476 Mr. W. L. Distant’s enumeration of the 
RHYNCHOTA HETEROPTERA. 
PENTATOMIDA. 
PLATASPIN AS. 
Coptosoma ramosa. 
Coptosoma ramosa, Walk., Cat. Het., 1, p. 93 (1867). 
This species was originally described from Wagiou. 
SCUTELLERINAS. 
Cantao ocellatus. 
Cimex ocellatus, Thunb., N. ins. Sp., 3, p. 60, f. 72 
(1784). 
The specimen here enumerated is an example of the 
variety in which the pronotal angles are not produced, 
or, in other words, not spined. This, however, is no 
local peculiarity, as I possess specimens from the Hima- 
layas and the Malay Peninsula in which precisely the 
same character is found. 
The species has a wide range, its area extending from 
Continental India to New Guinea 
Philia aureocincta. 
Callidea aureocincta, Walk., Cat. Het., 1, p. 41 (1867). 
This species was originally described from New Guinea. 
I possess examples from Duke of York Island.

similar spot reversed at base of scutellum, and two small spots near 
apex of scutellum, dark shining blue ; membrane bluish black, the 
margins fuscous. Legs bluish black, the coxw, trochanters, and 
apices of the femora beneath ochraceous. Body beneath ochra-
