margin pale, impunctate ; scutellum somewhat castaneous, darkly

 margins and coxae, ochraceous, posterior margin of metasternum 

 luteous ; abdomen pale castaneous, posterior segmental margins 

 luteous. 



Anterior femora with three spines beneath near apex, the central

 longer than the third. 



Long. 10 to 12 millim. 



Hab. West Indies. 



For over twenty years I have possessed a series of this 

 distinct species for which I had no more precise habitat 

 than the above. Uhler records no species of the genus 

 from Smith's Antillian collection. The only Cuban species 

 described is abundantly distinct. I have decided now to 

 describe the species under the somewhat loose habitat of 

 " West Indies." 



Largus geniculatus, sp. n. 



Head, antennas, pronotum, scutellum, body beneath, rostrum, and 

 legs, piceous ; extreme base and root of first joint of antennae, 

 anterior and posterior margins and sublateral anterior spots to pro- 

 notum, bucculae, coxae, bases and apices of femora, bases of tibiae, and 

 lateral sternal margins, sanguineous ; apex of scutellum and the corium 

 reddish-ochraceous, thickly, coarsely, and blackly punctate, the lateral 

 margins to corium impunctate ; membrane very pale ochraceous, not 

 reaching apex of abdomen. First joint of antennae longer than 

 second or third joints but shorter than fourth joint ; pronotum and 

 scutellum sparingly, coarsely, punctate ; body beneath finely pilose ; 

 body elongate, broadest at about centre of corium. 



Long. 12 millim. Max. lat. 4^ millim. 



Hab. Colombia, Cauca (Dr. Thieme). 



Stidaulax Jlarnmeolus, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum black ; eyes, anterior, lateral, and 

 posterior margins of pronotum, luteous ; corium and the apex of 

 the scutellum cinnamoneus ; membrane brownish-ochraceous ; body 

 beneath luteous ; head beneath, large transverse spots near coxae, 

 discal segmental fasciae to abdomen, rostrum, and legs black ; antennae
