188 ADDENDA. 



Genus BLISSUS. (Vol. II, p. 28.) 



3777. Blissus latus, sp. n. 



Immature form. Allied to B. yibbus, Fabr., of which the imma- 

 ture form is figured (vol. ii, p. 28, fig. 20), but a shorter and 

 more robust species ; the proiiotum slightly shorter and con- 

 siderably more convex ; the corium and membrane much more 

 rudimentary, shorter, and less posteriorly elongated ; antennae 

 paler and more ochraceous in hue. 



Length (immature form) 3-4 milliui. 



Hub. South India; Chikkaballapura (T. V. Campbell). 



We have described the immature form (which we have alone 

 seen) because in that condition its ally B. gibbus, Fabr., is a most 

 destructive pest to sugar-canes at Cawnpore. B. latus will pro- 

 bably be found an equally important pest in South India. 



Genus GEOCORIS. (Vol. II, p. 29 & Vol. V, p. 23.) 

 GEOCOEIS TEICOLOK. (Vol. II, p. 29.) 



Add: Hob. South India; Chikkaballapura, Kodaikaual (T. V. 

 Campbell). China ; Shanghai (Brit. Mug.). 



GEOCOBIS SUPEUBUS. (Vol. V, p. 23.) 



I was previously able (supra) to figure the type of this species, 

 and have now before me five specimens from South India. These 

 vary in having the triangular dark spot at the base of the pro- 

 notiun more or less reduced in size, in some specimens being 

 practically absent. 



Add: Hob. South India ; Chikkaballapura (T. V. Campbell). 



3778. Geocoris lutulentus, sp. n. 



Head, proiiotum and scutellum ochraceous ; corium a little 

 paler, with a prominent black spot at the apical angle ; membrane 

 subhyaline, the basal half black ; antennae with the second, third 

 and fourth joints black, their bases (more or less) and the whole 

 of the first joint pale greyish ; eyes pale castaneous ; pronotum 

 sparingly coarsely punctate ; scutelluiu (excluding extreme base) 

 more finely punctate ; claval area punctate, the apex piceous ; 

 disk of corium impunctate ; body beneath and legs pale ochraceous. 



Length 3-4 millim. 



Bab. South India; Chikkaballapura (T. V. Campbell).
