ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF BRITISH HEMIPTE RA-HETEROPTERA 



SINCE 189-\ 

 BY EDWARD ISAUNDERS, F.R.S., &c. 



I propose here to collect together the various species of the 

 above suborder which have been recorded as occurring in this lountry 

 since the appearance of " The Hemiplera-Heferoptera of the British 

 Islands," anil also lo indicate the various changes in s\'nonvhiy which 

 are necessary to bring our nomenclature more or less in line with 

 that of the continental authorities. fn the Cnpsidcs I have not 

 adopted ;ill the very closiily allied genera which fiii;ure in the (\)nti- 

 nental lists ; for although thes(> in a very extensive fauna such as 

 that of the Pnlsearctic region, whore the number of species in each 

 genus would otherwise be inconveniently large, are useful and almost 

 necessary, in a limited fauna like ours the more comprehensive genera 

 are less puzzling. I have accordingly in many cases treated these as 

 subgenera, otherwise I have adhered as much as [lossible to the 

 nomenclature given in Dr. Futon's ''Catalogue des Hemipteres de la 

 faune palearctique," IS99. 



SOUTELLERINA. 



Corimeltena, White = Thyreocoris, Schr. 

 Eurijciaster nigra, F. = E. nigrocucuUata, Goeze. 



Ctdnina. 



Oiidnusflaincornis, Fab. (Eut. Mo. Mag, xx.\v, p. 155, ^tlnis). 



A single specimen of this very interesting addition to our list 

 was fountl in the Isle of Wight at Freshwater by Mr. W. Holland, 

 of 0.\ford, in July, 1S95, and there is no record of its subsequent 

 occurrence. 



As a genus, Cqdnus may b(> known at once from any of its British allies by the 

 spinose marfjina of the head. C.fiavicornis is about tlie size of a Oeotomus punc- 

 tu/atii.i, but much more convex, and the long hairs which fringe the edges of the 

 pronotum and elytra distingui.sli it easily. 



Fentatomina. 

 Sciocoris cursitnns, Kab. = S. tcrreAis, Schrank. 

 Pentntoma Jiiscispina, Boh. = Cnrpocoris purpuripennis, de Gr. 

 ,, hnccarum, \j. = DohfcoriH baccarnm, de G. 



„ janiperina, L. = Gkhroc/iroa Juniperina, L. 



„ prasina, L. = Palomena prasina, L. 



Trop icon's riifipes, L. = Pentatoma rujipes, L. 

 S/rac/ria, Ifalin. = Eurydema, Lap. 



„ festivu, auct., nee. L. = dominidus, Scop.
