124 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



longer scutellum, differently formed corium and membrane. 

 Type, Phl(ea loiigirostris, Spin. 



In the ' Fauna of India — Hem. I.' Mr. Distant cites lineolatus 

 as the type of Podisus, and in this he has unfortunately been 

 followed by Schouteden (Gen. Ins.). 



Podisus was founded by Herrich-Schaffer in the ' Wanzen- 

 artigen Insecten,' ix. 296, without mention of species. On p. 338 

 he describes five species, viz. punctijjennis, strigipes, viUipmnis, 

 pallipes, and albiseptus. The first general treatment was appa- 

 rently that of Stal in 1870. In that punctipennis is placed uuder 

 Apateticas ; vittipennis under Podisus ; pallipes as uncertain ; 

 albiseptus under Tynacantha ; strigipes under Mineus. I think, 

 therefore, that the type of Podisus is vittipennis {■=hifidus).

There are several points of nomenclatilre on which I have 

 not answered criticisms as yet. These will be dealt with in 

 detail in the Introduction to the first volume of the * Catalogue
