 ]\lerocorina>, Mictiiit«, AmorbinaB, Petascelince, and Dala- 

 derinfe. Vol. iv. of Walker's Catalogue refers to the Coreidae, 

 and the species and genera therein described are here reviewed 

 60 far as they belong to the subfamilies named above. A 

 number of new species contained in the British Museum are 

 described and also a few from my own collection.

 femora armed beneath with two rows of strong spines or 

 tubercles. Other characters as in Flavins, to which it is 

 ])rimarily allied by the prominent tubercles on the under
