Renter (1. c.) establishes the fact that Cimex festivus, Linn., is not 

 the species of that name as used by later authors, but is E. pictum, H. S. 

 hence arises some difficulty in arranging the synonymy. Through the 

 kindness of M. Lethierry, I have received a specimen of E. festivum, from 

 Amasia in Asia Minor, -which agrees in all respects with Hahn's figure of 

 8. picta which is described by him as having ' the antennas black ; head 

 reddish or yellowish, anteriorly with two spots, and from the eyes hind- 

 wards, black-green : above punctured ; pronotum yellowish, reddish on 

 the border ; anteriorly with two transverse spots, and, behind them, a 

 transverse row of four almost quadrate spots, black-green : scu- 

 tellum yellowish, reddish at the apex, black-green at the base : hemely- 

 tra reddish or yellowish, each with a hook-shaped black-green marking, 

 behind which, as also on the outer margin, is a black-green spot : 

 abdomen beneath yellowish or reddish ; on the outer margin on each 

 side a small black-blue point on each incisure : wings black-green with 

 whitish limbus : feet yellowish, ringed and streaked black-green.' Long, 

 lOi ; broad, 5j mill. 



Beported from Europe, Yarkand, Sind valley, and probably Sikkim.
