160 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 
Félicité, from forest. Originally recorded from La Digue. Mr Scott collected a large 
series, almost entirely from the endemic forests. The majority of specimens were found 
under bark, but some were found between the leaf-bases of a growing Stevensonia palm 
near Morne Blane, and several others in a similar situation on the summit of Mount 
Sebert, 28. XII. 1908. 
64. Pictinus varicolor, sp. n. (Plate 11, fig. 17). 
Black; base of membrane irregularly, broadly pale flavescent; connexivum 
testaceous; legs castaneous; sternum more or less piceous; abdomen beneath casta- 
neous; antennze piceous, first joint strongly incrassate, shorter than head, second joint 
moderately incrassate, attenuate at base, a little shorter than first, third longest and 
more slender, fourth short, thick, pyriform, about as long as second; pronotum broader 
than long, the lateral margins obliquely sinuate, obtusely angularly toothed before 
middle, the posterior angles subprominent and subnodulose, anterior lobe with four 
prominent tubercles arranged in pairs, between which is a longitudinal ridge, posterior 
margin prominent; scutellum strongly ridged laterally and centrally; corium shorter 
than scutellum; membrane with venation indiscernible ; body beneath imperfectly seen 
in the carded unique type. 
Long. 3 mm. 
Loc. Seychelles. Mahé: Cascade Estate 800—1000 feet. 
65. Newroctenus caffer (Stal). 
Brachyrhynchus caffer Stal, Ofv. Vetensk.-Akad. Forh., 1855, p. 38. 
Loc. Seychelles. Silhouette, Mare aux Cochons. Mahé, Cascade Estate, ca. 1000 
feet. Not uncommon in South Africa and recorded from Madagascar and Rodriguez. 
66. Aneurus bicolor, sp. n. (Plate 11, fig. 18). 
Black ; central lobe to head, elevations to anterior lobe of pronotum, hemelytra, 
connexivum, abdomen beneath, tibize and tarsi castaneous; antenne black, first joint 
short, strongly incrassate, not reaching apex of head, second and third joints less 
incrassate than first, short, subequal in length, fourth longest, cylindrical; head rugosely 
punctate, the separation of the central lobe incised, pronotum broader than long, anterior 
lobe with a flattened transverse elevation on each side, lateral margins moderately 
sinuate ; scutellum a little broader than long, its apex broadly rounded ; corium a little 
longer than scutellum; membrane not reaching abdominal apex; connexivum broad, 
moderately upturned; membrane with indiscernible venation, reflecting the castaneous 
coloration beneath. 
Long. 34 to 4 mm. 
Loc. Seychelles. Mahé: from near Morne Blane. Praslin: from Coco-de-mer 
forest in the Vallée de Mai, Cétes d’Or Estate, XI. 1908. 
A species of this genus, A. brevisculatus Bergr., has been described from Madagascar, 
but the structure of the scutellum alone is sufficient to differentiate the species. It is
