seen it from Valdivia (Walker), Temiico, Jan. 1906 (Middleton) ; 

 Terra del Fuego, Dec. 1904, several (Crawshay);* Santiago 

 (Rees), and Patagonia (Chubut). (7) Pimpla sponsa, Hal., is a 

 female Itoplectis. (8) Gampoplex fngitivus, Hal., is a Limnerium 

 sensii lato, and single male and female are correctly associated. 

 The Chrysis there named C. cceridans, F., which seems not to 

 extend south of Guatemala, is much more closely allied to 

 Tetrachrysis carinata, Spin. The specimen of Ophion luteus, 

 Linn., that Haliday records thence is correctly named. 



Many of the genera, ascribed to his species by Cameron in 

 • Biologia Centrali-Americana,' vol. i. pp. 135 (1884)-312 (1886), 

 are incorrect, and some of the Mesolepti are referable to Lisso- 

 notini ; but it is too long a task to touch here, and I will only 

 say that a somewhat small proportion of the types are not in 

 Mus. Brit., being either lost or in the Vienna Museum, where I 

 believe all Bilimek's collection is to be sought. 



RHYNCHOTA INDICA (HETEROPTERA). 

 By W. L. Distant. 



Fam. BERYTID.E. 

 Capys gracilis, sp. n. 



(? . Head ochraceous, the lateral margins behind eyes and a 

 somewhat circular series of coarse black punctures at base, enclosing 

 ocelli, black ; pronotum with the anterior area ochraceous, remainder 

 thickly blackly punctate with the margins and a central line ochra- 

 ceous, scutellum blackly punctate ; corium ochraceous, thickly finely 

 blackly punctate ; membrane greyish brown with scattered blackish 

 markings ; connexivum ochraceous with elongate black spots ; body 

 beneath black, abdomen with lateral marginal elongate ochraceous 

 spots, coxaB ochraceous ; antennae with the first and second joints 

 ochraceous finely speckled with black, fourth joint black, first joint 

 more than twice as long as second, subequal in length to third, apex 

 of first joint distinctly incrassate, fourth short and moderately thick- 

 ened ; head between antennge armed with a moderately long curved 

 spiniform porrect process ; pronotum longer than broad, elongate, 

 only moderately widened posteriorly; membrane reaching apex of 

 abdomen; rostrum about reaching the posterior coxae, its apical joint 

 black. 



5 . Abdomen beneath testaceous ; membrane not reaching apex 

 of alDdomen. 6^ to 7 millim. 



Hah. Trichinopoly. 



Differs from C. malacaipus, Stal, by the slightly shorter and 

 somewhat more robust spiniform process to the head, the narrower 

 pronotum, and the shorter and more thickened apical joint to 

 the antennae. Dr. Montandon kindly forwarded me this species.

 is iucorrect, anil refers to Crtjytus bellosus, Ciirt. {Aritanis signatorius, Fab.)<
