Mayr (Reise der Novara, Zool. ii. Hemipt.) follows Stal in 
separating tlie Thyreocoridce from tlie rest of tlie Scutelleride 
forms as a distinct family, Artliropteridoi, and in combining the 
true Cydnides with CorimelcRna &c. to form a family Cydnida, 
The remainder of the Scutata constitute, as with Stal, one great 
family, Pentatomida, which Mayr divides into the subfamilies 
Scutellerida, Asopida, Pentatomida^ Tessaratomida, and Acan- 
thosomida. Of the genera belonging to the first of these sub- 
families, the ScuteUeridayM.iiyv gives an analytical table (l. c. 
pp. 12-20), in which he particularly notices the characters 
of the orifices of the odoriferous apparatus. In the following 
pages Mayr also characterizes in detail the new genera esta- 
blished by him in papers read before the Zoologisch-botanisclien 
Gesellschaft in Vienna (see ^ Record,' 1864 and 1865). 
Scutellerides. 
Lohothyreus {Pachye.^ lobatus (Hope) is described and figured by Ma^T, 
Reise der Novara, Zool. ii. Ilcm. p. 31, tab. 1. fig. 1. 
Diolcus (Mayr) appears to be a dismemberment of Symphylm (Dali.) sepa- 
rated on account of the long furrow of the odoriferous orifice, 1. c. pp. 16 & 
26. 
Sergia (StSl) includes both Argoeoris and Deroplax (Mayr). Mayr, Z. c.

Graptocoris (StM). CalUdea stalii (Voll.) is referred to this genus by Stdl. 
Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 166. 
Calliphara. The genus Callidca is divided by Stal (Ilem. Afr. i. p. 34) 
into a considerable number of genera, several of which are new. lie adopts 
Germar’s name Calliphara for one of these sections, in which the scutellum 
is narrower than the abdomen, leaving the whole costal margin of. the hem- 
elytra free, and the tibiee are sulcate above. Of the species forming this group 
he gives a synopsis (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, pp. 161-164), with notes on their, 
synonymy and descriptions of some of the species from the type specimens. 
The species are : — C.peronii (Guer.) = Callidca regia (Voll.), described, p. 161 ; 
C. imperialis C. hillardierii (¥d)oi)=-Scutellerasplendida (Js1onir.)\ C. 
. cccsar (N oW.') ] C. praslinia (Gui^r.), described as distinct from C. excellens 
(Burm.) ; C. huquetii (Gu^r.) ; C. eximia (Voll.) ; and a new species. ^ ■

Eucorysses. This genus is adopted by Stal (Hem. Afr. i. p. 34), who 
characterizes the 3 species composingit (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 164), namely: 
— E. grandis (Thunb.), inch var. T. haro (Fab.) ; E. sexmaculatus (Leach)= 
Scutellcra arrogans (Montr.) ; and E. atricapillus (Gu6r.), inch var. C. varia- 
hilis (Volh).
