Remarks on the PENTATOMIDAR.

as very distasteful, though two species at least were 
procryptic. They are strongly malodorous.

Anoplocnemis curvipes F.

A ® Large,  blackish-brown, 
of tke plant to escape 
notice. 
Remarks on the CoREIDAER. 
No. 42, though very malodorous, was regarded as quite 
a dainty, although the monkey was obviously afraid of 
its proboscis and often rubbed it on the ground.* 
* A. curvipes was also eaten greedily by Dr. G. A. K. Marshall’s 
baboons, although rejected after trial by a kestrel (Trans. Ent, 
Soc. Lond., 1902, pp. 345, 382-3),—E,B.P,
