Subfaru. Pentatomin^;. 



Sputleus parvttltts. (Plate LII. fig. 1.) 

 Halys parvula Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 22 (1837). 

 The species identified with ttiis by Dallas (List Hem. i. p. 169, 

 1851) is altogether different, and must not be treated as the same, 

 as has been enumerated by Stal, and catalogued by Lethierry and 

 Severin.

Halys assimilis Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 21 (1837). 

 Orthoschizops assimilis Stal, En. Hem. v. p. 49. n. 8 (1876). 



Orthoschizops ? rugosus. (Plate LII. fig. 3.) 

 Atelocerus rugosus Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 21 (1837). 

 The type and only specimen which I have seen is without the 

 abdomen, and is consequently unable to be strictly identified in a 

 generic sense. It seems, however, to belong to the genus 

 Orthoschizops. 



(?) Halts rufescens Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 24 (1837). 



This species is recorded by Stal (En. Hem. v. p. 42, 1876) as 

 belonging to the genus Poecilomdis. It is not, however, contained 

 in the type collection forwarded to me from Oxford. 



(?) Halys dentipes Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 24 (1837). 



I have the following note from Oxford relating to this species — 

 " dentipes is missing, space empty, specimen not to be found." 



Kalula, gen. nov. 



Body elongate. Head long, about two-thirds the length of the 

 pronotum, the lateral margins sinuate and slightly widened, 

 rounded, and moderately laminate at the apices of the lateral 

 lobes, which are a little longer than the central lobe and cleft 

 centrally ; antenme moderately short, first joint not nearly 

 reaching apex of head, second joint considerably passing it, fourth 

 and fifth joints distinctly thickened ; ocelli much nearer eyes 

 than to each other; rostrum reaching the posterior coxa?. Pro- 

 notum distinctly depressed from between the pronotal angles, which
