Rhynchota collected in Japan. 437 



received the species from the Philippines. I have also 

 received it from North Borneo, where it was collected by 

 Mr. Pryer ; and, as these specimens do not differ from 

 those brought home by Mr. Lewis, I have added Mr. 

 Scott's proposed name to the synonymy.

Pachymerus japonicus. 

 Pachymerus (Graptopeltvs) japonicus, Stal, En. Hem., 



iv., p. 160, n. 3 (1874). 

 Graptopelta albomarginata , Scott (nee. Uhler), Ann. & 



Mag. Nat Hist., ser. 4, vol. xiv. (1874). 

 From specimens identified as G. albomarginata, Uhler, 

 by Mr. Scott, and given to me by Mr. Lewis, I have 

 satisfied myself as to the necessity of the above synonymy. 

 As described by Mr. Uhler, his species reaches 11 mm. 

 in length, and I have as yet seen nothing like it from 

 Japan. 



P. japonicus, as pointed out by Stal, is very — and, one 

 might add, extremely — closely allied to P. adspersus,
