The genus Canopus, established by Fabricius in the ' Systema 

 Ryngotorum/ is founded upon the larva of some insect belonging to 

 this family, and most probably, as was kindly pointed out to me by Mr. 

 Westwood, to the genus Chlcenocoris, which indeed is the only genus 

 in the family which inhabits America. Burmeister has described two 

 species, which are really only distinguished from one another by a dif- 

 ference in size. The synonymy of the genus is as follows :
