CORIZUS. 171 
Dr. Signoret’s description, “Elytres transparentes, l’extréme sommet de la corie 
rougeatre,” a character not mentioned by Mr. Say, who, however, describes the scutellum 
“with a longitudinal impunctured whitish line,” which this same specimen exhibits, 
though not referred to in the description of Dr. Signoret. In the specimens figured 
the connexivum is spotted with black, as described by the last-mentioned author. 
From these considerations I have felt bound to include these forms under Say’s name ; 
the figures given, however, are calculated, I hope, to prevent any misunderstanding.

Stal! gives also as a habitat “Insula Taiti;”’ but as he does not reproduce the name 
of this locality in his ‘ Knumeratio Hemipterorum’®, it possibly was originally given by 
mistake. This is an extremely variable species, in size, colour, and markings, as 
remarked by Stal®, and abundantly testified in the Central-American specimens now 
before me. According to Berg it is abundant in all parts of the Argentine Republic. 
The figure 24 is taken from a large and bright-coloured Guatemalan specimen; from 
the same locality, however, have been received smaller, darker, and much more 
obscurely-coloured examples. Fig. 25 (C. luteolus) represents the variety described by 
Dr. Signoret as C. mexicanus, which was obtained in Guatemala by Mr. Champion, and 
which I have followed Stal in regarding as but a varietal form. 
5. Corizus ventralis. (Tab. XV. fig. 23.) 
Corizus ventralis, Sign. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. sér. 3, vii. p. 92. 27°. 
Corizus (Niesthrea) ventralis, Stal, En. Hem. i. p. 2238. 6. 
Hab. Mexico! (coll. Sign., Mus. Holm.), Orizaba (Bilimek, Mus. Vind. Ces.); 
GuATEMALA, San Geronimo (Champion). 
A Guatemalan specimen is figured. The species appears to be very closely allied to 
the preceding, judging from forms received from Guatemala.
