II. — Bhynchotal Notes. — YIII. Heteroptera: -Fawi. Coreidae. 

 By AV. L. Distant. 



These notes and descriptions refer to the subfamilies Acan- 

 thocephalinffi, Horaceocerina^, Cloresminse, and Colpurinse, 

 with a fe\v further references to the family Pentatomidae. 

 Most of Walker's descriptions in these groups are reviewed, 

 but some two or tliree still await further consideration. It is 

 also probable that some species Walker described in subse- 

 quent locations may, wlien those groups are reached, be found 

 to belong to the above subfamilies.
