entirely green, without traces of yellow spots. They have been taken, 

 I believe, on elm trees at Woking and Chobham, and a single speci- 

 men at Ilfracombe. It is probably a common species, but overlooked.

NOTE ON DULICHIUS WROUGHTONI. 

 BY E. BEEGROTH, M.D. 



In the April number of the current volume of this Magazine, p. 

 107, I described a new Hemipterous insect under this name. Some 

 days before this description was printed, I received Mr. Kirby's recent 

 paper on the Hemiptera of Ceylon, and found the insect described in 

 this paper under the name Formicoris inflatus, new gen. and sp. As 

 I said in m.y notice, the insect belongs to the genus Dulichius of the 

 family Coreidce, although Mr. Kirby says that " it is undoubtedly one 

 of the Reduviida,''' and places it near Myocoris ! I am quite unable 

 to explain such a curious mistake. Mr. Kirby's description has pri- 

 ority, and the insect must take the name Dulichius inflatus, Kirby. 



When describing the species I had only seen some hairless ex- 

 amples. Having recently received a specimen in very good condition, 

 I find that the following must be added to the description : — Corpus 

 totum cum spinis, antennis pedibusque longe parce erecte pilosum.
