466 APPEXDIX. COKEID.E. 



Closely allied in structure and markini^s to S. ?i.eteros2nla,W alk. 

 (vol. i, p. 318), but with the lateral pronotal spines much more 

 slender and acute ; abdominal spine also much more acute and 

 with its apex more removed from the sternal surface. 



Length 1 1 ; breadth between pronotal angles 8 railliDi. 



Uab. Ceylon; K.andy (Green). 



Family COREIDiE. (Vol. I, p. 331.) 



In this family the principal taxonomic alteration requisite is the 

 transference of the species described as Curupira bicolor (vol. i, 

 p. 412) to the following family Lygseidse. The reason for this 

 substitution will be subsequently detailed under that family, and 

 some allied species enumerated. 



In the division Ah/daria it was remarked (vol. i, p. 412), that 

 its representatives in British India were very poorly represented. 

 It has now been found possible to considerably augment the 

 enumeration, both in genera and species. 



Genus HOMCEOCERUS. (Vol. I, p. 3o5.) 



2744. Homceocerus relatus, sp. u. 



Pale greenish-ochraceous, thickly darkly punctate ; connexivum, 

 body beneath and legs pale greenish-ochraceous, the legs (excluding 

 bases of femora) more distinctly virescent ; head behind and 

 between the ocelli almost impunctate ; antennae browTiish-ochra- 

 ceous or virescent, fourth joint black with nearly its basal half pale 

 virescent, first and second joints almost subequal in length, third and 

 fourth joints also subequal or third very slightly longer than fourth ; 

 rostrum with the third and fourth joints almost subequal in length, 

 or third very slightly shorter than fourth ; pronotum with the 

 lateral margins nearly obliquely straight, broader at base than long, 

 the lateral angles subangulately prominent, a faint central longi- 

 tudinal line, moderately depi'essed near anterior margin ; scutellum 

 with a fine (sometimes very obscure) central longitudinal line ; 

 lateral margins of the corium narrowly palely impunctate and 

 usually pale ochraceous at base, and virescent from about middle ; 

 membrane bronzy, piceous or black at basal angular area. 



Length 17 to 18 ; breadth between pronotal angles 5 millim. 



Hah. Ceylon ; Ilaragam (Green). 



Allied to H. striicornis, Scott (vol. i, p. 3G0), but diiJering in having 

 the third and fourth joints of the antennae subequal in length and 

 the third and fourth joints of the rostrum also subequal.
