36 Mr. AV. L. Distant on Pyrrhocorida;. 



Genus Antilociius. 



Antilochus Boerhavice. 



Lj/;/frus B:>erhnvi(r, Fabr. Ent. Syst. iv. p. 1-52. ru (1794). 

 Antilochus suhmaculatus, Kirbv, Ann. ^t Miig. Nat. Hist. (G) xviii. 

 p. 268(1890). 



The figure given of Kirhy's type {he. ci't. pi. xii. fig. 4) 

 is un.satist'actuiy, not showing the Uasal lateral ochraceou.s 

 niargiji to the coriiiin, and giving a wrong direction to the 

 basal oblique fascia — both correctly described, however, by 

 Kirby. It is stated by the deseriber, '* Allied to A. Boerhavifv, 

 Fabr., but very distinct." Here Kirby had evidently 

 accepted and been misled by Walker's determination of 

 0. Boerhovice (Cat. Het. v. p. 176), which was applied to 

 some South- African specimens which = A. nigrocruciatus^ 

 IStal. 



Antilochus discifer. 



Antilochus discifer, StSl, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. vii. p. 394 (1863). 

 Melamphaus acutifer, Walk. Cat. Het. vi. p. 16. n. 10 (1873). 



A n tiloch us disco ida lis . 



Pi/rrhocoris discoidaiis, Burm. Nov. Act. Ac. Leop. xvi., Suppl. p. 299, 



"t. xli. tifr. 12(1834). 

 Dindymusdiscoidalis, Walk. Cat. Ilet. vi. p. 6. n. 20 (1873). 

 Var. Melamphaus angulifer, Walk. loc. cit. p. 15. n. 9. 



Walker apparently identified this species correctly and then 

 ledescribed it under Burnieister's specific name. 



Genus EcTATOPS. 



Ectatops indignus. 



Dindt/mns indiffmis, Walk. Cat. Het. vi. p. 10. n. 30 (1873). 

 Ectatojys lar guides, ^^ alk. loc. cit, p. 24. n. 12. 



AV)domen beneath lutepus, posterior margins of the abdo- 

 minal segments very narrowly piceous. Apparently allied 

 to E. erytltromelasj Stal, but differing in the colour of the 

 abdomen. 



Hah. Si am. 



Var. — Corium almost entirely red ; basal angle and apical 

 margin of the membrane ochraceous. 

 Jlah. Arakan. 



Ectatops adustus. 



Ectatops aditstus, Walk. Cat. Het. vi. p. 25. n. 13 (1873). 



Fourth joint of antennae broadly lutcous near base ; rostrum 

 reaching baee of third abdominal segment.
