. 



It may be the female of C. inscitus, and it differs still more than the 

 latter from C. parentum.
