forming a very distinct club j scutellum sharply striated on the sides, the cup 
flat, with a groove behind j the point of the scutellum rostrate behind and 
beneath the cup, and especially conspicuous from the sides ; sides of meta- 
sternum bare and smooth ; second segment of abdomen crowned with tomen- 
tosity at the base ; wings rounded out at the apex, with a strong fringe of 
hairs j radial cell open at the fore margin, both sections of the radius not 
arched. Sp. R. nigra (Hart.). 
Tetrarhoptra (p. 349). Cheeks divided from face by a narrow furrow, the 
facial grooves varying in depth ; antennae 13-jointed, with 4-jointed club, the 
first joint longer than second j scutellum thickly and finely striated, rounded 
at the apex, with a small cup j sides of metasternum wholly bare, or only 
tomentose immediately over the coxae j the second segment of abdomen 
crowned with tomentose hairs at the base ; wings more or less rounded out 
or incised at the apex, pubescent, with a fringe of hairs ; radial cell open, the 
first and second sections of the radius straight. Spp. T. heterotoma and 
Utratoma (Thoms.), but not tetratoma (Hart.). 
Pentacrita (ibid.). Malar furrow and facial grooves slight ; antennae as in 
Tetrarhoptra^ but with 6-jointed clubj scutellum sharply and finely striate, 
rounded at the point, the cup small, elongate j rest much as in Tetrarhoptra. 
Spp. : P. retusa (Hart.), tomentosa and cordata {Q(iv.\ pentatoma andi albipennis 
(Thoms.), but not pentatomaj Hartig, which is a Cothonaspis, 
Hexacola (ibid.). Malar furrow fine, facial grooves broad and shallow j 
club of antennae 6-jointed j scutellar cup not large, elliptic, with a groove at 
the hinder mai’gin j apex of wings more or less rounded out j rest as in the 
preceding genus. Sp. H. picicrus (Gir.). 
Heptameris (p. 350). Vertex finely transversely striate j malar ridge fine, 
facial impressions deep ; antennae with 7-jointed club, the first joint of which 
is not so thick as the second j sides of the prosternum sharply striated above, 
with tomentose spots before the striae j scutellum striate, with a very small 
blunt denticle on the lateral margin, elongate cup, a round groove behind, 
and two punctures in front \ rest as in preceding genus. Sp. IL pggmcea 
(Dahlb.). 
Nedinoptera (ibid.). Club of antennae 7-jointed, with its first joint scarcely 
thinner than the second j first joint of funiculus twice as long as second ; scu- 
tellum thickly striated at the sides j sides of metasternum without tomen- 
tosity, the second segment of abdomen crowned with hairs at the base j 
wings abbreviated. Sp. N. halophila (Thoms.). 
Apistophyza (p. 361). Malar furrow finej face with a shallow, long im- 
pression on each side over the oral margin j antennae 13-jointed, first joint 
of funiculus distinctly longer than second, the three last somewhat thickened 
but not forming a distinct club, all joints of funiculus much longer than 
broad j scutellar cup small, much elevated ; sides of metasternum and base 
of second segment of abdomen thickly tomentose ; wings narrowly acumi- 
nate, reaching almost to apex of abdomen j radial cell open at the fore 
margin, the first section of the radius shorter than the second, which is 
thickened. Sp. A. microptera (Hart.). 
Aphyoptera (ibid.). Malar ridge fine, slightly striate beneath, facial im- 
pressions as in preceding; antennae in S 16-jointed, with the first joint of 
funiculus somewhat longer than the second, and distinctly emarginate, the 
following joint cylindrical, not quite twice as long as broad ; scutellar cup
