I'ZO E. T. Atkinson — Notes on Indian Rhynchota. [No. 2, 



Subg. Chrysocoris, Hahn. 



Head somewhat small, bending mucli forwards, sides generally 

 strongly sinuated : tborax in cf without an anterior triangular impres- 

 sion : basal part of the scutellum not or only slightly elevated : tibiae 

 above towards the apex flat or furrowed. Stal still further divides this 

 subgenus into the sections Ghlorolampra including G. germarij Esch. ; 

 Chlorochrysa, including G. stocJcerus, Linn, and Ghrysocoris including G. 

 dilaticolUSf Germar. 



As the species of this subgenus are not readily distinguishable I 

 adopt the following scheme partly from Stal (Hem. Fabr. i, p. 11) as 

 some help to identification : — 



1-2. Venter without any flavescent spot or mark. — C. atriventris^ 

 mihi. 



2-1. Venter with disc, at least, flavescent. 



3-17. Lateral margins of pronotum straight or nearly so. 



4-16. Pronotum posteriorly with a single black spot in the middle, 

 sometimes wanting, the antero-lateral margins entirely or nearly en- 

 tirely reflexed. 



6-9. Disc of venter flavescent, with four long rays occupying the 

 apical part of the segments, terminated anteriorly inwards by a black 

 transverse spot that reaches the base of the segments and is remote 

 from the black-irised spiracula. 



6-8. Ventral limbus coerulean or brassy-green : posterior margin 

 of pro- and meso-stethium concolorous: femora flavescent beyond the 

 middle. 



7-8. Pronotum with ten black or black-ccerulean spots. — G. elahiSj 

 Stal. 



8-6. Ventral limbus, rufescent or purplish, rarely flavescent and 

 purple : posterior margin of parts of pectus, flavescent : femora beyond 

 the middle, miniaceous. — G. joatricius, Fabr. 



9-5. Almost entire venter or a very great part of the disc flaves- 

 cent, with on both sides short rays that occupy the base and the apex of 

 the segments and are not terminated by a transverse black spot : scutel 

 lum typically with the apex black or obscurely violaceous, no sub-apical 

 rounded spot. 



10-8. Posterior black spots on the pronotum remote from the 

 base, rather small ; ventral limbus brassy-green, or coerulean, or pur- 

 plish-violaceous. 



11-12. Pronotum with 5 or 7 black spots, that on the lateral 

 angles very small or wanting : femora beyond the middle, flavescent. — 

 0. purpureuSy Westw. G. viridis, mihi. 



X2-11. Pronotum with 7 or 8 black spots, the anterior median one
