Pamerocoris Uhler. 



General form of Anthocoris Auctor. Head horizontal, much longer 

 than broad, subcorneal, constricted at base, cranium horizontal, 

 slightly convex, higher than the eyes; face long, triangularly nar- 

 rowing, declining to the tip, clypeus transversely impressed before 

 the eyes ; eyes large, prominent, laterally suborbicular, vertical, 

 almost embracing the gula ; tylus slender, cylindrical, sharply sepa- 

 rated from the clypeus, forming the extreme tip of the head, the sides 

 contracted ; superior cheek-like lobe higher than long, slightly con- 

 vex, obliquely truncated in front, rounded above, inferior lobe sunken, 

 subtriangular, subtruncate at tip ; antennae stout, cylindrical, inserted 

 in an emargination below the middle of the forepart of the eye, 

 longer than the whole body, basal joint extending about one-half its 

 length beyond the tip of the tylus, stouter at apex than at base, sec- 

 ond joint very long, cylindrical, densely pubescent, rather more than 

 three times the length of the basal, third and fourth much more slen- 

 der, densely pubescent, each somewhat longer than the basal one ; 

 rostrum very long and slender, gradually narrowing to the tip, reach- 

 ing beyond the middle of the venter, basal joint stout, compressed, 

 a little longer than the head, second reaching to the back of the an- 

 terior coxae, apical joint about as long as the basal one, but very 

 slender, and acute. Pronotum subcampanuliform, the anterior mar- 

 gin with a slender, raised collar, the anterior lobe convexly elevated, 

 the sides rounded, posterior lobe much broader, flattened, the lateral 

 edge acute, carinate, the humeral angles produced; posterior margin 

 broadly sinuated ; the anterior lobe separated from the posterior one 

 by a slightly impressed, waved line. Scutellum longer than wide, 

 acute at tip, the base transversely elevated, behind this deeply exca- 

 vated each side, the lateral edge slenderly carinated, almost to the 

 tip. Prosternum depressed, at- tip acute, the lateral margins much 

 elevated. Coxae long, stout, compressed, the anterior ones much 

 longer and stouter than the others ; legs long, femora compressed, 

 slenderly channelled on the outer and inner faces, the anterior pair 

 stouter and broader than the others, the posterior pair longest ; tibiae 

 very slender; tarsi very long, the basal joint longest, middle one
