Genus BLISSUS. (Vol. II, p. 28.) 



3777. Blissus latus, sp. n. 



Immature form. Allied to -B. r/ift/nf^, Fabr., of which the imma- 

 ture form is figured (vol. ii, p. 2S, %. 20), bub a shorter and 

 moi^e robust species ; the pronotum sliohtly shorter and con- 

 siderably more convex ; the corium and membrane much more 

 rudimentary, shorter, and less posteriorly elongated ; antennae 

 paler and more ochraceous in hue. 



Length (immature form) 3— i millini. 



Hab. tSouth India; Chikkaballapara (jf'. V. Cainphell). 



We have described the immature form (which we have alone 

 seen) because in that condition its ally B. gibbus, Tabr., is a most 

 destructive pest to sugar-canes at Cawnpore. B. latus -will pro- 

 bably be found an equally important pest in South India. 



Genus GEOCORIS. (Vol. II, p. 29 & Vol V, p. 23.)

Geocoeis supehbus. (Vol. \, p. 23.) 



I was previously able [siqrra) to figure the type of this species, 

 and have now before me five specimens from South India. These 

 vary in having the trijinguhir dark spot at the base of the pro- 

 notum more or less reduced in size, in some specimens being 

 practically absent.
