brown-red, with short felty hairs, head small, thorax broad and short. 
This, too well-known, insect is able, according to the observations of DE 
GrER and Léon Duronr, to live for a long time without food!, and is not 
killed by the severest cold of winter, but revives on the first warmth from 
its torpor. This species would seem, according to Scopout, also to occur 
winged ; but here, in all probability, we have another species before us, 
which ScuILuine described as Cimea domesticus in 1833 (OKEN’s Isis, 1834, 
8. 738, 7397). There are still other species (wingless) on pigeons, bats and 
swallows, which Jenyns has described and figured; Annals of Nat. Hist. 
Ill. 1839, p. 241, Pl. 1.

Note. 
Here seems to belong the genus Phlea Late, 
Lingis Fase. Antenne capitate, 
1 Léon Durour found three bugs, which were enclosed in a glass, to continue alive 
without food for a whole year. 
? A species of Xylocoris Dvrour, according to BURMEISTER.
