 Genus Thyreocoris. 



Thyreocoris notatipennis. 



Corimelcena notatipennis, Stal, Rio Jan. Hem. i. p. 8 (1860). 

 Corimelana chilocuroides, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 79. ii. 26 (1867). 

 Corimelcena tenninalis, "Walk. loc. cit. p. 80. n. 29. 



Thyreocoris Daldorfi. 



Tetyra DaUlorfii, Fabr. Svst. Rhvng. p. 144 (1803). 



Var. Corijnelcena pictula, Walk. Cat! Het. i. p. 80. n. 30 (1867). 



Thyreocoris hasalis. 



Odojitoscelts basalis, Germ. Zeitschr. i. p. 41 (1839) 

 Corimelcena proxima, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 8 J. n. 28 (1837). 



Thyreocoris integrus. 



Corimelcena integra, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 80. n. 27 (1867). 



Doubtfully distinct ; may probably be one of Stal's species 

 (c/. Rio Jan. Hem.), of which I have not seen typical speci- 

 mens. 



Thyreocoris invar ius. 



Corimelcena invaria, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p, 81. n. 31 (1867). 



The same observation applies to this as to the preceding 

 species (^supra). 



Genus CuRSULA. 



Cursula, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 81 (1867). 



Cursula is allied to ChJcenocoris and represents that o-enus 

 with a laterally compressed body. I formerly described three 

 species as compressed examples of Chlcenocoris, which must 

 either now be placed in Cursula^ or that genus sunk as a 

 synonym of Chlcenocoris. The first course is followed. 



Cursula dissimiUs.
