Show 1900.] IN THE HOPE COLLECTION AT OXFORD. 811 TROPICORYPHA DEPLANATA. Pentatoma deplanata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 35 (1837). Agonoscelis rufescens Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 546 (1868). Tropicorypha rufescens Dist. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, vol. iv. p. 435 (1899). PALOMENA PRASINA. Cimex prasinus Linn. Faun. Suec. p. 241. n. 931 (1761). Pentatoma confusa Westw. (MS.) in Hope Cat. i. p. 9. n. 65 (1837). This species stands, as Westwood pointed out, under the name of juniperinus in the Banksian Collection. Westwood apparently substituted his name confusa, but did not describe the species. PALOMENA VIRIDISSIMA. Cimex viridissima Poda, Ins. Mus. Gr. p. 56. n. 10 (1761). Pentatoma rotundicollis Westw. (MS.) in Hope Cat. i. p. 9. n. 66 (1837). This appears to be a name substituted by Westwood for "prasinus Wolff nee Linn.," and with no published description. PALOMENA UNICOLOR. (Plate LII. fig. 5.) Pentatoma, unicolor Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 41 (1837). A species allied to P. spinosa Dist. and P. angulosa Motsch. PENTATOMA SENILIS. Pentatoma senilis Say, New Harm. Ind., Dec. 1831; Compl. Writ. i. p. 316. n. 8 (1859); Leth. & Sev. Cat. Gen. Hem. i. p. 120 (1893). Lioderma (Khgtidolomia) senilis Stal, En. Hem. p. 33. n. 2 (1872). Pentatoma ovalis (oblonga) Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 39 (1837). Pentatoma grisea Dall. List Hem. i. p. 246. n. 33 (1851). This is not the P. oblonga Westw. loc. cit. p. 37, as stated by Stal (En. Hem. ii. p. 33) and repeated by Lethierry and Severin (Cat. p. 120), which is a Javan species, and a synonym of Nezara viridula Linn. MORMIDEA SCUTELLATA. (Plate LII. fig. 7.) Pentatoma scutellata Westw. in Hope Cat. i. p. 37 (1837). EUSCH1STUS SERVUS. Pentatoma serva Say, New Harm. Ind., Dec. 1831; Compl. Writ. vol. i. p. 314 (1859). Pentatoma spilota Westw7. in Hope Cat. i. p. 42 (1837). Westwood's habitat is " Brasilia ?," but it is doubtless a North American specimen which forms the type of his P. spilota. |
