Subfamily SGUTELLERINJE. 



Chrysocoris indigoferus, sp. n. 



Above metallic-green ; central lobe of head, three broad longitu- 

 dinal fasciae to pronotum — not reaching anterior margin and the two 

 outermost broken near apices — and a spot near lateral angles, 

 scutellum with three large spots on each side, a very small basal, a 

 large discal elongate spot and the apex, dark indigo-blue ; body- 

 beneath, rostrum, and legs ochraceous ; margin of head beneath, 

 lateral segmental spots to sternum, apices of rostrum and femora, the 

 tibiae, and marginal segmental spots to abdomen, dark indigo-blue ; 

 central spots between the coxae, and the antennae black, the last with 

 the basal joint — excluding apex — ochraceous. 



Second joint of antennae very short, third and fourth almost 

 subequal, each shorter than the fifth.

Hah. Hainan Island.

 is closely allied to C. bilunulatits, Vollenh., but differs 

 entirely by the colour beneath.
