Genus Carcinocoris. 



Handlirsch, in his excellent monograph of the Phymatidje, 

 published in 1897, sank his Carchiocon's erinaceus ( Verh. k. k. 

 zool.-bot. Ges. AVien, xlvii. 1897) as a synonym of C. Bing- 

 hami, Sharp (Ent, Month. Mag. 1897, p. 35), Since then 

 Sharp has figured his species (Cambr. Nat. Hist. vol. vi, 

 p. 554, fig. 267, 1899), and a comparison of the figures given 

 by each author proves the absolute distinctness of the two 

 species.

 C. erinaceus, Handl. Scutellum long and slender, as in
