PREFACE. 


THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete List of 
all the genera and species of Heteropterous Hemiptera known to 
exist in the collections of European and American Entomologists. 
« The letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now 
contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the 
mode in which each of them was obtained; and the absence of 
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and there- 


fore desirable to be procured for the collection.

rugulose, not longer than broad, the fore part much contracted. Scutellum 
with a slight keel, attenuated towards the tip, which is rounded. Legs 
rather stout; fore femora with a spine beneath near the tips; fore tibiz

The elongate hardly convex body, the shape of the head and the 
unarmed thorax distinguish this genus from Cazira.

narrower in front; lobes of equal length. Rostrum with a black tip. An- 
tenn tawny, more than half the length of the body; first joint hardly ex- 
tending beyond the front of the head; second, third and fourth of nearly 
equal length; fourth black, tawny towards the tip ; fifth black, longer than 
the fourth. Thorax with an irregular abbreviated black band near the 
fore border; a pale testaceous line along each side, not extending to the 
rather prominent hind angle ; fore border less than half the breadth of the 
hind border. Scutellum with four pale yellow dots on the fore border, 
bordered with pale yellow at its tip, extending somewhat beyond the 
widdle of the abdomen. Pectus with an irregular blackish stripe on

scutellum.

middle one. Eyes prominent. Rostrum tawny, extending to the hind 
coxe. Antenne minutely pubescent, more than half the length of the body ; 
second joint as long as the first, about one-third of the length of the third ;

It seems to connect Ochlerus with Macropygium, and may be distin-

head, which are of equal length in O. tartareus.

a whitish yellow marginal line on each side between the fore angle and the 
hind angle, which is acute and prominent. Scutellum extending a little 
beyond the hind angle of the corium, with whitish yellow marks ; these 
consist of three basal spots, two lateral streaks, an apical spot, and some

very incomplete, and the second and third contain black points. Femora 
and middle tibie striped with pale yellow; hind tibiz with a pale yellow

by the more prominent thoracic spines and by the marginal spots of the 
abdomen.
