 Coptosoma hirtella, StSl, (Efv. Vet.-Akad. Forh. 1868, p. 433. 



One specimen only. 



Subfamily Scvtellesinjb. 



Sphcerocoris ocellatus. 

 Tetyra ocellata, Klug, Symb. Phys. v. pi, xliii. figs. 1-3 (1834). 

 A common species in most parts of Africa. 



Family Pentatomida9. 



Subfamily Fentatouinm. 



Gen. ? 



An undetermined species of Pentatomidas, superficially 

 resembling Dolycoris baccarum, Linn., but with longer and 

 more slender antennae. 



Atelocera serrata. 

 Halys serrata, Fabr. Syst. Rhyng. p. 181. n. 2 (1803). 

 One specimen. 



AspongopuSy Lap., sp. 



An immature specimen, apparently allied to A. femoralts, 

 Stal ; black, with the tegmina, borders of the abdomen, and 

 femora greenish cupreous, and the last joint of the antennae 

 rufo-testaceous, except at the base. 



Subfamily Tesseeatominjs. 



Piezosternum mucronatum. 



Pentatoma mucronata. Pal. de Beauvois, Ins. Afr. Am6r. p. 46, H^mipt. 

 pi. vi. tig. 5 (1805 ?). 



One specimen, considerably smaller than P. calidum, Fabr., 

 and agreeing fairly with Palisot de Beauvois's figure quoted 

 above, which I have no doubt was taken from an African 

 specimen, though it has latterly been referred to the American 

 P. subulatum. This small form may or may not prove to be 

 distinct from P. calidum, for a series would be required to 

 compare the characters ; and I therefore provisionally retain 

 Palisot's name for it.
