From the former it differs in having the space between the eyes 

 and the base of the antennse much shorter than the eye, from 

 the latter in the first antennal joint being produced much more 

 beyond the apex of the head, from both in the narrower vertex 

 and the absence of the two (or four) exserted setse on it, in 

 the structure of the rostrum and the scutellum, in having the 

 spinulous part of the fore femora extended farther toward the 

 base, and the fore tibiae not denticulated beneath in either sex. 

 In the above description of F. summiis I have supplemented the 

 necessary generic characters. 



Faelicianus exilicomis sp. nov. 



Glabrous, black; the depressed lateral margins of the pro- 

 thorax, a sublateral spot to the posterior pronotal lobe, an almost 

 percurrent streak to the clavus (subinterrupted behind the 

 middle) , and the basal part of the corium as far as to the level 

 of the scutellar apex and including the corresponding part of 

 the epipleura luteous; posterior part of corium fuscous with 

 a luteous spot at the interior apical angle and a similar costal 

 spot almost opposite the other but placed a little farther back, 

 membrane pellucid tinged with testaceous; antennse, rostrum, 

 and legs testaceous, all coxae and trochanters, front femora (ex- 

 cept apex), and base of middle and hind femora black; finely 

 but rather deeply and very thickly punctulate, somewhat less 

 finely so on posterior pronotal lobe and corium, abdomen im- 

 punctate. Head with the bucculae a little raised, antennse 

 slender, second joint very slightly incrassated toward apex, 

 fourth not thicker than third. Pronotum one-half broader 

 than long in the middle, laterally scarcely sinuate behind the 

 middle, the depressed lateral margins narrow and not at all 

 dilated inwardly at the transverse impression, the hinder lobe 

 very distinctly shorter than the fore lobe. Elytra (male) very 

 slightly passing apex of abdomen. 



Length, male, 4.5 millimeters.

Apparently allied to F. luteicojmis Walk., but with the rear 

 lobe of the pronotum distinctly shorter than the front lobe, 

 scarcely sinuate pronotal lateral margins, and differently 

 colored legs. From F. summus it is at once distinguished by 

 the thicker and deeper (though not coarser) punctation, the 

 more slender and one-colored antennae, the narower and at the 

 transverse impression not inwardly dilated pronotal lateral 

 margins, and the quite different coloration of the membrane and 

 four posterior legs.
