Subfain. PentatominjE. 



Spud.etjs paevulus. (Plate LII. fig. 1.) 

 Ualys parvula Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 22 (1837). 

 The species identified with this by Dallas (List Hem. i. p. 169, 

 1851) is altogether different, and must not be treated as the same, 

 as has been enumerated by Stal, and catalogued by Lethierry and 

 Severin. 



Dalpada clavata. 



Oimecc clavatus Eabr. Bnt. Syst. Suppl. p. 532 (1798). 

 Halys latipes Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 23 (1837). 

 Ualys concinna Westw. loc. cit. 



Nevisanus alteenans. 



Halys alternans Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 22 (1837). 

 Nevisanus orientalis Dist. Arm. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. xi. 

 p. 391 (1893). 



Okthoschizops assimilis. (Plate LII. fig. 2.) 



Halys assimilis Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 21 (1837). 

 Orihoschizops assimilis Stal, En. Hem. v. p. 49. n. 8 (1876). 



Okthoschizops ? etjgostjs. (Plate LII. fig. 3.) 

 Atelocerus rugosus Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 21 (1837). 

 The type and only specimen which I have seen is without the 

 abdomen, and is consequently unable to be strictly identified in a 

 generic sense. It seems, however, to belong to the genus 

 Orthoschizops. 



(?) Halts etjeescens Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 24 (1837). 



This species is recorded by Stal (En. Hem. v. p. 42, 1876) as 

 belonging to the genus Pcecilometis. It is not, however, contained 

 in the type collection forwarded to me from Oxford. 



(?) Halys dentipes Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 24 (1837). 



I have the following note from Oxford relating to this species — 

 " dentipes is missing, space empty, specimen not to be found." 



Kaltjla, gen. nov. 



Body elongate. Headlong, about two-thirds the length of the 

 pronotum, the lateral margins sinuate and slightly widened, 

 rounded, and moderately laminate at the apices of the lateral 

 lobes, which are a little longer than the central lobe and cleft 

 centrally ; antennae moderately short, first joint not nearly 

 reaching apex of head, second joint considerably passing it, fourth 

 and fifth joints distinctly thickened ; ocelli much nearer eyes 

 than to each other ; rostrum reaching the posterior coxae. Pro- 

 notum distinctly depressed from between the pronotal angles, which
