Closely allied to the jiveceding species, C. superhus, but differing 

 by having two series of central linear spots on the abdominal 

 segments, situate one on each side of the central area instead of 

 one central series as in Dallas's species, while the second joint of 

 the antennae is distinctly shorter than the third. 



Length 17 ; width between prouotal angles 9 millim. 



Hah. Ceylon (Brit. 3Im.). 



II. Head somewhat large, modei'ately oblique ; pronotum with the 

 anterior lateral margins more or less distinctly sinuated about 

 centre; scutellum tmnsversely elevated at base ; tibiae above 

 flat or sulcated towards the apex. (Cosmocoris.)

(1892). 



Above shining golden-green ; the head, anterior and lateral 

 margins of pronotum bhiish ; the discal and apical area of scutellum 

 bronzy ; pronotum with a longitudinal series of three black spots 

 on each lateral area, and a central lanceolate black spot at base : 

 scutellum with six black spots, three on each side, the last pair 

 somewhat close together a little before apex : body beneath 

 shining bluish-green, the abdomen a little paler in hue; legs 

 dark bluish, tarsi almost black ; coxae and a spot at base of head 

 luteous ; stigmata black. Antennae w ith the first and second 

 joints bluish, the third black ; remaining joints mutilated. 



Length 17 ; width between pronotal angles millim.

III. Head somewhat small, strongly obli(iuely deflected, its lateral 

 margins generally strongly sinuated ; basal area of the 

 scutellum not or only slightly elevated ; tibiae above towards 

 the apex flat or sulcated. {Chrysocoris, Hahu.) 



A. Lateral margins of the pronotum ohtuse, not laminately

Above obscure brassy-green ; base of central lobe to head, a 

 transverse series of three spots near anterior margin of pro- 

 notum, three larger spots near base, and a spot near each lateral 

 angle, six spots on scutellum arranged in pairs and a central spot 



* Au allied species, 6'. coxalis, Stal, lias been included by Atkinson in hi*

 This at present is uncorroborated.
