Halys serrata, Fabr. Syst. Rhyng. p. 181, n. 2 (1803).

One specimen.

An immature specimen, apparently allied to A. femoralis, Stål; black, with the tegmina, borders of the abdomen, and femora greenish cupreous, and the last joint of the antennæ rufo-testaceous, except at the base.

Pentatoma mucronata, Pal. de Beauvois, Ins. Afr. Amér. p. 46, Hémipt. pl. vi. fig. 5 (1805?).

One specimen, considerably smaller than P. calidum, Fabr., and agreeing fairly with Palisot de Beauvois's figure quoted above, which I have no doubt was taken from an African specimen, though it has latterly been referred to the American P. subulatum. This small form may or may not prove to be distinct from P. calidum, for a series would be required to compare the characters; and I therefore provisionally retain Palisot's name for it.

An immature specimen, apparently belonging to a new genus near Macrina, Amyot.
