This fpecies is allied to Cimex bellicofus, a native of Africa. Fabricius notes Lygeus Phafianus from 
Africa alfo: our {fpecimens were brought from China by the late Mr. Ellis, furgeon.

This very fingular creature is a Cimex of Linneus. It is a rare fpecies, and has only been defcribed by 
Fabricius, who places it in the new genus Reduvius a, 
4 Linnzus comprehends under the general title Cimex, a variety of infects, very oppofite in appearance, though not effentially 
different ; and to avoid confufion in the arrangement of thefe diffimilar fpecies in the same genus, he feparates them into eleven 
diftin& families, under the names of Apteri, Scutellati, coleoptrati, &c. Fabricius, throughout all his works, endeavours to divide 
the Linnean Cimices, and finally, in the Entomologia Syftematica, he refers them to the following genera, Acanthia, Cimex, Coreus, 
Lygaus, Miris, Gerris, and Reduvius.
