In the present genus the scutellum is still large, 
hut it covers only a portion of the abdomen. The 
antennae have the first or radical joint shortest ; the 
third joint sometimes longest, (as in Prufipes ,) 
sometimes shortest, (as in P. Baccarum , and P. 
Grisea.') The second and third joints of the rostrum 
are rather longer than the others ; anterior tibiae 
notched before the apex ; tarsi three-jointed, the 
middle joint minute. (PL XVIII. fig. 9.) 
The species of this genus are more widely dis- 
tributed than their near allies the scutellerae. Many 
brilliantly ornamented kinds inhabit the warmer 
regions of Asia, Africa, and America; no small 
number are to be found in the continent of Europe ; 
and about fifteen are included in the lists of our in- 
digenous insects. 
The beautiful species figured on PI. XIX. at fig. 2. 
is a native of Sierra Leone. The thorax is bright 
mazarine blue, with a scarlet streak across the front ; 
scutellum greenish blue, the tip and margins scarlet ; 
hemelytra blue ; abdomen scarlet, with dark blue 
spots at regular intervals along the sides ; underside 
yellow ; legs and rostrum black.
