Dr. Signoret having kindly lent me a type specimen of his C. distinctus, I find it 
identical with C. rufispinus, Dall. Both descriptions were published in 1851. Dr. 
Signoret’s description was communicated to the French Entomological Society at the 
“séance du 8 Janvier,” but was not published until some time afterwards; and therefore, 
though Dallas’s work bears date July 1851, it probably appeared first; and I think 
that, under the circumstances, the name rujispinus should stand, as it is now generally 
recognized and no law is broken by retaining it. 
Stal (En. Hem. ut supra) places this species under a section of the genus which he 
describes as “ antennis minus gracilibus, pictura nigra destitutis.” This, however, is 
incorrect ; in all the species we have examined the colour of the antenne conforms to 
that of the two preceding species. 
The specimen figured is from Guatemala. 
B. Head shorter, subconical ; lateral lobes slightly produced, with the apexes rounded. 
4. Chlorocoris rubescens. (Tab. VI. fig. 20.) 
Chlorocoris rubescens, Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 543°; Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 85. 53?. 
Chlorocoris rufopictus, Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 544°, 
Hab. Mexico??? (Mus. Berol.), Orizaba’. 
The figure is from the type in the British Museum. 
5. Chlorocoris subrugosus. (Tab. VI. fig. 21.) 
Chlorocoris subrugosus, Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 36. 6°. 
Hab. Mexico! (Mus. Berol., Mus. Vind. Ces.); Guavemata, Pancina, Vera Paz 
(Champion). | 
The colour of the antenne in this species varies; concolorous in some specimens, in 
others the apexes of the second, third, fourth, and fifth joints are black, as in other 
species of the genus. ‘This antennal coloration appears to be of generic character, and 
its absence more or less of an aberrance. 
The specimen figured is a typical one from Mexico, and was kindly lent to me by 
the authorities of the Stockholm Museum. :
