5. Bolsea nov. subg. (of Leptocoris) for L. vittata. The iso- 



lation of a sing'le species of this genns in America is 

 very remarkable; the new subgenus differs from all 

 the others by the striking coloration, the upper surface 

 being piceous, the margins and keels of the pronotum, 

 the tegminal venation, etc., sanguineous. Closely al- 

 lied to the subg. Tynofoma. it differs by the slight mar- 

 gination of the pronotum, etc.

In the last nund)er of these "Proceedings" (pp. 49-69), I 

 gave a fairly complete account of all that was known of the Biol- 

 ogy of the N'abidse. T had, however, overlooked three references, 

 which, as a matter of convenience, T now add : 



In 1855 (^'Ueber die Micropyle und den feinern Bau der 

 Schalenhaut bei den Insekteneiern," in Muller's Archiv. 149), 

 Leuckart described and figured (PI. 8. f. 19), the micropylar 

 end of the egg of "Nahis hvachypterus," a species which he did 

 not describe, and which has not been dealt with since. 



In 1907 ("Predaceous Insects and Their Prey," in T. E. S. 

 London, for 1906, 405), Poulton recorded a nymph of Reduvio- 

 lus myrmicoides (under the name of Nabu lativentris) , preying 

 on the Mirid bug Plagiognafhus arlmstornm, and an adult of 

 B. limhatus preying on the Dipteron Opomyza germationis. 



Reduviolus is also recorded, in a paper I have not seen, as one 

 of the enemies of the Tetigoniid Macrosteles scxnotatus (other- 

 wise known as Jassus and Ciradula), which is a pest on cereals, 

 grasses, etc. (cf. Jungner, 1906, Arb. deutsch. Landwirtschaft- 

 ges. XV, p. ?).

 and Fullaway of Honolulu, and to Mr. F. X. Williams of San 

 Erancisco. I propose to give a full lubliography at the end ; at
