Chloiiocouis Tau. 
Chlorocoris eufidens, 
Pullide viridis, subliliter punctalus ; caput acutum, lateribus tenuiler 
nigris ; antennarum articuli 2us 3us et 4ms apice nigri ; thorax 
lateribus rujis serratis., spinis longis attenuatis ; connexivum latum, 
fulvo marginatum, transverse striatum nigroque iineolatum ; alee 
anticce costa basi rufa, membrana limpida. 
Pale grass-green, finely punctured, mostly pale testaceous beneath. 
Head blach along each side. Rostrum extending to the fore part of the third 
abdominal segment. Antennae much shorter than the body; first joint 
extending a little beyond the front of the head; second and third with 
black tips ; second much shorter than the third ; fourth black for half the 
length from the tip, longer than the third ; fifth as long as the fourth. 
Thorax bright red and serrated along each side; spines bright red, long, 
slender, hardly ascending. Abdomen with a broad connexivum, which is 
longitudinally and finely striated, and is bordered with tawny and has a 
black transverse line on the hind border of each segment; under side with 
a furrow extending from the base to the fore part of the third segment. 
Fore wings with a short red costal stripe extending from the base ; mem- 
brane and hind wings pellucid. Length of the body 10^ lines. 
The black-bordered head, the rosy sides of the thorax and the some- 
what longer spines distinguish it from C. atrispinus.

ClILOROCOaiS RUBESCENS. 
Viridescente testaceus, subtiliter punctatus ; caput transverse striatum, 
antice rotundatum, lobis lateralibus lobum medium paullo superanti- 
bus ; antennae rosece ; thorax postice subrugulosus, roseo fasciatus, 
spinis longiuscutis peracutis, lateribus roseis subserralis ; scutellum 
roseo suftusum, apice Icete roseum ; alee anticce rosece, apice testacece, 
tuberculato discoidali rufo, membrana pellucida. 
Pale greenish testaceous. Head rounded in front; lateral lobes trans- 
versely and finely striated, extending a little beyond the middle lobe. 
Antennee rosy red ; second joint longer than the third. Thorax minutely 
punctured, with a transverse callus on each side in front ; hind part trans- 
versely and slightly rugulose, with a rosy red baud which includes the very 
acute spines, the latter as long as their breadth at the base; sides rosy red, 
slightly serrated. Scutellum finely punctured, with a slight keel which is 
forked towards the base, tinged with rosy red, much attenuated towards the 
tip, which is bright rosy. Anal appendages of the male very large. Legs 
tinged with rosy. Fore wings with a rosy tinge, which does not extend to 
the lips ; apical part more finely punctured than the other part ; a bright red 
tubercle in the disk ; membrane colourless. Length of the body 8^ lines. 
This species and C. rujispinus differ from C. atrispinus, C. com- 
planatus and C. rufidens in the less acute lateral lobes of the head.
