tursl with tlie first joint distinctly longer than the second 

 and third joints together. 



Allied to Arocatus by the long scutelluni, but differing 

 from that genus by the structure of the scutelluni and by the 

 produced metasternal lateral angles. 



Consivius collinus, sp. n. 



Body above sanguineous ; antennse, eyes, an angular patch 

 on each side of base of head (including the ocelli), anterioi 

 marginal area, and a transverse somewhat bimaculate spot 

 on each side of base of pronotum, basal half of scutelluni, 

 clavus, two spots on inner margin of clavus, and a large trans- 

 verse spot behind middle of corium, the apical angle of the 

 latter, and the membrane black, apical margin of the membrane 

 paler; body beneath sanguiueou.s,rostrum, basal margin of head, 

 anteriormarginal areas of pro- and mesosterna, a prominent spot 

 on the lateral areas of both meso- and metasterna, transverse 

 fasciae to abdominal segments (not reaching lateral margins), 

 coxEe and legs, black ; excluding membrane and including 

 legs and antennae greyishly pilose, the head at anterior 

 margin very longly pilose ; antennas with the second, third, 

 and fourth joints about subequal in lejigth, first and fourth 

 distinctly incrassated ; pronotum somewhat coarsely granu- 

 lose ; scutelluni coarsely granulosely punctate.

Nysius minor J sp. n. 



Resembling iV. ceylanicus^ Motsch., but as a rule smaller 

 in size; antennai with the second and third joints ochra- 

 ceous or brownish ochraceous, first and fourth joints more or 

 less piceous, second and third joints of antennge subequal in 

 length, whereas in N. ceylanicus the second joint is distinctly 

 longer than the third, and all the joints piceous in coloration. 



Long. 3 mm. 



Hah. Bengal ; Pusa and Patna. 



Nysius lacustrinus, sp. n. 



Head ochraceous, the margins of the central lobe black 

 and a black cicatral punctate fascia on each side before eyes 

 extending from above antennje to base ; antennae brownish 

 ochraceous, the basal joint blackish ; pronotum ochraceous, 

 darkly punctate, and thus forming longitudinal fascije ; 

 scutellum piceous brown, a pale central line on apex ; body
