366 Mr. W. L. Distant on Coreidse. 



XLV. — Rhynchotal Notes. — VII. Heteroptera : Fam.Coreidas. 

 By W. L. Distant. 



The following notes and descriptions refer to the subfamilies 

 Merocoringe, Mictinge, Amorbinge, Petascelinge, and Dala- 

 derinse. Vol. iv. of Walker's Catalogue refers to the Coreidae, 

 and the species and genera therein described are here reviewed 

 so far as they belong to the subfamilies named above. A 

 number of new species contained in the British Museum are 

 described and also a few from my own collection. 



Merocobin^. 

 Menardus, gen. nov. 



Head beneath armed with a prominent spine or tubercle. 

 Scutellum about the length of the clavus, entire near base. 

 Mesosternum with two small tubercles at base. Posterior 

 femora armed beneath with two rows of strong spines or 

 tubercles. Other characters as in Flavius, to which it is 

 primarily allied by the prominent tubercles on the under 

 surface of the head, and from which it may be at once sepa- 

 rated by the much shorter scutellum.
