and cannot be any of the species described in the work. Signoret 
suggested that it might be Geotomus pygmaeus D all, but it is cer- 
tainly not this species. It will probably prove to belong to one of the 
genera allied to Chilocoris Mayr. 
Corizus semicruciatus. — From Nura-Ellia. Redescribed from 
Ceylon by Distant, but almost no structural characters given either 
by Motschulsky or Distant. Probably a variety of some pre- 
viously known species of Rhopalus Schill. 
Corizus brevicollis. — From Nura-Ellia. Said to be allied to 
the preceding species. 
Heterogaster ceylanicus. — From three localities. А well known 
species of Nysius D all. 
Plociomerus punctulatus. — From Colombo and said by Mot- 
schulsky to occur also in Egypt „sous les chardons désséchés*. 
Redescribed from Burma and referred to Ратега by Distant. 
Leptomerocoris alboviridescens. — From Mt. Patannas. This 
species has not hitherto been recongnized, but,I think, there can be 
no doubt that Motschulsky under this name has described Pro- 
dromus subflavus Dist. He says that the head is triangular, having 
described it as seen from the front. The colour is said to be ,albido- 
subviridescens*, but it is probable that fresh examples of this species . 
like so many others of the small whitish Miridae have a faint greenish 
tint. No other known Ceylonese Mirid agrees with the description. The 
species is not recognizable from Distant’s translation of the des- - 
cription, as he has rendered thorace subconvexo by ,pronotum sub- 
concave*, crebre punctato by ,irregularly punctate*, and vix rotundatis 
by ,distinctly (!) rounded*. 
Leptomerocoris ? pistacinus. — From Mt. Patannas. On this 
species Distant founded the genus Pharyllus, but the insect des- 
cribed by him is much larger than that of Motschulsky and differs 
from it in so many points, that it is probably distinct even as to the 
genus. Until a species better agreeing with Motschulsky's des- 
cription has been found in Ceylon, there is however no reason to 
change the name. 
Leptomerocoris ? albofasciatus.— From Mt. Patannas. On this 
species Distant founded the genus Tyraquellus. 
Liocoris (n. g.) glabratus. — From Nura-Ellia and Patannas. 
The generic name being preoccupied by Fieber, Distant substituted 
Felisacus for it and redescribed the insect. 
Liocoris puncticollis. — From Cuba, where it ,habite les plan- 
tations de tabac à la Havane*. It will probably prove to belong to 
Neofurius Dist. or some allied genus. Although the description is
