Show 1900.] IN THE HOPE COLLECTION AT OXFORD. 809 Subfam. PENTATOMIN^E. SpuDiEUS PARVULUS. (Plate LII. fig. 1.) Halys parvula Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 22 (1S37). The species identified with this by Dallas (List Hem. i. p. 169, 1851) is altogether different, and must not be treated as the same, as has been enumerated by Stal, and catalogued by Lethierry and Severin. DALPAUA CLAVATA. Cimex clavatus Fabr. Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 532 (1798). Halys latipes Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 23 (1837). Hcdys concinna Westw. loc. cit. NEVIS AN us ALTERNANS. Halys alternans Westw. in Hope Cat, i. p. 22 (1837). Nevisanus orientalis Dist. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. xi. p. 391 (1893). ORTHOSCHIZOPS ASSIMILIS. (Plate LII. fig. 2.) Halys assimilis Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 21 (1837). Orthoschizops assimilis Stal, En. Hem. v. p. 49. n. 8 (1876). ORTHOSCHIZOPS ? RUGOSUS. (Plate LII. fig. 3.) Atelocerus rugosus Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 21 (1837). The type and only specimen which I have seen is without the abdomen, and is consequently unable to be strictly identified in a generic sense. It seems, howrever, to belong to the genus Orthoschizops. (?) HALTS RUFESCENS Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 24 (1837). This species is recorded by Stal (En. Hem. v. p. 42, 1876) as belonging to the genus Poecilometis. It is not, however, contained in the type collection forwarded to me from Oxford. (?) HALYS DENTIPES Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 24 (1837). I have the following note from Oxford relating to this species- " dentipes is missing, space empty, specimen not to be found." KALULA, gen. nov. Body elongate. Head long, about two-thirds the length of the pronotum, the lateral margins sinuate and slightly widened, rounded, and moderately laminate at the apices of the lateral lobes, which are a little longer than the central lobe and cleft centrally ; antennae moderately short, first joint not nearly reaching apex of head, second joint considerably passing it, fourth and fifth joints distinctly thickened; ocelli much nearer eyes than to each other; rostrum reaching the posterior coxa?. Pronotum distinctly depressed from between the pronotal angles, which |
