139 



brown area of the inner angle ; clavus and cerium covered with very short 

 pale hairs which arise from the punctm"es ; membrane hyaline, uniformJy 

 infumate. Legs yellow, bases of femora more or less infuscate. A^enter shining 

 ferruginous brown covered with a regular fine pubescence, the lateral tricho- 

 bothria giving rise to four very long upwardly curved pale hairs on each side 

 and visible from above. 



Structure. — Head about two-thirds as long as wide across eyes (23 : 32) ; 

 vertex more than three times as wide as the width of an eye (20 : 6), except at 

 base, finely rugosely wrinkled ; first segment of antenna extending about half 

 its length beyond the apex of head ; relative lengths of segments 20 : 25 : 20 : 24 ; 

 rostrum extending to intermediate coxae, the first segment reaching the level 

 of posterior margin of eye. Pronotum about twice as wide across humeral 

 angles as long in the middle (62 : 32) and more than three-fourths as wide 

 anteriorly as long in the middle (26 : 32) ; anterior margin broadly emarginate, 

 lateral margins moderately sinuate, posterior margin strongly emarginate 

 above base of scutellum ; anterior lobe impunctate except along middle of 

 anterior margin, posterior lobe regularly but finely punctate. Scutellum as 

 long as wide at base and nearly three times as long as claval commissure (33 : 12) ; 

 sparsely punctate. Clavus with three distinct rows of punctures ; corium with 

 a row along claval suture, another along Cui and the whole of the area between 

 R + M and the costal margin, regularly punctate ; area between R + M and Cui 

 semi-hyaline ; apical margin sinuate towards inner angle. Legs unarmed. 



Total length, $ 2-3 mm. Breadth across humeral angles, $ 1 mm.

Readily distinguished from all other species by uniformly red-brown pro- 

 notum and scutellum. 



Cligenes swezeyl major, subsp. n. 



Colour. — Similar to C. sivezeyi but much more sombre the browns less reddish 

 and the hemielytral markings much less contrasted and more obscure, the brown 

 oblique costal stripe practically obsolete ; rostrum ferruginous, legs brownish- 

 yellow. 



Structure. — Larger, broader and more robust than C. sivezeyi with the head 

 and pronotum less deflexed. Head about four-fifths as long as broad across
