THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. OH 



immature 9 ] I f^el sure that Walker's on'tiinal description was al^o from 

 an immature specunen. The following seems to be the C( louring of 

 mature ones : 



(^ , 5. — Above pitchy, with a bronzy gleam; a pale narrow line 

 submarginally along the anterolateral margins of the pronotum. Tegmina 

 ]iiceous, the irregular cross veins on the corium ob><cuiely pale castaneous. 

 Wings pale fuliginous. Tergites metallic greemsh-violet, dorsopleurites 

 indigo-blue, with a pale wedge across the middle of each segment (larger 

 and clearer in the male than in the female). Beneath (with the legs, etc.), 

 a sort of rather indefinite reddish-piceous, the sterna and abdominal spine 

 mostly yellower. Antennpe pitchy black, apex of the last segment 

 yellowish-brown. I have this from Papua, Fak-fak. 



Fam. Coreidpe. 

 In my recent papers I have rightly substituted the family name 

 " Myodochidse " for the old '■ Lygeeidae," but at the same time I 

 unfortunately tiansferred the latter to, and substituted it for, the 

 " Coreidiie." Coreus, however, is anterior by a few pages to Lygcetis, so 

 that the name " Coreidte" should be retained. Although several of my 

 colleagues objected (on other grounds) to the change, no one pointed out 

 where the real fault lay. I am very glad to be able, on the grounds of 

 priority, to retain the well-known " Coreidte," as the transference of the 

 equally well-known name Lygseidfe was a great nuisance, although 

 aj)parently necessitated. Now that name should pass away into the 

 realms of synonymy.

 Aphrophorias, nom. nov., =^|| Lora, Distant, 1908. 



Fam. Tetigoniidae. 



Mysolis, Kirkaldy, 1904, =|| Norsia, Walker, 1869, == Norsiana, 

 Distant,, 1908. Mr. Distant has created an unnecessary new name. 



Iassus sinhalanus, nom. nov., =\\pHic/iella (Kirby). 



I. RAMA, nom. nov., =j| elegants (Distant). 



Tetigonia, Geoffroy, 1762. 



In the " Fauna of India " (Rh. IV., 201, 1907), Mr. Distant regards 

 as untenable my retention of the Geoffroyan name Tetigonia, and my 

 rejection of Jacobi's Tettigoniella. 



The thoroughness with which Mr. Distant has, with the assistance of 

 Mr. Kirby, investigated this synonymy, is evidenced by his adoption of
