aa was described by Uhler as a new genus, Pygaeus. As the name 

 Salacia is preocciipied I hâve iised tlie name CUgenes for Ihis genus 

 as understood by StAl. Tlie name Pygaeus being aiso preoccupied 

 KiRKALDV SLibslitated the name Antillocoris for it. Kirkaldy was 

 also perfectly right in considering the two divisions as distinct 

 gênera, but, not knowing that Pygaeus was the same as the divi- 

 sion aa, he proposed the name Botocudo for this division. Distant 

 has also united Microcoris Bergr. with this genus in Stâl's com- 

 préhension. Should the number and position of the glanduiar spots 

 of the fourth ventral segment be a quite constant and reliable 

 character in the same species, Microcoris would not only be gene- 

 rically distinct from Stâl's genus, but should be referred to an 

 other division (Lethaearia), although it in ail other characters is 

 identical with Antillocoris. After examination of many spécimens 

 of Microcoris and other exotic Myodochinœ I believe, however, that 

 the number and position of the glanduiar spots hâve been overrated 

 as a systematic character by StAl. Gne or other of thèse spots is 

 sometimes lacking at least on one side of the body. I therefore 

 unité theLef/iaearia with the Rhyparochromaria and followDiSTANT 

 in giving up Microcoris. The rather complicated synonymy of the 

 two geneia iiito which Salacia should be divided is thus as follows.

To CUgenes belong three Neotropical and one African species, 

 to Antillocoris the greatest part of the American and ail Asiatic 

 species.
