(384) 2. * Pentatoma variegata. Variegated Pentatoma. 



P. (variegata) albo, sanguineo, nigroque variegata; prothorace subincarnato fasciis duabus nigris, posteriori basilari subin- 

 terrupta ; capite antice, scutello hemehjtrisque margine laterali, albis; ventre macula magna biloba nigra, inlus utrinquc 

 pubescente-cinerea. 



Variegated Pentatoma, body variegated with white, sanguine, and black ; prothorax inclining to flesh-colour, with two black 

 bands, the posterior basilar, subinterrupted ; the head anteriorly, lateral margin of the scutellum and hemelytra, 

 white ; underside of the abdomen with a large bilobed black discoidal spot, internally on each side pubescent 

 with ash-coloured down. 



Length of the body 3 lines. 



A single specimen taken in the road from New York to Cumberland-house. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Upper surface of the body punctured. Head, excluding the prominent eyes, subtrapezoidal, 

 black, with the margin below the eyes, white ; promuscis extending to the base of the hind legs, 

 pallid, black at the tip ; antennae black : prothorax transverse with lateral angles obtuse ; pallid with 

 a tint of flesh-colour especially at the angles, with a broad anterior and narrow posterior black band, 

 both abbreviated on each side, and the latter almost divided into two ; scutellum an isosceles triangle 

 obtuse at the apex, black with the lateral margin pallid : hemelytra black with a pallid lateral margin, 

 membrane embrowned : underside of the trunk black spotted with pallid and sanguine, punctured : 

 tibia? and apex of the thighs black ; base of the thighs sanguine : abdomen below punctured at the 

 sides, sanguine, with a large black discoidal spot, rather nearer the anus ; nearly divided into two ; 

 on the sides and at the base naked, but a quadrangular space of the inner side of each division, is 

 covered with decumbent subcinereous pile. 



N. B. The antepectus is entirely pallid, but the socket, if it may be so called, of the legs is 

 redder at the margin than the rest. 



xxx. * Subgenus Nf.ottigi.ossa. 



Nose shorter than the cheeks. 



Bed of the promuscis elevated on each side at the base. 



In the typical Pentatomce the part which I regard as analogous to a nose is of the same length 

 with the two lateral lobes of the front, and the base of the cavity in which the promuscis reposes 

 when unemployed is not so elevated. 



(385) 3. # Pentatoma (Neottiglossa) trilineata. Three-lined P. Neottiglossa. 



P. N. (trilineata) nigro-anea, punctatissima ; supra lurida punctis nigris ; prothoracis lateribus, cum scutelli linea intermedia 



longitudinali, albis. 

 Three-lined P. Neottiglossa, nigro-aeneous, thickly punctured; above lurid with the punctures black; the sides of the 



prothorax and a longitudinal intermediate line common to it and the scutellum, white.
