Limnometra is a synonym of Tenagogonus Stâl, the type of which is T. 

 albovittatus Stal (1855) from Natal, a species totally forgotten by Stâl 

 himself in his later writings and also omitted in the Catalogue of 

 Lethierry and Severin. 



N.B. — The segment following immediately after the metanotum has 

 by me previously (Ent. Monthly Mag. 1902, p. 259) been called the 

 metaphragma, but I now with Breddin think it more natural to regard 

 it as the first abdominal segment. 



4. Ptilomera Dromas Bredd. 



Wonosobo (J.). 



N.B. — In his Indian Fauna Distant has repeated the mistake of 

 the old authors in describing and figuring the male of this genus as the 

 female, and vice versa. — Rheumatogonus Kirk., which Kirkaldy treated 

 as a subgenus of Ptilomera Am. S., is generically quite distinct from it. 



5. Metrocoris strangulator Bredd. 



Goenoeng Oengaran (J.). 



The eyes in the apterous form reach the middle of the pronotal lateral 

 margins. No author has paid any attention to the size of the eyes in 

 the species of this genus, but it is a prime specific character in the 

 apterous form. There is one group of this genus in which the eyes in 

 the apterous form reach the anterior end of the mesothorax, thus entirely 

 enclosing the pronotum from the sides, broadly separating it from the 

 propleurœ. 



Breddin knew only the apterous form of strangulator] Mr. Jacobson 

 also found the winged form. Both forms are exceedingly similar in colour 

 to M. nigrofasciatus Dist., but the male front femora are differently 

 shaped and armed.
