Subfamily TV. CORIZIN.E. 



Coriziiia, Stal, Ofc. J'et.-Ak. Fork. 1872, uo. 0, p. 50. 



From the previous subfamilies of the Coreidse the Corizinoe may 

 be distinguished by having the odoriferous orifices sometimes 

 indistinguishable, and by having only the dorsal surface of the 

 fourth abdominal segment at base and apex more or less medially 

 sinuate. 



A somewhat small subfamily universally distributed, but scantily 

 represented in the fauna of British India. It contains four 

 divisions, of which only two require notice here. 



Division COIUZARIA. 



Corizaria, StdJ^ Fn. Hon. iii, p. 97 (1873). 



Anterior lateral margins of the pronotum not or obtusely 

 sinuate ; areole at anterior apical area of corium quadi'angular. 



The above characters are sufficient to enable the Corizaria to be 

 distinguished from the Serinetharia, the only other division found 

 in British India. 



The Corizaria are now all included in oi:e genus ; a number 

 of others have been proposed, but are by general consent con- 

 sidered only as sectional divisions of the genus Corizus.
