BOMBAY HEMIPTERA. 171 



siibsequilongo, siibfusiformi (art. quintus deest in specimine descripto), 

 rostro coxas medias attingente, articulo tertio secundo paullo breviore et 

 quarto plus quam dimidio longiore. Mesosternum in fundo impressionis 

 mediae carinatum. Sulcus orificialis prope marginem anticum metasterni 

 currens. Hemelytra abdomine paullo breviora, corio angulo apicali anguste 

 rotundato, margine apicali in dimidio interno sinuato, membrana pellucida, 

 leviter fusco-umbrata. Anguli apicales segmentorum abdominis levissime 

 prominuli. Long. 5 '^ vara. 



Stal's and Signoret's descriptions of this rare insect are erroneous in 

 several points, owing no doubt to the circumstance that they had only seen 

 ill-preserved specimens. Dr. Horvath having kindly examined the specimen 

 in the Budapest Museum, upon which Signoret founded his description, has 

 found that it belongs to the same species as -my specimen. The tubercles 

 in the middle of the lateral margins of the abdominal segments described 

 and figured by Signoret are, as Dr. Horvath writes to me, only small 

 particles of dirt.

5. Scidellera pevplexa, Westw. {nohilis, Fabr. nee. L.) 



6. Chrysocoris purpureus, Westw. 



The ground-colour of the living insect and of specimens preserved in 

 spirit is brassy green ; in dried specimens it passes into purplish.

This species seems to be akin to 8. nigra, Dall., but it is partly varie- 

 gated with yellow, the pronotum is not gibbous in front, and the scutellum 

 is longer.
