half is finely shagreened, the posterior half being long-ovally 

 and sharply depressed, almost f oveate ; this area rugose. Vertex 

 with a strong sharp continuous median carina, and with deep 

 interocular depressions on either side of median carina, leaving 

 strong folds next eye, which, passing forward, bend suddenly 

 from eyes to apex of vertex, and posteriorly gradually converge 

 along lines of eye margins to posterior margins of vertex near 

 the median carina. Pronotum and anterior area of scutellum 

 tuberculate, but not at all rugose; posterior area of scutellum 

 distinctly longer than wide and obscurely transversely wrinkled. 

 Tegmina frequently with a whitish bloom. 



Luzon, Laguna, Mount Maquiling {Baker). Frequent, and 

 apparently a forest inhabitant. 



Jassus conspersus Stal. 



This species is well marked by the numerous yellowish dots 

 and the reddish or brownish lateral stripes of the front.

Jassus conspersiis Stai. 



The propleurse below the carinse are only slightly concave poste- 

 riorly where they are narrowly wrinkled, the remainder of the 

 surface being thickly coarsely shagreened. Structure of vertex 

 totally different from that of /. obscurus. The median carina 

 becomes obsolete anteriorly; the lateral folds are only distinct 

 posteriorly where they join the posterior margin distant from 

 median carina ; disk of vertex anteriorly not at all or only slightly 

 depressed, but with strong oblique rugae which converge at apex 

 of vertex; disk posteriorly with 2 depressions, each midway 

 between carina and lateral fold. Pronotum and anterior fold 

 of scutellum with large tubercles, and the former also trans- 

 versely subobsoletely wrinkled. Tegmina frequently with a 

 strong greenish tinge.
