Mr, W. L. Distant on Coreide. 427 
This genus, which I originally proposed for the reception 
of a Neotropical species, is now found, like Leptocorisa and 
other allied genera, to be very widely distributed. 
Mr. Ridley has appended a note to his specimens—“ Ex- 
cessively common in sugar-field.” 
Curupira distincta, sp. n. 
Ochraceous; anterior third of pronotum and the sternum 
plumbageous; basal two thirds of pronotum, posterior angles 
of prosternum, base of scutellum, and inner margins of lateral 
lobes to head purplish black ; abdomen beneath reddish ochra- 
ceous, its base plumbageous and its lateral margins luteous. 
Pronotum, sternum, and scutellum thickly and coarsely 
punctate; second joint of the antenne distinctly shorter than 
the third; spine to scutellum long and obliquely ascendant.
