with the eyes subglobose and almost pedunculate; the face prominently 

 convex, almost vertical in front, curving iuferiorly; the tylus prominent; 

 superior cheeks almost vertical, broad triangular, with the apex placed 

 inferiorly ; lower cheeks placed in large part behind the upper ones, 

 thickened, blunt at the lower end ; bucculse slenderly lunate, concave 

 inside, as long as the throat ; rostrum short and stout, inserted on a line 

 running direct from the base of the antennae ; occiput with a carinate 

 collar, which is convexly elevated on the middle, and with an incised 

 line bounding it in front; antennae stout, about as long as the pronotum 

 and body united, the basal joint about as long as the head, a little thick- 

 ened beyond the base, second joint very long, less stout than the basal 

 one, cylindrical, the two apical joints a little more slender. Pronotum 

 transverse, the sides oblique, narrowing anteriorly, the anterior angles 

 rounded, anterior margin moderately concave, with the callosities broad, 

 bilunate, each lobe convex behind, and with the space uniting them 

 concave behind. Femora broad, compressed ; hind tibiae very long. 

 Scutellum triangular, the three sides almost equal, and the surface 

 very feebly convex. Hemelytra short and wide, with the costal margin 

 broadly accuated posteriorly, with the cuneus very large and broad, 

 and the membrane short and attached to the inner side at the end of

L. chloriza, new sp. 



Pale, clear-green, densely pubescent. Head yellowish; face with a 

 blackish circle in front, which is interrupted above ; each side of vertex 

 with a dark-brown dot, and the base of tylus, the suture at the tip of lower 

 cheeks, and the eyes dark piceous. Antennae pale piceous, paler on the 

 basal joint. Eostrum reaching to the intermediate coxae, tinged with 

 piceous at the ends of the joints and on the apex; the basal joint a 

 little longer than the throat, the second a little longer. Pronotum 

 narrower in front than behind, trapezoidal, the sides oblique, the pos- 

 terior margin straight and the anterior one a little concave ; surface 

 green, somewhat yellow anteriorly, with a dark dot each side of poste- 

 rior division, and a brown curved line bounding each lobe of the 

 callosity posteriorly. Under side whitish-green, or very pale^ yellow, 

 with a black spot at the base of the anterior coxae, and one above; also 

 a faint duskiness ai base of the ofcher coxae. Legs bright yellow, or a 

 little greenish, the tarsi somewhat infuscated at tip, and the nails 

 piceous. Scutellum faintly tinged with yellow, closely coated with 

 whitish hair. Corium green, unevenly punctate, the punctures shal- 

 low, and sometimes confluent, those of the claws coarser ; the surface 

 polished, but closely invested with pale, almost erect pubescence ; mem- 

 brane white, with a faint cloud of fuliginous outwardly. Tergum black 

 on the disk, the broad connexivum and the apex orange, the disk 

 smooth, and all the rem lining surface invested with remote prostrate 

 hairs, venter polished, remotely piibasaeiit, yellowish, but a little ob-
