2. G-l. flavomaculatus, Fabr., Fieb., Dougl. et Sc. (?), — fulvipes, Saund. (?), 
— cruciatus, Reut.!: Vertex of the <$ almost Jlat, margin carinate, the earina to- 
ward the eyes more obtuse and curved. Head of ? with the vertex convex and 
rather slightly raised above the eyes. Eyes in the S scarcely remote from the pro- 
notum. Pronotum at the base two and a-lialf to two and two-thirds (d), or almost 
twice as broad as at the extreme apex before the calli ; the calli in ^ very elevated _ 
Corium behind the base with a large triangular truncate whitish patch, 4 he right 
forceps in $ irregularly heart-shaped ( cordatus ), the right lobe shorter and broader, 
the left lobe longer, and with the margins almost parallel, the whole upper margin 
of the forceps (in the middle angular-emarginate), especially in the right lobe, with 
numerous small teeth. 
3. G-l. salicicola, n. sp. {= fulvipes, Reut., nec Scop., nec Saund., =favo- 
maculatus, var. 1, F. Sahib.) : Vertex of the d flat, the elevated margin straight , as 
far as to the inner margin of the eyes, vertex, before this margin, at each side with a 
transverse impression, front very declivous. Head of $ slightly raised above the 
eyes. Eyes in the £ not remote from the pronotum. Pronotum at the base two 
and two-thirds ( d ) or almost twice ( ^ ) as broad as at the extreme apex before the 
calli; calli in $ loio, in d scarcely elevated. Corium behind the base with a small 
exterior whitish spot, or wanting this marking (d)> or with a rather large* trian- 
gular truncate patch (? , very rarely in $). Right forceps of d large, irregularly 
triangular with acute angles, the left more acuminate and curved, the upper margin 
toward the angles with small teeth. 
I name the first species selectus, Fieb., and the second favomacu- 
latus , Fabr., Fieb. From the short description of Fabricius, it is not 
to be elucidated which of the two species he has described ; and I 
think it is, therefore, just to retain the nomenclature employed by 
Fieber, the first author, who has separated them. This is more 
probable because Fabricius indicates “ Germania as the country 
for his species, and both species occur there. In the north of Europe, 
is found only sclectus, the favoviaculatus of Scandinavian and Finnish 
authors belonging to this species. Not having observed that Fieber’s 
jlavomciculatus differed from my salicicola {fulvipes, olim), I described 
the former species as new, under the name cruciatus (Ofvers. Finska 
Yet. Soc. Forh., xxi, p. 3G, 10). 
I have changed the nam e fulvipes to salicicola. Cimex fulvipes, 
Scop. (Ent. Cara., p. 134, 388), which I had before identified with 
Jlavomaculatus , Fieb., cannot be regarded as a Q-loliceps. Scopoli says 
in his description : “ Niger ; elytris corio fusco, basi apieeque albo ; 
pedibus fulvis,” and further: “Antennae basi [= first joint] fulvae. 
Aim hyalinae. Femora postice compressa.” The $ is described : 
“ Larva nigra ; antennis/w^fs, apice nigris ; elytro abbreviate, coriaceo, 
albo: fascia nigra; pedibus fulvis.” This description somewhat 
* Smaller than in the preceding species.
