24 [ June, 1871. 
on the upper-side, with small, black spots in rows, confluent towards the 
apex; tibie with a few small, black spots, towards the apex on the inner 
side, in a row; tarsi, first joint at the apex, especially on the inner side, second 
at the extreme apex, third, on the posterior half, fuscous-black ; claws black. 
Abdomen : above black; in the middle of the basal segments an irregular A-formed 
mark, the posterior margin of the fifth segment, and the whole of the sixth 
(except a black, longitudinal vitta in the middle), stramineous ; connexivum 
stramineous, a black spot at the posterior outer angle of each segment. Under- 
side pale ochreous, a small black spot, close to the stigmata, on each of the 
last three segments. Length, 34 lines. 
A single 2 taken by Mr. Champion at Deal, last July (see vol. vii, 
p. 208). 
Fieber (1.c.) and Stal (1.c.) quote Coreus magnicornis, Fab., as syno- 
nymous with Cimexr Abutilon, Rossi. Stal, however, in his latest work 
(Hemiptera Fabriciana, i, p. 69, 3, 1868), quotes instead Coreus eras- 
sicornis Fab., leaving it to be inferred that C. crassicornis, Lin., is a 
different species. Fieber, however, reckons C. erassicornis, Lin., and 
Fab. as the same, and a distinct species from C, Abutilon. Coreus 
capitatus, Panz., F. G., 92, 19, cited by Fieber and Stal, does not appear 
to us to represent our species ; and their references to Corizus magni- 
cornis, Bohem., and Rhopalus magnicornis, Sahlb., seem to want confir- 
mation.
