Genus Bolbocoris. 



Bolhocoris reticulatus. 



Bolbocoris? 7-eticulatus, Dall. List Hem. i. p. 45. n. 2 (1851). 

 Eurygaster incomptm, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 67. n. 10 (1867). 



Genus ANcyROSOMA. 



Ancyrosoma affine. 



Trigonosoma affine, Westw. in Hope Cat. Hem. i. p. 12 (1837). 



Closely allied to A. alboUneata^ Fabr., but with the second 

 longitudinal carina on each half of the scutellum nearly- 

 straight, not strongly waved. 



Genus PoDOPS. 



Podops limosa. 



Podops limosus, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 72. 11. 17 (1867). 



Walker appends to his description the remark : — " The 

 colour distinguishes it from P. niger (Dall.), with which it 

 agrees in structure." This is totally incorrect, the P. niger^ 

 Dall., having the lateral margins of the pronotum convexly 

 sinuate and reflexed. In structure P. limosa resembles 

 P. coarctata, Walk., but can be recognized by some longitu- 

 dinal series of punctures to the scutellum. 



Podops coarctata. 



Cimex coarctatus, Fabr. Ent. S^'st. Suppl. p. 530 (1798). 

 Scotinophara coarctata, Atkins. Notes Ind. Rhynch. Heter. ii. p. 195 



(1887). 

 Podops spinosus, Walk. Cat. Het, i. p. 73. n. 18 (1867). 

 Podops nasalis, Walk. loc. cit. p. 73. n. 19. 

 Podops exacta, Walk. loc. cit. p. 74. n. 24. 



Podops spinifera. 



Podops spinifera, Westw. in Hope, Cat. Hem. i. p. 16 (1837). 

 Podops funestus, Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 621 (1868). 



Podops asper, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 72. n. 10 (1867). 



This species is founded on two specimens ; the condition 

 of both, however, is so deplorable that at present nothing- 

 definite can be said as to specific validity or generic correctness.
