Asopides, 
Stal (Oilfvers. Vet.-Akad. Forh. 1807, pp. 496-499) publishes a synopsis 
of the European and American genera of this group. lie combines Stiretro- 
soma (Spin.) with Stiretrus, refers Pentatoma exapta (Say) to his genus 
PeriUus, retains the Linnean generic name Cimex for a gToup of species 
including Cantliecona and ricromcrus (Am. & Serv.), Audinetia (Ell.), and 
Pint1i(Tus — Platij7iopus (Fieb.), refers Telcpta cmcticeps and pulclwi- 
cornis (St^l) to Pjnacantha (l)all.), and states that T. marginata (Dall.) = 
Podis7is alhisiptus (Il.-Sch.), refers Telepta and Troilus (Stfil) a.nd Apateticus 
(Dali.) to Podisus (Il.-Sch.), of which he characterizes four subgenera and 
indicates their species j Apateticus halys (Dali.) = Podisus punctipmnis 
(Il.-Sch.). 
Stal (Kongl. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handl. vii. pp. 16-17) identifies the 
following Fabrician species : — Cimex tripustulatus and tibialis belong to 
Oplomus ; C, spinidens and nigrideiis are referred to Cimex (s. str.) = Piero- 
merus ; C. splendidulus and calens belong to Platynopus, the latter = P.

Sciocorides. 
Stal (CEfvers. Vet.-Akad. Forh. 1867, pp. 499-601) publishes a conspectus 
of the genera which he refers to his subfamily Discocephalida, in which he 
includes several genera, such as Cataidax and Sy^npiezorhynchus (Spin.), 
Coriplatus (White), Antiteuchus and Mecistorhinus (Dali.), and JMnocoris 
(Burm.), which seem hardly to belong to this group. 
Sciocoris varicornis (Dali.) is referred to Lapidus (St51), 1. c. p. 605, where 
the genera of Sciocorides are tabulated.
