Eurylochus bellator sp. nov. 



Head with eyes about one-half broader than long, subequal to 

 width of anterior margin of thorax, including the processes. Eyes 

 large, globose, prominent, distance between them equal to the 

 breadth of one eye ; seen from side they occupy nearly the entire 

 lateral part of the head. Ocelli situated back of the impressed line 

 running from eye to eye. Median deep impression on vertex 

 meeting the transverse impression. Antennae slender. First joint 

 stoutest, curved, rugulose longitudinally; second joint pilose, slen- 

 derer than the first and five times as long; third and fourth joints 

 filiform, pilose, fourth shortest. Rostrum moderately stout, 

 curved, reaching middle of prosternum in the excavation. Pro- 

 notum about one half shorter than broad at the base, which is 

 rounded, more than twice as broad posteriorly as anteriorly. 

 Anterior angles provided with peculiar, blunt, somewhat irregular 

 outwardly directed processes. Posterior angles spined, spines 

 directed more or less posteriorly. Scutellum twice as broad at 

 base as long, including the black semi-erect spine at apex. Ab- 

 domen wider than hemelytra and hollowed, margin entire, with 

 a blunt keel beneath, not quite twice as long as broad, Hemelytra 

 reaching or slightly surpassing abdomen ; membrane large. Legs 

 simple ; femora postapically annulate with black ; tibiae black ex- 

 cept the basal fifth. Connexival edge with a black line at each 

 suture, from which spring two branching lines. Upper part of 

 insect speckled and mottled irregularly with brown and black. 

 Meso- and metathorax black, rugulose ; middle pale patch on both. 

 Abdomen pale with a black mark at each segment at the con- 

 nexivum and a row of black spots one on the anterior edge of each 

 segment midway between the keel and the edge of the connexivum. 

 Genital segment black.
