xin. D, 3 Bergroth: Philippirie Heteroptera, I 87 



Length, female, 3.2 millimeters. 



Negros, Cuernos Mountains. 



Smaller than M. lewisi Dist. and with shorter antennae, the 

 pronotal basal margin less lobately produced before base of 

 elytra, only the apical angle of corium black (not the large ad- 

 jacent area), and with differently colored antennse and legs. 



This genus was previously known from India and New Guinea. 



To the generic characters of Mizaldus Dist. should be added: 

 Head broader than long, eyes rather large, distance between 

 them and base of antennse much shorter than an eye, first joint 

 of rostrum as long as basal joint of antennse, basal margin of 

 pronotum in front of elytra depressed and more or less lobately 

 produced,^" scutellum broader than long, at apex very shortly 

 carinate and acuminate, clavus with three rows of punctures, the 

 commissure one-third the length of scutellum, apical margin of 

 corium sinuate in its interior half, veins of membrane almost 

 straight, fourth ventral segment with two sublateral glandular 

 spots, the posterior of which is placed midway between the basal 

 and apical margins, front femora little incrassated, unarmed, 

 first joint of hind tarsi one-half longer than the other joints 

 together. 



Distant says in his description of the genus: "head long, 

 pronotum with the anterior angles a little prominent, a little 

 more than half the width of base, the lateral margins very 

 strongly sinuate." All these characters are wrong and at va- 

 riance with his figure, which is correct, barring the apical margin 

 of the corium, which is represented as straight. The corium 

 in its inner half is rather feebly separated from the membrane, 

 but it is not difficult to trace the whole apical margin, which 

 in its interior half is rather deeply and angularly sinuate. 



Faelicianus summus sp. nov. ^ 



Oblong, glabrous, black (rarely castaneous), pronotum with 

 the depressed lateral margins luteous (above and beneath) from 

 their apex to a little beyond the transverse impression, posterior 

 pronotal lobe with a more or less distinct testaceous spot or vitta 

 on each side, rarely with a median longitudinal whitish line 

 in its anterior half, clavus with a rather long basal and a short 

 apical streak luteous, corium in its basal part (as far as to the 

 level of the scutellar apex and including the corresponding part 

 of the epipleura) luteous, followed by a broad fuscous fascia, 



"This character is thus described by Distant: "lateral angles exca- 

 vated."
