LIST OF THE 



C Y LAPINA E (HEM., MUUDAE) 



WITH DKSCHII^TIONS OF NEW PHILIPPINE F0RM8. 



By E. Kergrolh 



In his new System of the Miridae Reuter (i) founded a new sub- 

 faiiiily, Bothynotinae, for the palearctic genus liothynotus Fieb. 

 and the south asiatic genus Dasymenia Popp., regarding each of 

 thèse gênera as the type of a distinct division of that subfamily. 

 In the same work Reuter placed the genus Bothriomiris Kirk, in 

 his subfamily Ambraciinae. In the same year I (2) hâve shown 

 that Bothriomiris has nothing to do with the Ambraciinae, but 

 belongs to the Gylapinae. Consenting in this, Reuter (3) two years 

 later declared the true systeraatic position of Bothriomiris lo be in 

 the Gylapinae. This subfamily was divided by Reuter in his first 

 cited work into three divisions : Fulvidiaria, Ftdviaria, and Cyla- 

 paria. In a paper pubhshed almost simultaneously Poppius (4) 

 united the Fulvidiaria with the Fulviaria, but maintained the Ful- 

 viaria as distinct from the Cylaparia, reluctantly however, pointing 

 to Ihe fact that the two divisions pass into each other by a séries of 

 gênera forming in the structure of the head and antennae graduai 

 and obvions transitional links. Van Duzee (5) maintained the Ful- 

 viaria and Cylaparia as distinct tribes, but he (6) based them on 

 characters adapted only to the few north american gênera. Finally 

 Poppius (7) has shown that the membrane in the genus Bothrio- 

 miris is densely but very shortly pubescent and that this genus 

 belongs to the Bothynotinae, but that the latter group withal has 

 ail essential characters (structure of antennae, pronotum, tibiae, and 

 tarsi) in common with the Gylapinae. He therefore regarded the 

 Bolhynotaria and Dasymeniaria as divisions of the subfamily Gyla- 

 pinae. With thèse conclusions I entirely agrée, and wish only to 

 add that the division Fulviaria in my opinion should be definitely 

 united with the Gylaparia, and that I regard the highiy abnormal 

 Hemiophthalmocoris Popp., about the systematic position of which 

 Poppius was not sure, as an aberrant genus of the Gylaparia.
