front ; lateral lobes longer than the central, their apices rounded 

 and subfoliaceous, the lateral margins angularly sinuate 

 about midway between eyes and apex ; eyes exserted. Pro- 

 notum witli a long and strong spine at each anterior angle of 

 the lateral margins and with a much smaller spine before the 

 posterior angles, which are broadly and laminately produced, 

 their apices subtruncate, but broadly and acutely sinuate. 

 Scutellum of about half tiie length of abdomen, apex narrowed 

 and rounded. Corium wnth the apex extending a little 

 beyond scutellum, its outer margin moderately convex; 

 membrane reaching apex of abdomen, veins coarse and 

 reticulate. Rostrum extending a little beyond posterior coxje. 

 Antennffi mutilated. Margins of the abdomen ampliated 

 posteriorly and obtusely dentate at segmental apices. 



Allied to Coriplahis^ but separable at once by the length of 

 the scutellum as well as by the other characters detailed.

 Genus OCHLERUS. 



Ochlerns discolor, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 19f. n. 15 (1867), 

 queried by Lethierry and Severin as a variety of Uchlerus 

 marginatus, Fabr. (Cat. Gen. des Hem. t. i. p. 91), belongs 

 to the genus Brachystethus, and is identical with the species 

 subsequently described by Walker as Brachijstethus mar- 

 ginifer (Cat. Het. iii. p. 456, 1868). Its specific position 

 will be decided when that genus is arranged. 



Genus LiNCUS.
