and subequal to fourth. Pronotum with the basal margin 

 broadly and not very deeply sinuate, lateral margin a little 

 sinuate, the front lobe almost impunctate, somewhat longer than 

 the finely and sparsely punctate rear lobe. Scutellum very finely 

 and sparsely punctate. Corium and clavus finely punctate. 

 First joint of hind tarsi three-fourths longer than the other joints 

 together. 



Length, female, 2.5 to 3.3 millimeters.

In the unusual coloration of the pronotum this species much 

 resembles the Indian C. sig^iandus Dist., but according to the 

 description and figure the apical margin of the corium in 

 signandus is straight, which would place it in Antillocoris. 

 Distant has, however, in so many cases described this margin 

 as straight in species that have it conspicuously sinuate in the 

 interior half, that the possibility and even probability of 

 signandus being a true Cligenes must be taken into account. 

 In some of the small Myodochidse with interiorly sinuate apical 

 margin of the corium the membrane has near the sinuosity a 

 fold that, if not carefully examined, may be mistaken for a 

 straight continuation of the exterior half of the corial apical 

 margin, especially if this margin be of almost the same color as 

 the membrane. This is the case with the two new species of 

 Cligenes described in the present paper. At any rate C. 

 assimulans cannot be the same species as signandus, the an- 

 tennse being quite differently colored, and the pronotum less 

 deeply sinuate basally in assimulans, 



Cligenes validulus sp. nov. 



Oval, somewhat plump, black, apex of scutellum and a spot 

 on acetabula testaceous, corium and clavus of a livid whitish 

 testaceous hue with blackish puncturation, apical angle of corium 

 somewhat blackened, membrane hyaline, male genital segment 

 castaneous; antennae, rostrum, and legs testaceous. Head al- 

 most impunctate, first joint of antennae shorter than second and 

 almost as long as third, fourth slightly longer than third. Pro- 

 notum finely and rather thickly punctate, lateral margins very 

 slightly sinuate behind middle, basal margin broadly sinuate. 

 Scutellum punctate, the same as pronotum. Corium finely punc- 

 tate. First joint of hind tarsi somewhat longer than the others 

 together. 



Length, male, 2.3 millimeters.

This is one of the species that, if seen straight from above,
