SYNONYMICAL NOTES. 



Resthenia majuscula Dist., Bull. Soc. Fnt Belg. 1888, p. LXXXI 

 is identical with Càllichila grandis Blanch. in d'Orbigny, Voy. 

 Amer, mérid., VI, 220, tal». XXX, fig. 7 (1843). 



Restheiiia simplex Kuhlg., Berl. ent. Z., 1902, p. 263, tab. IV, fig. 

 5, from Colombia (with punctured pronotum, punctured scutellum, 

 short and broad cuneus and short membranal cell!) bas certainly 

 nothing to do with the Division Restheniaria. Its systematic posi- 

 tion cannot be determined from the inadéquate description. 



As Capsus bimaculatus Fabr. belongs to Paracalocoris, not to 

 Calocoris, the palearctic Calocoris Schmidti Fieb. must retain its 

 first name C. bimaculatus H. Sch. 



Lygus aeruginosus Reut. from Jamaica 1 propose to call L. aeru- 

 ginatus, the first name being preoccupied by Berg for a species 

 from Argentina. 



For Lygus obtusus Uhl. I propose the name L. Antillarum. 

 Reuter having described a L. obtusus from Bengal. 



In his paper of 1875 on Northamerican Miridae Reuter described 

 a new genus Trichia which lie said is « valde affinis » to Allodapus 

 Fieb. (Eroticoris Scott). Some pages further on and separated from 

 Trichia by several otber gênera he described the genus Cerato- 

 capsus. Many new species of Ceratocapsus having been detected 

 since the genus was described, Reuter has found that there are 

 intermediate links between itand Trichia, and in a paper on Mexican 

 Miridae he has recently united them under the name Ceratocapsus, 

 Trichia being preoccupied. The species described in 1875 as Trichia 

 pwiptulata Reut. now bears the narne Ceratocapsus punctulatus and 

 for Ceratocapsus punctulatus R.eut. (1875) I propose the name 

 C. cubanus.
