Show "-*-" MR. W. L. DISTANT ON THE RHYNCHOTA [NOV. 20, are obtusely prominent at about the centre of the lateral margins, from which the margins are concavely sinuate to apex. Scutellum about half the leugth of abdomen. Abdomen unarmed. I have placed this genus near Ocrophara Stal, from which, apart from other differences, it may be distinguished by tbe shape and structure of the head. KALULA VARICORNIS. (Plate LII. fig. 4.) (Elia varicornis Westw. iu Hope Cat. i. p. 33 (1837). Hab. Gambia. DlCTYOTUS SEMIMARGINATUS. Pentatoma semimarginata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 42 (1837). Westwood gave no locality for his species, but the British Museum possesses specimens from Baudin Island, West Australia. Antennas with the first and second joints ochraceous, third, fourth, and fifth joints piceous, apices of third and fourth joints ochraceous. DlCTYOTUS CiENOSUS. Pentatoma ccenosa Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 42 (1837). Pentatoma vilis Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 309. n. 147 (1867). Dictgotus vilis Dist. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, vol. iv. p. 434 (1899). I have previously given the full synonymy of this species, but now, from an examination of the Hope Collection, am compelled to remove it one stage further back. DICTYOTUS PALLIPES. (Plate LII. fig. 9.) Pentatoma pallipes Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 41 (1837). In size and general appearance allied to D. roei Westw., but having the head more elongate and not prominently cleft at the apex, the central lobe being longer. Westwood's type is unlocalized, and I have not seen another specimen. DlCTYOTUS BOEI. Pentatoma roei Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 42 (1837). Dictgotus affinis Dall. List Hem. i. p. 141. n. 4 (1851). This is not the species identified by Dallas as roei Westw. (List Hem. i. p. 140), which is an ally of D. tasmanicus Dall, and is the D. cequalis Walk. NlPHE SUBFERRUGINEA. Pentatoma ferruginea Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 35(1837). Pentatoma cephalus Dall. List Hem. i. p. 245. n. 32 (1851). Pentatoma lateralis Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 301 (1867). Niphe cephalus Dist. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, vol. iv. p. 435 (1899). |
