Atkinson in his " Notes on Indian Rhynchota " has included 

 the genus 7'ritomer/as in the fauna. Por this I can find no corro- 

 boration. He evidently followed Signoret wlio. in describing the 

 distribution of T. bicolor, Linn, (now generally included in the 

 genus Sehirus), wrote " Europe and Asia."' There is, however, 

 no record of the species occurring in India or other parts of 

 our region.
