HEM1PTERA HETEROPTERA. 525 



Black, shining-, thinly punctured, rather longer than broad. Head 

 luleous ; a black space on the hind border including a luteous point ; 

 middle lobe bordered with brown. Eyes testaceous. Rostrum, antenna 

 and legs pale yellow. Thorax with two large luteous patches which 

 occupy the sides in front. Scutellum with a smooth basal band divided 

 from the punctured part by a slight transverse furrow; two luteous oblique 

 subapical somewhat conical patches connected with each other; tip hardly 

 emarginate. Abdomen beneath with pale luleous patches along each side. 

 Length of the body if line. 



Nearest in character to C. biplagiata, from which it differs much in 

 the form of the apical mark on the scutellum.
