Lethieny and Severin (Cat. G^ii. H^in. t. i. p. 166) have 

 queried tlii.s species as a synonym of Xezara sparnia, Dall., 

 probably misled by Walker having differentially referred to 

 that species, with which, however, it has nothing in common.

Lethierry and Severin {suj)ra) have regarded these two 

 species as being .synonymic. In H. sja'nosu.f the pronotal 

 .spines are slightly recurved backward ; in S. humeralifi they 

 are directed moderately forward and somewliat upward. 

 In all the specimens of this species wjiich I have examined 

 the reddish spot is present at the base of these sjiines.
