484. MODERN CLASSIFICATION OF INSECTS. 
time and place, I have found others of both sexes with fully developed 
hemelytra and wings. 
A species allied to Alydus (Actorus fossularum Burm., Alydus 
apterus Duf.) also exhibits a similar diversity of development. I 
also possess a species of Pyrrhotes Westw. (Leptocoris Burm. nec 
Latr.) from the Mauritius, having short hemelytra destitute of mem- 
brane, but possessing ocelli and 3-jointed tarsi. 
The exotic genus Phyllomorphus comprises some of the most 
curious species of the family, of small size, and resembling a withered 
leaf with the edges notched and dilated. The type is the Cimex 
paradoxus Sparrman*, from the Cape of Good Hope. I possess a 
new species of this genus brought from the Levant by Olivier. (See 
Guérin on this genus in Bull. Soc. Cuvierr. No. 8. 1839.) 
Mr. A. White has described some new species belonging to this 
and the following family in a paper read before the Entomological 
Society. 
The twelfth family, ScurELLERIDZ# +, consists of an extensive assem- 
blage of insects of moderate or large size, in general distinguished by 
the large size of the scutellum, the length of the 4-jointed rostrum, 
and of the transversely striated labrum ; the elongated antenne often 
consisting of five joints, the terminal joint not thickened nor ma-
