80 MR. W. r. KIRBY OK THE 



reddish, and front femora with a rather strong spine about the 

 middle ; membrane fusco-hyaline, with a hyaline space on the 

 costa before the tip, and another on the hind margin ; thoracic 

 spines black, nearly straight in front aud emarginate behind, 

 giving them a sub-bifid appearance, Antenns9 rufo-testaceous, 

 slightly darker towards the extremity. 



Allied to the Indian G. furcillata, Wolff; but that species 

 has the upper surface and the antennae varied with black, and 

 the thoracic spines are more slender and distinctly directed 

 forwards. 



■*tAS0PUS MACTANS. 



Cimex mactans, Fabr. Spec. Ins. ii. p. 366, n. 168 (1781). 



Two specimens of this well-known and variable East-Indian 

 species from Kandy have much more extensive dark markings 

 above than any of those before me from other localities. One of 

 these has a curved black line, depressed in the middle, bending 

 from one of the inner angles of the prothorax to the other ; and 

 the other specimen has two bands on the tegmina, one forming a 

 long triangle covering nearly the whole of the inner half of the 

 tegmina, and the other above the hinder part of the first, forming 

 a thick line pointed at each end.
