1900.] IX THE HOPE COLLECTION AT OXFORD. 811 



Tropicorypha DEPLANATA. 



Pentatoma deplanata "Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 35 (1837). 

 Agonoscelis rufescens Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 546 (1868).

 Pentatoma confusa Westw. (MS.) in Hope Cat. i. p. 9. n. 65 

 (1837). 



This species stands, as Westwood pointed out, under the name 

 of juniperinus in the Banksian Collection. Westwood apparently 

 substituted his name confusa, but did not describe the species. 



Palomena yirldissima. 



Cimex viridissima Poda, Ins. Mus. Gr. p. 56. n. 10 (1761). 

 Pentatoma rotutulicollis Westw. (MS.) in Hope Cat. i. p. 9. n. 66 

 (1837). 



This appears to be a name substituted by Westwood for 

 "prasinus Wolff nee Linn.," and with no published description. 



Palomexa unicolor. (Plate LII. fig. 5.) 



Pentatoma unicolor Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 41 (1837). 



A species allied to P. spinosa Dist. and P. angulosa Motsch.

 i. p. 316. n. 8 (1859); Leth. & Sev. Cat. Gen. Hem. i. p. 120 

 (1893).

 (1872). 



Pentatoma ovalis {oblonga) Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 39 (1837). 



Pentatoma grisea Dall. List Hem. i. p. 246. n. 33 (1851). 



This is not the P. oblonga Westw. loc. cit. p. 37, as stated by 

 Stal (En. Hem. ii. p. 33) and repeated by Lethierry and Severin 

 (Cat. p. 120), which is a Javan species, and a synonym of Nezara 

 viridula Linn. 



Mormedea scutellata. (Plate LII. fig. 7.) 



Pentatoma scutellata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 37 (1837). 



EUSCHISTUS SERTUS.

 vol. i. p. 314 (1859). 



Pentatoma spilota Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 42 (1837). 



Westwood's habitat is " Brasilia ?," but it is doubtless a North 

 American specimen which forms the type of his P. spilota.
