^' India " as a habitat for this species, doubtless based on the 

 " India orientalis " of Fabricius. It appears to be a Malayan

Homoeocerus dilatatus, Horv. Term. Piizetek, 1879, p. 145, 

 t. vii, f. 2. 



Lethierry & Severin (Cat. Gen. Hem. ii, p. 36) give as habitat of 

 this species " India bor., Siberia or.," and, as they give a wrong 

 bibliographical reference, have probably fallen into confusion. 

 Horvilth's locality is China. 



Homoeocerus lineatus, Walk. Cat. Het. iv, p. 97 (1871). 



A species recorded from Burma, but no specimen with the name 

 can be found in Brit. Mus. collection. The species is therefore 

 regarded as non-existent.
