SEPOMTIA. EUSARCOCORIS. 131 



Heteropt. i, p. 371 (1909)), that S. porrectus, Dist., Jiiid /S. macrinus, 

 Dist., were the sexes of one species. As both these species were 

 figured (Traus. Eut. Soc. Lend. 1887, pi. xii, (igs. 7 & 9), where 

 they can both be seen to be female specimens, the suggestion 

 always appeared to me to be bizarre, but until I received the male 

 of S. porrectus, the refutation could well be deferred.
