60 Mr. W. L. Distant on 



Genus Asopus. 



Asopus erythromelas. 



Strachia enjthromela, Walk. Oat. Het. ii. p. 339. n. 81 (1867). 

 Strachia pyrophila, Walk. loc. cit. p. 340. n. 83. 

 Var. Strachia prcecipua, Walk. loc. cit. p. 339. n. 82. 



These described forms were reported by me (' Annals/ 

 May 1900, p. 434) as not to be found under the genus and 

 subfamily in which they were described. I have since 

 discovered them under the genus Asopus, where I find Walker 

 subsequently mentions them (Cat. Het. iii. pp. 533, 534, 

 1868). 



Genus (Echalia. 



(Echalia consocialis. 



Pentatoma co?isociale, Boisd. Voy. Astr., Eutom. ii. p. 630. n. 3, pi. ii. 



fig. 9 (1835). 

 Rhaphig aster perfectus, Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 371. n. 83 (1867). 



Mormidea decora, Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 256. n. 25 (1867). 



This species clearly represents an undescribed genus in 

 Asopinse ; but as the type and only specimen is without 

 antennas, it must remain for the present a generic nondescript. 



Abdomen unarmed ; rostrum reaching the posterior coxse ; 

 head rounded in front, the central lobe longer than the 

 lateral lobes ; posterior pronotal angles produced into mode- 

 rately long, slender, acute spines ; scutellum somewhat long, 

 subtriangular, its apex extending a little beyond base of 

 membrane. 



Tessaratominm. 



Genus PlEZOSTERNUM. 



Piezosternum subulatum. 



Cimex subulatus, Thunb. Nov. Ins. Sp. ii. p. 41, pi. ii. fig. 55 (1783). 

 Piezosternum retractum, Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 457. n. 4 (1868). 

 Salica excellent, Walk. loc. cit. p. 469. n. 1. 



Genus Tessaratoma. 



Tessaratoma papulosa. 



Cimex papilloma, Drury, 111. Nat. Hist, i. p. 96, pi. xliii. fig. 2 (1770).

 Tesseratoma furcifera, Walk. loc. cit. n. 17. 

 Tesseratoma timorensis, Walk. (Voll. ?) loc. cit. p. 464. n. 18.
