438 Mr. W. L. Distant on 



Euschistits? bovillus. 



Euschistus bovillus, Dist. Bull. Soc. Ent. Belg. p. Ixi (1887). 

 Mormidea bovilla, Bergr. Rev. d'Ent. x. p. 222 (1891). 



Dr. Bergroth, who is in entomological criticism nulli 

 sccundus, writes that I have misplaced the genus by including- 

 it in Euschistus, of wliich, in his opinion, " il a \Gjacies, mais 

 non les caract^res." Had he proposed for the reception of 

 this crux criticorum a new genus, the suggestion would have 

 been a happier one than the pronouncement of its being- a 

 species of Mormidea^ and that course will probably have to 

 be followed. 



Genus Ilerda. 



Ilerda punctata. 



Pentatoma punctata, Pal. Beauv. lus. p. 84, Hem. pi. vii. fig. 6 (1805). 

 Mormidea? imisiynata, "Walk, Cat. Het. ii. p. 261. n. 53 (18(37). 



Genus Peoxys. 



Proxys albo-punctulatus. 



Pentatoyna albo-punctiilata, Pal. Beauv. Ins. p. 130, Hem. pi. ix. fig. 8 



(1805). 

 Froxys victor, Uliler (nee Fabr.), Proc. Zool. Soc. 1893, p. 705 ; ibid. 



1894, p. 173. 

 The few specimens from the Antilles returned by Mr. Uhler 

 to the British Museum are all albo-2)unctuIatus, Pal. Beauv. 



Genus TiBEACA. 



Tibraca basalts. 



Mormidea basalis, AValk. Oat. Het. iii. p. 553 (1868). 



Apparently allied to T. limbativentris, Stal, but differing 

 by the colour of the antennee. This species of Walker has 

 nothing to do with the other he described under the same 

 name (Cat. Het. ii. p. 257, 1867), which I have placed in the 

 genus Euschistus. 



Genus Adeia. 



Adria parvula. 



Pentatoma parvula. Ball. List Hem. i. p. 246. u. 35 (1851). 

 Pentatoma brevivittata, Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 312. n. 155 (1867).
