of some Hemipterous Insects. 85 



It is of the same form as T. Drurcei (L.) Hardwickii, affinis, 

 &c. of Hope, which differ from T. Banksii and cyampes, in hav- 

 ing the head shorter and squarer in front, the joints of antennae 

 are also broader and more compressed ; by H. Schseffer it would 

 be regarded as a Pachycoris. Named in honour of John George 

 Children, Esq. F.R.S, &c., late president of this society, to whom 

 I am indebted for innumerable acts of kindness.

Head dark shining violet, with two rather long triangular red 

 marks in front of the eyes ; ocelli reddish (antennae wanting in 

 the Museum specimen). Thorax unarmed, dark ochraceous, 

 with two dorsal black spots, having each a small black one in 

 front and towards the side. Legs deep shining purple. Scutellum 

 ochraceous, the edges tile red ; with eight black spots, five at 

 base, two behind the middle, and one near the tip. Breast dark 

 shining violet, posterior margin of prothorax beneath red, abdo- 

 men red, at the end green, sides with dark shining violet spots. 

 Of the same elongated form as C. dispar. 



Note. — It would perhaps be advisable to change the name of 

 this genus, which comes too near Callidium, not only in sound, 

 but in signification. Hahn's name, Chrysocoris, might perhaps 

 be used.
