third ; head impuiictate, tlie ocelli at base and near eyes ; 

 pronotum with the anterior lobe tumid, impunctate, the 

 lateral margins moderately convex and narrowing to head, 

 posterior lobe sparingly coarsely punctate ; scutellum sparingly 

 finely punctate ; anterior femora incrassate, finely spined 

 beneath, the anterior tibiae moderately curved and strongly 

 inwardly ampliated at apices ; membrane slightly passing 

 the abdominal apex ; rostrum reaching the posterior cox^. 



Long. 6-7 mm. 



Hah. Calcutta. 



Differing from O. ti/pus, Dist., by the spinous anterior 

 femora and the more dilated apices of the anterior tibise, 

 different colour of the legs, &c. 



This species was taken at light in November 1907. 



Correction. 



In Faun. Brit. Tnd., Rhynchota, vol. iv. p. 432, I described 

 the genus Armatillus and unaccountably included it in the 

 Pentatomidse. This was a wrong location, and it should 

 have been placed in the Pyrrochoridse. I have to thank 

 Dr. Bergroth for calling my attention to this very obvious 

 taxonomical misplacement.
