XIII, D. 3 Bergroth: Philippine Heteroptera, I 79 



terior lobe, which is less declivous than the posterior lobe and 

 has its greatest width behind the middle, collar well marked, 

 at the sides usually shortly, dentately produced outward. Scutel- 

 lum subequilaterally triangular with a feebly marked, Y-shaped, 

 percurrent, impunctate ridge, the anterior branches of which 

 are scarcely elevated. Elytra with their costal margins parallel 

 from base to beyond middle, exocorium gradually widening from 

 end of its basal fifth to beyond middle, then subparallel, clavus 

 with four rows of punctures, the second (next inner) row 

 abbreviated anteriorly (where it joins the third row) and pos- 

 teriorly, the commissure more than half the length of scutellum, 

 corium with the rimula running along inner margin of radius, 

 ending behind its middle, disk of mesocorium with a row of 

 punctures along the posterior part of the rimula and continued 

 to the apical margin, which is straight, shorter than the claval 

 suture; membrane with an oblique transverse impressed fold 

 near the base. Metapleura with acute posterior angles. Abdo- 

 men beneath more or less distinctly keeled on the middle. Fore 

 femora incrassate, with the basal half thicker than the apical 

 half, more or less spined beneath, fore tibiae straight, middle 

 and hind tibiae sparsely set with short bristles, first joint of 

 hind tarsi less than two times longer than the others together. 



Distant placed the genus near Pamera, to which it has a 

 superficial resemblance, but in my opinion it is more related 

 to Altomarus Dist. and Bedunia Stal, although the postocular 

 part of the head is much shorter. As the original description 

 of the genus is defective and as Distant knew but one species 

 of it, I have thought it necessary to redescribe it. The scheme 

 of coloration is the same in each of the four species hitherto 

 known. 



Pamerana subinermis sp. nov. 



Black, venter somewhat paler in hue, sometimes dingy tes- 

 taceous; pronotum (except in the middle and laterally) and 

 apical margin of prosternum, two vittse and a small humeral 

 spot to posterior pronotal lobe, posterior half (or somewhat 

 more) of scutellar lateral margins, a short basal streak and 

 the interstice between the two exterior rows of punctures of 

 clavus (except toward apex), the claval suture and commissure, 

 an oblong spot near inner apical angle of corium, its cubital 

 vein from base to beyond middle, a short subapical streak on 

 the radial vein (and sometimes the adjacent part of the meso- 

 and exocorium and an oblong central suffusion to the latter), 

 costal border of corium (except the extreme margin), and the
