Length, male, 7.3 millimeters; female, 8 to 8.5. 



Male. — Abdomen slightly broader than the closed elytra, apical 

 angles of fourth and fifth segments a little prominent. 



Female. — Abdomen considerably broader than the closed elytra, 

 apical angles of fourth and fifth segments not prominent. 



Variety (viale) . — First antennal joint, a subbasal annulation 

 to second joint, forelegs (except coxse and trochanters), middle 

 femora (except base), apex of hind femora, and first joint of 

 middle and hind tarsi ferruginous. 



Luzon, Laguna, Mount Maquiling. 



A very distinct species, remarkable by its myrmecoid aspect 

 and also reminding one of the mirid genus Pilophorus. The 

 only male I have seen belongs to the above-described variety. 



In another periodical " I have given the differential characters 

 of the closely allied genera Hyginus Stal and Artemidorus Dist. 

 Distant correctly places Hyginus (with its synonym Hyginel- 

 lus Dist.) in the Heterogastrinse, but still refers Artemidorus 

 and Nerthus Dist. (another synonym of Hyginus!) to the 

 Colobathristidse !

Fuscous, pronotal apical lobe and center of median lobe paler, 

 postocular part and underside of head ferruginous, base of elytra 

 ochraceous, abdomen dingy testaceous, last segment above and 

 beneath and female genital segment dark fuscous, the other 

 segments betv^een middle and lateral margins above with a trans-

 trum, and legs pilose. Head as long as pronotum, posterior 

 lobe a little broader than long and as broad as the width across 

 the eyes (female), laterally strongly rounded, vertex in the

 head and apical pronotal lobe together, first joint reaching apex 

 of head, second as long as the distance between apex of anten- 

 niferous tubercles and the postocular constriction, third a little
