Mr. W. L. Distant on some Coreidae. 121 



XXIII. — On some Coreidte of the Order Rhynchota. 

 Bj W. L. Distant. 



OCHROCHIRA. 

 Ochrochira, StSl, En. Hem. iii. p. 39 (1873). 



The description of this genus is to be sought in Stal's 

 " Conspectus generum " of his division " Mictaria." The 

 type is Myctis alhiditarsis^ Westw., and the genus is difficult 

 to differentiate without an examination of that species, which 

 I now possess. 



The following species may now be added to Ochrochira : — 



Ochrochira hiplagiata. 

 Mictis biplagiata, Walk. Cat. Het. iv. p. 22. n. 51 (1871). 



Ochrochira nigrorufa. 

 Physomerus nifirorufus, Walk. Cat. Het. iv. p. 60. n. 7 (1871). 



Ochrochira fuUginosa. 



Dlscogaster fulif/inosa, Uhler, Proc. Ac. Phil. 1860, p. 225. 



Menenotus tuherculipes, Motsch. Bull. Soc. Mosc. xxxix. 1, p. 187 



(1866). 

 Mictis japonica, Walk. Cat. Het. iv. p. 23. n. 53 (1871). 



Stal, who had evidently either not seen the species or only 

 a female example, writes (En. Hem. iii. p. 51), '' Ad Elasmo- 

 miam vel genus affine referendus." In the male sex, how- 

 ever, the posterior tibise are distinctly toothed or angularly 

 ampliated near centre, whereas in the description of Elas- 

 momia we read, " tibiis posticis marium subtus in dentem vel 

 angulum haud ampliatis." 



Ochrochira pallescens. 

 Prionolomia pallescens, Diet. Ent. Month. Mag. xxv. p. 230 (1889). 



Ochrochira aherrans. 

 Prionolomia aherrans, Dist, Ent. Month. Mag. xxv. p. 230 (1889). 

 Allied to 0. palliditarsis, Stal, but with a narrower pro- 

 notum or with the pronotal angles less dilated &c. 



Ochrochira nigrovittata. 



Prionolomia nigrovittata, Dist. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) vol. iii. 

 p. 419 (1889).
