Bothynotus lives on coniferous trees, but the habits of the Bothrio- 

 miraria are unknown. The Cylaparia difïer in their modus vivendi 

 from ail other Miridae. The species of Cylapus and nearly ail of 

 its allies with a vertical head are of sombre colour and iive on 

 black fungi attached to fallen trees in moist and shady woods, and 

 Heidemann stated that « when disturbed they run with the greatest 

 agility along the bark and take wing rapidly », but the red and- 

 yellow species of Varmius hâve been found on the withered red 

 leaves of Musa. Ttie species of Fulvius and its allies with a more 

 or less horizontal head are more sluggish in their movements and 

 are generally found under moist bark, l)ut hâve also been obtained 

 from dried branches of trees. If thèse remarkable insects in the 

 tropics are specially sought for in their proper resorts, the number 

 of known species will be greatly increased. 



The division Dasymeniaria should bear the name Bothriomiraria 

 afler its oldest genus. 



The name Bashymenia vansi according to linguistic rules be 

 written Dasymenia. When a root like das is united with a word 

 beginning with h followed by a vowel, the h dissappears (1). 



A new generic name had to be proposed in place of Bakeriella, 

 which is preoccupied (Kieffer, Hymenoptera, 1910.) 



The sign || dénotes a preoccupied name, -\- a mistakenly used 

 name. 



(I) Accordiugly the Romans for iustauce never wrote Fhilhipus, butPhilippus.
