Since the publication of "the British Hemiptera," we have seen 



examples of a Nabis captured by Mr. B. Cooke, Dr. Power, and the 



Rev. T. A. Marshall, which have convinced us that they should be 



referred to I^. Jlavomarginatus, Scholz, and that the species we have 



described under that name is N. pilosulus, Forst, The name and 



synonymy at page 554 should therefore stand thus : — 



Species 5. — Nabts pilostjlus.
