Mayr remarks on the synonymy of Cimex augnv (Thunb.) and its varie- 
ties (Reise der Novara, Zool. ii. Hem. p. 131), and figures Dindymus circum- 
cinctus (SiSl), 1. c. Taf. 3. fig. 31 and 32. 
Stfil (Hem. Afr. iii.) divides this family into the two subfamilies Largida 
and Pyrrhocorida, which he characterizes as follows : — 
Largida, Sixth ventral segment in $ cleft to base. 
Pyrrhocorida, Sixth ventral segment entire in both sexes. 
. The former subfamily, besides the genera usually referred to it, includes 
some belonging to the Pjrrhocorides of Aniyot & Serville, such as Lohita and 
Physopelta of those authors, which certainly have but little immediate affinity 
to the true Largi.

The number of African species of this family described by 
Stal (Hem. Afr. iii.) is very small ; they are referred by him to 
the known genera Sphinctothorax (Stfil), Megaccelum (Fieb.), 
Derceocoris and Eurymerocoris (Kirschb.), and to a new genus, 
Volumnus (Stal.) 
Teratoeoris. Douglas & Scott add T. dorsalis (Fieb.) to the British list, 
and characterize the genus and species. Ent. M. Mag. ii. pp, 218 and 219. 
This species is figured in Ent. Annual, 1866, fig. 4. 
Douglas & Scott also characterize as British species APtorhinus (Capsus)
