172 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 
moderately rounded and longitudinally submarginally impressed, anterior margin about 
three-fourths the breadth of posterior margin, and moderately concave ; scutellum about 
as long as broad at base, subtriangular, transversely impressed before middle ; hemelytra 
convex, lateral margins rounded, apices roundly truncate, venation as shown in Plate 12, 
fig. 10; femora moderately thickened, tibize setose, posterior tibize about as long as head, 
pronotum and scutellum together. 
96. Seychellesanus typicus, sp. n. (Plate 12, fig. 10). 
Head, pronotum and scutellum rosy-red ; hemelytra dull ochraceous, the apical cells 
paler in hue; antennze with the first and second joints pale ochraceous, remainder a little 
darker in hue; legs ochraceous ; lateral margins of hemelytra rosy-red; body above 
pilose ; hemelytra posteriorly depressed and finely but distinctly punctate ; other 
structural characters as in generic diagnosis. 
Long. 1 mm. 
Loc. Seychelles. Mahé: 6 specimens, all found among damp dead leaves (mostly 
of palms) on ground, in valley contaming many Stevensonia palms, above Cascade, 
ca. 1000 feet (cf. Ceratocombus insularis). 
In these specific descriptions I have not attempted to describe in words the venation 
of the hemelytra. This feature is accurately and better demonstrated by the enlarged 
figures taken under the microscope by the artist, Mr H. Knight. 
97. Seychellesanus picturatus, sp. n. (Plate 12, fig. 11). 
Body above castaneous-red, hemelytra a little paler and transversely crossed at base 
by a broad white fascia which contains anteriorly a dull red spot on each side and also is 
laterally margined with the same colour; antenne with the first and second joints 
ochraceous, remainder a little darker in hue; legs ochraceous; head longly and hemelytra 
more shortly pilose; hemelytra less distinctly veined than in the preceding species 
(S. typicus), and more finely punctate. 
Long. 1 mm. 
Loc. Seychelles. Mahé: Cascade Estate, about 800 feet, 1 specimen. 
98. Seychellesanus variegatus, sp. n. (Plate 12, figs. 12, 13, 14). 
Typical form (fig. 12). 
Head testaceous; pronotum, scutellum and hemelytra, black; hemelytra with a 
broad central whitish fascia separated by the tegminal suture and with an attached white 
spot on each side, three apical greyish-white spots on each side of apex; legs and antennze 
pale ochraceous. 
Var. a (fig. 14). Differing from typical form in having the central white fascia to 
the hemelytra without the attached white spots on each side, the apical spots darker and 
with some longitudinal slightly paler discal fasciee. 
Var. b (fig. 18). Hemelytra with a pale narrow submarginal fascia on each side 
of scutellum, some pale lines on each side of the central white fascia, eight linear white
