82 SOME HEMIPTERA IIETEROPTERA FROM N. W. BORNEO. 
length. First joint of hind tarsi two-thirds longer than the two 
other joints together. Length., $ 18.5 — 19 mm. 
Kuching and Sadong, Sarawak. 
Remarkable by the very short basal plica of the sixth female 
ventral segment and the long metatarsus of the hind legs. It is 
allied to II. lineaticollis Stal, but is much larger with longer second 
rostral joint, less obtuse and more prominent pronotal humeral 
angles, almost lacking (or only anteriorly faintly indicated) smooth 
median line to pronotum, and brown-bordered claval and inner 
corial veins. 
15. Homoeocerus tenuicornis Stal. — Kuching, Sarawak. 
16. Colpura brevipennis n. sp. 
Elongately ovate, black, rather coarsely and moderately thickly 
punctured, sparsely set with narrow yellowish scales arising from 
the punctures which on pleurae and anterior part of venter are 
cinereous, membrane brownish-ochraceous, first two rostral joints, 
anterior orificial tubercle, and trochanters luteous, last two rostral 
joints pale piceous. Head somewhat longer than broad, gense un- 
armed, first antennal joint about one-fourth longer than head, 
second distinctly longer than first, third one-fifth shorter than 
first (fourth wanting), rostrum reaching apical margin of second 
ventral segment. Prothorax about twice as high as the head, 
pronotum moderately declivous, one third broader than long, slight- 
ly transversely impressed before middle, longitudinally rather 
broadly impressed between posterior parts of cicatrical areas, lateral 
margins slightly (sometimes almost imperceptibly) sinuated in the 
middle, lateral ruga distinctly visible also from above, apically 
produced in a short obtuse porrect tooth, humeral angles rounded, 
not prominent. Elytra reaching middle of penultimate dorsal seg- 
ment. Metapleurge foveately impressed at middle of lateral margin, 
their posterior margin straight, posterior angles right-angled. Ab- 
domen considerably broader than pronotum, apical angles of fifth 
segment slightly prominent, venter slightly grooved from its base 
to base of fourth segment. Femora finely granulated, but unarmed. 
Length, 2 12.5 — 13 mm. 
Female: basal plica of sixth ventral segment reaching the 
middle of the segment, very obtuse-angled at apex. 
Mt. Matang, 3200 ft., Sarawak. 
In build and general aspect much resembling the East Asiatic 
<7. lativentris Motsch., as redescribed by Kiritshenko,* but at once 
distinguished by the longer, anteriorly much less declivous head, 
the paler membrane, the unicolorous connexivum, and the yellow 
trochanters. 
* Faune de la Russie, Hem., VI, 2, p. 115, pi. II, fig. 13 (1916).— In 
the description the pronotal lateral margins are said to be “profunde 
sinuati,” but this statement is in contradiction to the apparently correct 
figure in which these margins are represented as very slightly sinuated.
