PLATE XX. Fig. 1. 

 Cimex paradoxus, Fakr. $c. 



THE genus Coreus is distinguished by having the body 

 oval, the last joint of the antennae (which consist of 

 four articulations,) ovoid or fusiform, commonly shorter 

 than the preceding. The subgenus Syrtomastes has 

 the last joint of the antennae a good deal shorter than 

 the preceding one, and nearly oval, while the latter 

 is filiform and simple. Of this group S. marginatus 

 is the best known species; S. paradoxus is very 

 similar to it, being of a grey colour, tinted in certain 

 places with reddish brown ; the sides are fringed 

 with ciliated membranous lobes, which give the in-
