THYREOCORIS. 11 
Stal recorded this species doubtfully as from Mexico; he writes—“ Exemplum femi- 
neum a Signoret missum ab exemplo typico masculino vix differt nisi statura majore, 
punctura fortiore, in thorace paullo minus densa.” Specimens from British Honduras, 
one of which is figured, agree so well with Stal’s description, that I have not hesitated 
to identify them as 7. rastratus, the type of which was from Rio Janeiro.

According to Prof. Uhler, Maryland specimens sometimes occur which are destitute 
of the lateral pale margin, and near Baltimore may be found all the varieties between 
the extremes of colour and punctuation. A specimen from Oaxaca in the Berlin 
Museum without the pale margin seems clearly referable to this species, agreeing 
with the variety described by Prof. Uhler.

Prof. Uhler states that this species is distributed over the whole length of Atlantic 
North America from Quebec to Florida, and westward to Louisiana and Texas. I 
include this species in the fauna from the examination of one specimen forwarded 
from the Berlin Museum, which I can only identify as the above. 
6. Thyreocoris championi, n.sp. (Tab. II. fig. 25.) 
Greenish black, shining. Corium, as seen at marginal borders, luteous. Head thickly and coarsely punctured,

castaneous. Rostrum reaching posterior coxe, pitchy brown.
