Discoceplialinse and Peiitatomina3. 423 



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 with 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 the length of abdomen, apex narrowed 

 and rounded. Corium with 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 coxse. 

 Antennee mutilated. Margins of the abdomen ampliated 

 posteriorly and obtusely dentate at segmental apices. 



Allied to Coriplaius, but separable at once by the length of 

 the scutellum as well as by the other characters detailed.

Genus OCHLEEUS. 



OcMerns discolor, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 194. n. 15 (1867), 

 queried by Lethierry and Severin as a variety of Ochlerus 

 Diargiiuttus, 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 Brachystethus mar- 

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

 will be decided when that genus is arranged. 



Genus LiNCUS. 



Lincus rufospilotus.

Hemingius, gen. nov. 



Body oblong. Head moderately long, central lobe a little 

 longer than the lateral lobes, obscurely toothed in front of
