316 MR. AV. L. DISTANT ON THE RHYJfCHOTA [Nov. 20, 



Edessa LINEATA. 



Edessa lineata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837). 

 Allied to E. saturata Dall., differing by the unicolorous con- 

 nexivum and the non-apically excavated scutellmn. 



Edessa mijjiata. 



Edessa miniata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837). 



Edessa scutellata Herr.-Schaff. Wanz. Ins. v. p. 101, fig. 552 

 (1839) ; Stfil, En. Hem. ii. p. 55. n. 36 (1872). 



Var. Edessa lurida Dall. List Hem. i. p. 328. n. 28 (1851) ; Stoll, 

 Pun. fig. 148. 



Edessa flavida. 



Edessa flavida Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837) : Still, En. 

 Hem. ii. p. 53. n. 21 (1872). 



Edessa lutea Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837). 



Edessa simplex Herr.-Schaff. Wanz. Ins. v. p. 103, fig. 554 

 (1839). 



Edessa jutea StSl, En. Hem. ii. p. 59. n. 76 (1872). 



This is quite distinct from the species recorded as E.JIavida and 

 E. lutea by Dallas. 



Edessa carnosa. 



Edessa camosa Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 29 (1837). 

 Aceratodes costalis Stal, Eug. Eesa, Ins. p. 231. n. 29 (1859). 

 Edessa senilis Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 450. n. 128 (1868). 

 Edessa fulvipes var. costalis Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 58 (1872) ; Dist. 

 Biol. Centr.-Ainer., Khyn. vol. i. p. 458. n. 39 (b) (1893). 



Var. Aceratodes fulvipes Dall. List Hem. i. p. 335. n. 6 (1851). 



The form costalis Stal has hitherto been recorded as the variety 

 of E. fulvipes Dall. 2sow that Stal's costalis is found to be 

 synonymic with E. camosa Westw. the oldest name, the sub- 

 sequently described E. fulvipes Dall. must be regarded as the 

 varietal form. 



Subfam. Asopin.e. 



DORYCORIS FUSCOSUS. 



Asopus fuscosus Germ, in Silberm. Eev. v. p. 187 (1837). 



Pentatoma miniata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 43 (1837). 



Both these descriptions were published in the year 1837, and 

 there is no evidence as to which appeared first. The species has 

 been hitherto known and recorded under Germar's name, and it is 

 therefore better to make no alteration. 



AUDINETIA SPINTDENS. 



Cimex spinidens Fabr. Mant. Ins. ii. p. 285 (1787). 

 Pentatoma aliena Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 40 (1837).
