EDESSA LINEATA, 
Edessa lineata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837). 
Allied to H. saturata Dall., differing by the unicolorous con- 
nexivum and the non-apically excavated scutellum. 
EDESSA MINIATA. 
Edessa miniata Westw. in Hope Cat. 1. p. 28 (1837). 
Edessa scutedlata Herr.-Schiff. Wanz. Ins. v. p. 101, fig. 552 
(1839); Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 55. n. 36 (1872). 
Var. Edessa lurida Dall. List Hem. i. p. 328. n, 28 (1851) ; Stoll, 
Pun. fig. 148. 
EDESSA FLAVIDA. 
Edessa flavida Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837); Stal, En. 
Hem. ii. p. 53. n. 21 (1872). 
Edessa lutea Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837). 
Edessa simplex Herr.-Schiiff. Wanz. Ins. v. p. 103, fig. 554 
(1839). 
Edessa jutea Stil, En. Hem. i. p. 59. n. 76 (1872). 
This is quite distinct from the species recorded as FZ. flavida and 
E. lutea by Dallas. 
FE.DESSA CARNOSA. 
Edessa carnosa Westw. in Hope Cat. 1. p. 29 (1837). 
Aceratodes costalis Stil, Eug. Resa, Ins. p. 231. n. 29 (1859). 
Edessa senilis Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 450. n. 128 (1868). 
Edessa fulvipes var. costalis Stal, En. Hem. i. p. 58 (1872); sDist: 
Biol. Centr.-Amer., Rhyn. vol. i. p. 458. n. 39 (B) (1893). 
Var. Aceratodes fulvipes Dall. List Hem. i. p. 335. n. 6 (1851). 
The form costalis Stil has hitherto been recorded as the variety 
of EL. fulvipes Dall. Now that Stal’s costalis is found to be 
synonymic with H. carnosa Westw. the oldest name, the sub- 
sequently described E. fulvipes Dall. must be regarded as the 
varietal form. 
Subfam. ASOPINA. 
Dorycoris FUSCOSUS. 
Asopus fuscosus Germ. in Silberm. Rev. v. p. 187 (1837). 
Pentatoma niniata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 43 (1837). 
Both these descriptions were published in the year 1837, and 
there is no evidence as to which appeared first. ‘lhe species has 
been hitherto known and recorded under Germar’s name, and it is 
therefore better to make no alteration. 
AUDINETIA SPINIDENS. 
Cimex spinidens Fabr. Mant. Ins, ii. p. 285 (1787). 
Pentatoma aliena Westw. in Hope Cat. 1. p. 40 (18387).
