NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF REDUVUDjE 
I have founded this genus on a trivial looking insect 
which I am unable to place in any hitherto described genus. 
It differs from Sphodronyttus, Stal, by the structure of the 
head, the long and narrow discal cell to the corium, and by 
the reflected posterior pronotal lateral margins, which do 
not surround the lateral angles; from Sphactes, Stal, it is 
distinguished by the structure of the rostrum. Sphactes 
(with Lissonyct.es , Stal, as subgenus) I regard as generically 
distinct from Sphedanolestes , Stal, as did Stal himself in 
1870. 
Haplolestes rugicollis , n. sp. 
Ochreo-testaceus, capite (gula excepta) et lobo antico 
pronoti (angulis apicalibus exceptis) fusco-ferrugineis, pec- 
tore fusco-nigro (exceptis parte posteriore propleurse, ma¬ 
cula postica mesopleurae acetabulisque omnibus), antennis, 
rostro pedibusque ferrugineo-testaceis. Articulus primus 
antennarum secundo plus duplo longior. Pronotum longi- 
tudine sua paullo latius, angulis apicalibus breviter sub- 
conice oblique prominulis, lobo postico granulato-rugu- 
loso, angulis lateralibus parum eminulis. Long. ? 10'8- 
12 mm. 
Matang. 
Biasticus moultoni, n. sp. 
Nitidus, niger, capite subtus, parte ejus anteantennali 
etiam lateribus et superne (clypeo interdum excepto) basi- 
que capitis, lobo postico pronoti, parte apicali prolongata 
corii ac segmentis ventris secundo, tertio, sexto genitalique 
(hoc non semper) luteis, membrana (parte basali usque ad 
apicem cellulse interioris fusca excepta) vitrea, macula 
magna rotundata opaca alba ad marginem exteriorem 
(intra partem prolongatam corii) ornata, antennis fuscis, 
articulo earum primo, rostro pedibusque ferrugineo-tes¬ 
taceis, parte apicali femorum interdumque etiam parte 
basali tibiarum nigra vel picea. Caput pronoto seque 
longum, articulo primo rostri parte anteoculari capitis non- 
nihil longiore, articulo primo antennarum capiti et lobo 
antico pronoti unitis seque longo, secundo primo triple 
breviore. Pronotum longitudine sua paullulo latius, ad 
marginem apicalem fascia angusta dense breviter ochreo- 
sericea angulos ipsos minute tuberculatos liberosrelinquente 
prseditum, elevatione antica lobi postici fere usque ad basin 
humiliter continuata, angulis posticis vix prominulis. 
Prosternum antice utrinque ochreo-sericeum. Abdomen
