short, the species could probably be identified, if it is redisco-- 
vered. 
Anthocoris parallelus. — From Nura-Ellia and Colombo. Belongs 
to the genus Scoloposcelis Fieb. 
Anthocoris tantillus. — From Colombo. It seems to me that 
Distant (who calls the species ,tantilus“) has correctly identified it 
as the same as Triphleps indica Reut. 
Corixa albifrons. — From Colombo. Kirkaldy has placed 
this species as a synonym of Micronecta striata Fieb., but its small 
size (5/в lin.) and the black-streaked hind tarsi show that it is the same 
species as M. lucina Dist. which also occurs in Ceylon. 
Distant has in his Indian Fauna given translations of the 
description of those Motschulsky's Ceylonese Heteroptera and 
Homoptera that had remained unknown to him, but in dealing with 
these species it is necessary to use Motschulsky's original paper, 
as Distant in many cases has grossly misunderstood Mot- 
schulsky's Latin description.
