xin. D. 2 Bergroth: Philippine Heteroptera, I 51 



across the humeri at least one-third broader than at apex, 

 apical margin arcuately sinuate, apical angles dentately project- 

 ing forward, lateral margins straight, humeral angles not pro- 

 minent, posterolateral margins a little longer than the slightly 

 subsinuate basal margin with which they form an obtuse angle. 

 Scutellum narrow, longer than broad. Elytra somewhat shorter 

 than abdomen, commissure of clavus much longer than scutellum, 

 apical margin of corium broadly rounded in its interior half, 

 not sinuate toward the apical angle, which reaches about middle 

 of membrane and is narrowly rounded, veins of membrane 

 furcate and united by cross veins here and there. Meso- and 

 metasternum longitudinally grooved in the middle; apical an- 

 gles of metapleura acute. Abdomen in the female with the 

 apical margin of the last segment straight, the apical angles 

 somewhat produced backward but almost right-angled ; spiracles 

 placed before middle of segments; sixth ventral segment with 

 a short triangular basal plica and a fissure behind the plica, the 

 apical margin angularly incised behind the fissure. Legs short, 

 femora unarmed, the front pair when stretched forward reach- 

 ing a little beyond apex of head, the hind pair slightly passing 

 middle of fourth ventral segment, tibise (particularly the fore 

 and hind ones) shorter than femora, not distinctly sulcate above, 

 first joint of hind tarsi as long as the other two together. 



Somewhat related to the preceding genus, but with quite 

 diff'erently constructed juga, antennae, and pronotum, longer 

 claval commissure, less produced apical angle of corium, and 

 shorter legs. 



Type of the genus, Xenoceraea hakeri sp. nov. 



Xenoceraea bakeri sp. nov. 



Dull testaceous (including antennae, rostrum, and legs), last 

 an tennal joint and a small spot at humeral angles of pronotum 

 fuscous, extreme apex of clavi, apical margin of acetabula, a 

 small spot on propleura and mesopleura, a few small interior 

 spots on metapleura, apical angles of abdominal segments, a 

 diffuse subapical fascia to last dorsal segment, and irregular 

 speckles on the sides of venter arranged in two or three longi- 

 tudinal rows blackish; punctate with pale brown, very finely 

 so on head and pronotal cicatrical areas; coarsely, thickly, and 

 seriately punctate on corium and clavus; puncturation of con- 

 nexivum irregular and fuscous. Head much longer than broad, 

 second antennal joint a little longer than first, fourth one-third 

 the length of third. Pronotum in the middle slightly shorter
