greenish, black at apex, as long as half the body : thorax inclined 

 anteriorly, with two small, livid, transverse lines, impressly punctured, 

 margin very thinly ferruginous : scutellum immaculate, subelevated at 

 the base : membrane whitish, with a small fuscous spot at the base at 

 the interior angle : wings white, immaculate : abdomen above black, 

 margin green, spotted fuscous, beneath yellow-greenish : tarsi blackish : 

 first tibiae with a minute black tooth in the middle (Wolff). Varies in 

 size, entire antennae rufous, beneath green. Long, 14 — 15 mill. 



Stal unites Gimex dissimilis, Fabr., with this species, but Puton 

 holds them to be distinct. The former has the 3 — 4 joints of the antennae 

 subequal, and the anterior lateral margin of the pronotum very slightly 

 arcuate inside, whilst P. viridissima has the third joint of the antennae 

 from one-third to one-fourth shorter than the second, and the anterior 

 lateral margin of the pronotum very slightly arcuate outside.

/. Furrow of the odoriferous apertures, short or very short, abrupt- 

 ly abbreviated, not continued in a wrinkle or ridge, second joint of the 

 antennae longer than the third.

Stal includes here Garpocoris, Muls., Codophila, pt. Mulsant, and 

 Antheminia, Muls., and arranges the three allied genera thus : — 



1 — 4. Frena not extended beyond the middle of the scutellum. 



2 — 3. Entire anterior lateral margins of the pronotum, or at least 

 anteriorly, reflexed, acutish : — Garpocoris. 



3 — 2. Anterior lateral margins of pronotum anteriorly obtuse, not 

 reflexed : — Godophila. 



4 — 1. Frena extended beyond the middle of the scutellum : — 

 Dolycoris (q. v.).
