Dr. E. Bergroth on some Lthiopian Pentatomide. 119 
joint is strongly pilose, the eyes are very prominent and 
shortly petiolate, the hind angles of the pronotum are acutely 
lobed (as in the genera Peltasticus, Dall., Aleria, Stal, and 
Paraleria, Reut.). These characters, together with the un- 
spotted connexivum, give this genus quite a different facies. 
The genus Memmia is more nearly allied to Atelocera than to 
Macropelta: in all three genera the females have two large 
sericeous patches on the venter. 
7. Macropelta Cowan, Dist. 
Memmia Cowani, Dist. Ent. Month. Mag. xix. 108 (1882). 
I have received this insect from Antananarivo (Mada- 
gascar). 
8. Nealeria asopoides, Stal. 
On examining an example of this species agreeing to some 
extent with Stal’s description I find that the tarsiin this genus 
are biarticulated as in Paraleria. I propose to call Stas 
genus Nealeria, as the name Aleria is preoccupied by Marshall 
for a genus of Hymenoptera.
