NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF REDUVIIDZE 
subaeque longis et crassis, illis leviter curvatis, concavi- 
tatem sursum vergentibus, his ante apicem nodosis, apicem 
abdominis non attingentibus, tibiis femoribus multo longi- 
oribus, anticis fortiter, posterioribus leviter curvatis, his 
fusiformiter incrassatis, e medio crassiore apicem et basin 
versus angustatis, tarsis graciliusculis, unguiculis dentatis. 
This curious genus is not nearly allied to any described 
form. I place it near Graptoclopius, Stal, though it differs 
from that genus by many characters. It has the facies of 
a small Apiomerus , and the legs are, as in the Apiomerince, 
clothed with long hairs secreting a viscid fluid. I possess 
another undescribed neotropical genus of Zelince showing 
the same peculiarity of having the legs clothed with sticky 
hairs.*

* It is generally understood that the sticky fluid, with which the hairs of 
the legs and venter of the Apiomerince (at least the females) are covered, is 
exuded by the insects themselves, and Champion, who has collected vastly 
in Central America, states this as a fact (Biol. Centr. Amer., Hem. Het., ii. 
p. 2B1). Annandale, however (‘Fasciculi Malayenses, Zool.,’ i. p. 263), has 
made the following observation on one of the Malaccan Apiomerince : “Feeds 
on the sticky exudation of certain jungle trees, and is usually covered with 
this substance.” As the Eeduviidce as a rule prey upon other insects, the 
former theory seems more probable, although it must be borne in mind that, 
according to R. M. Dixon’s observations, vegetarians are more common 
among the Eeduviidce than is generally supposed.
