Epicoleotichus : for 3 species; I select excellens. 
Paracoleotichus: for 8 species; I select sordidus. 
Montandonia: for 2 species; punctata is the type, as o7 characters are de- 
scribed in the genus, and o7 of longirostris was unknown. 
Madegaschia: for 2 species; polita being compared to distanti. 
Tarichea: for chinensis and nitens; Distant (1902) cites chinensis. 
Calacta: for 2 species, rufonotata being compared to lugubris. 
Oneylaspis: no species 1865, ruficeps 1866. 
Bozius: 2 species 1901, exsiceus selected by Distant in 1902. 
Axona: no species 1865; longitudinalis cited 1866. 
Lyrodes: the other 2 species are compared to basalis. 
Agapophyta: type in 1832 was MS.; bipunetata described in 1835. 
Oncomeris: type MS. in 1832; flavicornis described in 1835. 
Plisthenes: no species 1865; dilatata cited 1866. 
Siphnus: 2 species in 1863, hector being compared to aleides. 
Pygoplatys: antennae described in generic diagnosis, but wanting in type of 
acutus; therefore type validus. 
Odontoteuchus: the other species compared to thoreyi. 
Eurostus: antennae described in generic diagnosis, but lacking in type of 
grossipes ; therefore validus type. 
Virbius: no species 1865; imperiale and angulatum cited in 1866; I now 
select the former. 
Oxylobus : westwoodi uncertain; therefore nigromarginatum type. 
Selenymenum : contractum compared to piriforme.

Additional remarks on dates, localities etc. 
A. 
I have already (p. XIX) alluded to the incorrectness of the date of 
publication on the title page of Stal’s “Hemiptera Africana’’ vol. 1; further 
research has detected similar discrepancies in other works of the same author. 
1. Stal cites, in later works, the Hemipterous part of the ‘‘Eugenie’s 
Resa’? sometimes as 1858, sometimes as 1859, which latter date is generally 
accepted. Gerstiicker, however, writes (Ber. Ent. 1859—60, sep. p. 36 
[1862]) “Der Entomologische Theil der Kongl. Svenska Fregatten Eugenies 
Resa omkring Jorden ist mit zwei ferneren Heften fortgesetzt worden, von 
denen das eine (1859) den . . . Coleopteren . .., das. andere (1860) die 
von Stal bearbeiteten Hemipteren umfasst’’. I propose, therefore ,.to adopt 
1860 until better reason is shown for an earlier date. I may also remark 
that the descriptions of the “new” species in the “Rio Janeiro-traktens 
Hemipter-Fauna’” (1860 Svensk. Vet. Ak. Handl.) which are also ‘new’ in 
the “‘Eugenie’s Resa’, do not cite the latter. 
2. My separate copy of the “Rio Janeiro-traktens Hemipter-Fauna’”’ pt. 1 
is dated 1862, but Stal always cites 1860, as also does Hagen, and my 
friend Prout informs me that 1860 is the correct date. Were there two 
editions of the separata ? 
3. Stal’s Catalogue of the Philippine Hemiptera (O. V. A. F. XXVIII) 
is always referred to as published in 1870, even by Stal himself; never-
