Coptosoma Murrayi (?). 



Coptosotna Murrayi, Sign., Thomson, Arch. Ent. ii. p. 271, pi. ii. 



fig. 2 (1858) ; StSl, Hem. Afr. i. p. 9 (1864). 

 Coptosoma hirtella, StSl, (Efv. Vet.-Akad. Forh. 1858, p. 433. 



One specimen only. 



Subfamily Scutellerin^, 



Sphcerocoris ocellatus. 

 Tetyra ocellata, Klug, Symb. Phys. v, pi. xliii. figs. 1-3 (1834). 

 A common species in most parts of Africa. 



Family Pentatomida. 



Subfamily Pentatominm. 



Gen. ? 



An undetermined species of Pentatomidae, superficially 

 resembling Dolycoris haccarum, Linn., but with longer and 

 more slender antennse. 



Atehcera serrata. 

 Halys serrata, Fabr. Syst. Rhyng. p. 181. n. 2 (1803). 

 One specimen. 



AspongopuSj Lap., sp. 



An immature specimen, apparently allied to A. femoralis^ 

 Stal ; black, with the tegmina, borders of the abdomen, and 

 femora greenish cupreous, and the last joint of the antennae 

 rufo-testaceous, except at the base. 



Subfamily Tesseeatominje. 

 Piezosternum mucronatum. 



Pentatoma mucronata, Pal. de Beauvois, Ins. Afr. Am^r. p. 46, H^mipt. 

 pi. vi. tig. 5 (1805 ?). 



One specimen, considerably smaller than P. calidum, Fabr., 

 and agreeing fairly with Palisot de Beauvois's figure quoted 

 above, which I have no doubt was taken from an African 

 specimen, though it has latterly been referred to the American 

 P. subulatum. This small form may or may not prove to be 

 distinct from P. calidum, for a series would be required to 

 compare the characters ; and I therefore provisionally retain 

 Palisot's name for it.
