feet castaueous : pleura piceous ; first pair of tibiae black at the 

 apex. Head very densely rugulose : last joint of the antennae oblong- 

 oval, as large as the third : second joint of the rostrum a little thickened, 

 distinctly curved : anterior part of the pronotum minutely reticulose, 

 the reticulation unequal, posterior part transversely rugulose, the wrink- 

 lets equal, very dense, punctulate : scutellum as long as the pronotum, 

 rugulose like the posterior part of the pronotum, exceeding by one-sixth 

 the basal breadth ; a little dilated at the extreme tip, broadly rounded, 

 almost truncated, margin broadly depressed : hemelytra distinctly punc- 

 tured ; exterior area of corium divided into two parts by a straight 

 stria ; marginal part narrow, puuctulate, the anterior part broad, very 

 smooth: membrane flavescent (^iSc/nocZ^e). Long, 9 J — 10 1 mill. 



Reported from Rangpur (Bengal) : a single specimen from Jalpai- 

 gori.

Briefly obovate : rostrum as long as the pectus : second joint of 

 antennae one-fourth longer than the third : scutellum transversely stria- 

 ted, acutely rounded at the apex : hemelytra smooth. Weakly fulvous- 

 castaneous ; a double somewhat ring-shaped patch on the anterior part 

 of the pronotum and the humeral protuberances, piceous : first pair of 

 tibiae fuscous at the apex ; a transversely linear black spot near the pos- 

 terior margin of the fifth ventral segment, somewhat triangularly dilated 

 forwards in the middle of the segment : last ventral segment in S , 

 piceous. Head strongly rugose: last joint of the antennae elongate. 

 Sovate, one fourth longer than the third : second joint of rostrum curved 

 as regards the form of the anterior setae : pronotum more distinctly con- 

 stricted than in S. molginus and more narrowed towards the apex, an- 

 terior part more deeply reticulose, posterior part transversely striated, 

 the striae robust, here and there confluent : scutellum scarcely longer than 

 the pronotum, exceeding by one sixth the basal breadth, transversely 

 striated, the striae rather regular, deep, gradually more distant towards 

 the apex ; apex scarcely dilated, acutely rounded, margin narrowly de- 

 pressed : hemelytra smooth or very obsoletely punctured, exterior area 

 of corium divided by an inwardly arched stria ; marginal part broad, 

 interior part narrow, linear, dilated towards the apex : membrane flaves" 

 cent (^Schiodte). Long, 7 mill. 



Reported from Travancore.
