In colour approaching T. cyrtoj^s, Fairm., in structure apparently 

 (from description) T. mexicana, Stal. 



Htphinoe cornuta. 



Olivaceous, thickly and coarsely punctured. Tegmina, lateral and upper borders 

 of the humeral horns, and dorsal ridge of the pronotum, castaneous. Tips of the 

 humeral horns, extreme apex of pronotum, and a rounded spot situated at about 

 the centre of the lateral borders of the pronotum, black. Legs dull ochraceous, 

 tibise sulcated and strongly pilose. 



The humeral horns are very robust, sub-acute, and directed upwards ; the disc 

 between them is broadly hollowed, rounded and deflexed anteriorly, where there is a 

 central, longitudinal, impunctate, slightly raised line. 



Length, pronot., 14 mill. ; exp., hum. horns., 7 mill. ; length, tegm., 12 mill. 



Irazu, 6-7000 ft. (Rogers). 



The humeral horns will at once distinguish this sj)ecies from any 

 other of the genus as yet described.

EEMAEKS ON SOME BEITISH SEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 



BY DB. O. M. EEUTER. 



{^Continued from vol. xv, 2}affe 67). 



Hadrodema pinastri, Fall. This species occurred in July and 

 August, 1876, very abundantly on firs near Forres, but it is to be 

 remarked that all the specimens I saw were of the ochreous variety ; 

 in South Finland, on the contrary, where the species is rather common, 

 I have only once taken an ochreous example, all others being black. 

 The ochreous specimens resemble in colour the scales on the young 

 shoots of the firs. Perhaps there exists in the North of Scotland some 

 enemy to H. pinasfri, which does not occur in South Finland ; and in 

 consequence of this only the individuals favoured by protective re- 

 semblance remain and propagate (?). 



Lopus suPERCiLiosus (Cat., p. 48, 2). According to most authors, 

 we must regard this species as only a variety of Lopus gothicus, L. ; 

 to the same belongs also as a synonym, Lopus ajffinis, Jakovl., from 

 Derbent, which does not at all differ from L. gothicus, var. sujyerciUosus. 

 I possess quite similar specimens from Sweden and Derbent. 



Stiphrosoma letjcocephala. Fall. Dr. Puton had the kindness 

 to communicate to me some specimens of a Stiphrosoma from the col- 

 lection of Fieber, labelled "Anglia,au n. sp. ?" These specimens, smaller 

 than leucocephala usually occurs, and having the head piceous, belong to
