By the uniformly coloured corium and membrane allied to 

 M. suhauratus and M. uniformis. From both it differs and 

 is subgenerically distinct by the shorter and comparatively 

 broader pronotum and the short posterior area or lobe, the 

 short corium, &c. 



Ischnodemus erehus, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum, abdomen above, and body 

 beneath black ; corium dull ochraceous, streaked longitu- 

 dinally with castaneous brown ; membrane (reflecting the 

 dark abdomen beneath) black ; femora black, their apices 

 and the whole of the tibiae and tarsi brownish ochraceous ; 

 antennse brownish ochraceous, apical joint (excluding base) 

 blackish, second joint slightly longer than the third, fourth 

 joint considerably longest ; vertex thickly finely granulose; 

 pronotum coarsely punctate and granulose, finely pale pilose, 

 more longly pilose on lateral margins, some obscure tuber- 

 culous elevations on anterior disk ; scutellum granulose and 

 punctate, palely pilose, a little depressed on disk ; corium 

 somewhat strongly palely pilose, especially on lateral margins ; 

 membrane neither reaching the abdominal apex nor covering 

 the connexivum, which is exposed for nearly its entire 

 length. 



Long. 2^-3 mm.

 the exposed connexivum, absence of subapical pale spot to 

 membrane, the granulose head, pronotum, and scutellum, 

 pale anterior tibiae, &c. I have examined a series of this 

 species, but, unfortunately, all the specimens were in a 

 somewhat greasy condition, which rendered the colour- 

 characters more or less difficult to identify, especially as 

 regards the hemelytra. 



Ischnodemus atromacuIatuSy sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum black, palely pilose ; 

 corium pale ochraceous, with the basal angle and a large spot 

 near apex black ; membrane blackish, its basal angle and a 

 spot near the apical margins of corium pale ochraceous ;
