Genus RIPTORTUS. 
Riptortus decisus. 
Camptopus decisus, Walk, Cat. Het. iv. p. 165, n. 80 (1871). 
Liptortus longtpes. 
Alydus longipes, Dall. List Hem. ii. p. 473 (1852), 
Alydus flavo-vittatus, Stal, ify. Vet.-Ak. Forh, 1855, p. 30. 2. 
Dallas gave Brazil as the habitat of his species, and this 
locality was clearly erroneous, as pointed out by Stal (En. 
Hem, i. p. 95, 1873) ; 1 possess specimens from East Atrica 
which agree with both the type of Dallas and the description 
of Stal. 
Riptortus serripes. 
Cimex serripes, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 709 (1775). 
Alydus robustus, Dall. List Hem, ii. p. 473, n. 18 (1852), 
Camptotus sordidus, Walk, Cat. Het. iv. p. 167. n, 40 (1871). 
The type of Fabricius is in the Banksian Collection con- 
tained in the British Museum. The species identified by 
Dallas as Alydus serripes (List Hem. ii. p. 474. n. 15, 1852) 
is not conspecific.
