STRONGYLOCORIS, Cosi. 
(Stiphrosoma, Pied.) 
A genus of short oval, convex species, with very wide 
heads, of which we have only two of the eight recorded as 
Paleearctic, in Britain ; the short antennz, which are hardly 
longer than the head, pronotum and scutellum together, 
and the flattened head posteriorly, which fits closely on to 
the anterior margin of the pronotum, and the short legs, 
will serve to distinguish it from all the allied genera.
