316 Mli. W. L. DISTANT OH THE EHTNOHOTA I Nov. 2<>, 



Edessa LINEATA. 



Edessa lineata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837). 

 Allied to E. saturate Dall., differing by the unicolorous con- 

 nexivum and the non-apically excavated scutellum. 



Edessa miniata. 



Edessa miniata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837). 



Edessa scutulata Herr.-Schaff. Wanz. Ins. v. p. 101, fig. 552 

 (1839) ; Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 55. n. 36 (1872). 



Var. Edessa hu-ida Dall. List Hem. i. p. 328. n. 28 (1851) ; Stoll, 

 Pun. fig. 148. 



Edessa flayida. 



Edessa jlavida Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837); Stal, En. 

 Hem. ii. p. 53. n. 21 (1872). 



Edessa lutea Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 28 (1837 ). 



Edessa simplex Herr.-Schaff. Wanz. Ins. v. p. 103, tig. .">;"4 

 (1839). 



Edessa jutea St&l, En. Hem. ii. p. 59. n. 76 (1872). 



This is quite distinct from the species recorded as E. jlavida and 

 E. lutea by Dallas. 



Edessa carnosa. 



Edessa carnosa Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 29 (1837). 



Areratodes costalis Stfil, Eug. Eesa, Ins. p. 231. n. 29 (1859). 



Edessa senilis Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 450. n. 128 (1868). 



Edessa fulvipes var. costalis Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 58 (1872) ; Dist. 

 Biol. Centr.-Amer., Ehyn. vol. i. p. 458. n. 39 (b) (1893). 



Var. Aceratodes fulvipes Dall. List Hem. i. p. 335. n. 6 (1851). 



The form costalis Stal has hitherto been recorded as the variety 

 of E. fulvipes Dall. Xow that Stal's costalis is found to be 

 synonymic with E. carnosa Westw. the oldest name, the sub- 

 sequently described E. fulvipes Dall. must be regarded as the 

 varietal form. 



Subfam. Asopix.k. 



DORTCORIS FUSCOSUS. 



Asopus fvscosus Germ, in Silberm. Eev. v. p. 187 (1837). 



Pentatoma miniata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 43 (1S37). 



Both these descriptions were published in the year 1837, and 

 there is no evidence as to which appeared first. The species has 

 been hitherto known and recorded under Germar's name, and it is 

 therefore better to make no alteration. 



AtJDINETIA SPINIDENS. 



Cirnecc spinidens Fabr. Mant. Ins. ii. p. 285 (1787). 

 Pentatoma aliena Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 40 (1837).
