i. June, 
accords with my Globiceps, but the elytra are indicated as 3 lin. long , 
and the species is said to live on nut-trees (“ in Corylo ”). In Carniola 
occurs very plentifully * a species (found also in Silesia on oak), viz., 
Alloeonotus distinguendus , H.-Sckf., Fieb., Hem. Fur., p. 262, and I 
am convinced that this is the true Cimex fulvipes , Scop. ; it must, 
therefore, to my mind, be named Alloeonotus fulvipes , Scop. This is 
the reason for the change of the name Globiceps fulvipes to Gl. 
salicicola. A female of this last species was found by me on small 
Sal ices, near Culbin Sands, at Forres, Scotland, in the summer of 
1876. It lives in Finland on Salix rosmarinifolia and Betula nana. 
Acanthi a versus Salda, l. c., No. 188 ; vol. xvi, p. 172. I think 
Mr. Douglas has given good reasons for his opinion on the nomen- 
clature of these insects : the name Saida may be employed for Fabri- 
cius’ Acanthia zosterce , flavipes, etc*., and the name Acanthia be 
adopted for Cimex lectularius, Linn.

Salda marginella, H.-Sckf. (I). et S., Catal., 54, 10), is only the 
male of S. saltatoria , Linn. The sides of the pronotum are straighter 
in the <$ than in the ? . 
Salda testita, E. M. M., vol. xvi, p. 173. I had regarded this 
species as being a variety of S. pallipes , but this is not correct. I have 
now examined specimens sent by Mr. Douglas to Dr. Sahlberg, and 
found that the species belongs to the line 2, l. c., p. 174 : c< the anterior 
tibiae with the base and apex black, and in the middle a rather short 
line.” After a careful examination and comparison with specimens 
found by me in Scotland, I am sure that Salda vestita, is not a variety 
of S. saltatoria, as Saunders regards it, but that it is the macropterous 
form of S. stellata, Curt. ( c-album , Fieb.).f The markings of the 
elytra are the same, and the sides of the pronotum are straight, es- 
pecially in & . I found three specimens in company with stellata, 
brackypt., which is very common in Scotland. In the macropterous 
form, the pronotum is wider posteriorly, on account of the expansion 
of the muscles of the wings. (The most part of the species of Salda 
are crypto-dimorphous, having the elytra and wings of the bracky- 
pterous form, yet not shorter, sometimes a little longer, than the 
abdomen).

captured by Dr. Palm6n. 
f It seems necessary to say that the identification of S. c album, Fieb., with 5. stellala, Curt., 
depends not only on the description, but on actual comparison with the type in Curtis’s collection.
