The Editors wish to draw attention to the fact that the current volume completes the Appendix to the Heteropterous portion of the Indian Rhynchota, and Mr. Distant has given us descriptions of a large number of forms which have been collected in various localities in British India since the previous volumes were published. A further volume, which will form an Appendix to the Horaoptera^ will complete the enumeration of the Indian Rhynchota, with the exception of the families Psyllid^, AphididjE, ALEURODiDiE^ and CocciDiE. The thanks of the Author and Editors are due for much help received from various sources in India, amongst which especial mention should be made of the Authorities at the Indian Museum, Calcutta, and the Imperial Entomologist at Pusa. It may be added that two other volumes of the Series are now in tiie Printers hands ; Canon W. W. Fowler's work on the CiciNDELiDvE, Paussid.e, and a General Introduction to the Coleoptera; and Dr. N. Annandale's work on the Freshwater Sponges, Polyzoa and Hydrida of India. December 1910. A. E.

Family LYG.EID.E. (Vol. II, p. 1.) The most noteworthy incident which has arisen in connection Mith this family since it was previously ^enumerated in this series is a question of nomenclature, and applies to the name of the family itself. The question was first raised by the late Mr. Kirkaldy, who advocated the view that a family name should be founded on the oldest genus it embraced, and should be changed accordingly. He proposed three different emendations : — 21i/odocJiidce = Lyijceidce, auctt., Kirk., Entomologist, xxxii, ■p. 220 (1899). Geocoridce = Lr/gmdce, auctt., Kirk., J. Bombay Nat. Hist, Soc. xiv, p. 306 (1902). Py rrliocoridce = Lygceidce + PyrrJiocoridcf, auctt.. Kirk., Faun. Hawaiieu. iii, pt. ii, p. 158 (1902). The first of these substitutions has now been adopted by several writers on the family, but others and myself retain the original name. It is a similar disturbance in nomenclature as was advo- cated for the change of the well-known family name Cajisidce to that of Jlirida- (cf. vol. ii, p. 413) and may well be left in the area of nomenclatory disputation. To add to the confusion, and by necessity, Kirkaldy then pro- posed that the deposed name Lygcmlce should be substituted for another well known and universally employed family name Coreidce. This suggestion, however, he recently discarded (Canad. Ent. 1910, p. 63), again adopted the name Coreidce and advocated that Lygmdce " should pass away into the realms of synonymy." The effect of these propositions has been disastrous ; Dr. Sharp, in compiling the last ' Zoological Record,' has been compelled, " owing to the confusion now existing," to ti'eat the families Coreida', Lyyceida', and Fyrrhocoridce in combination. Since the enumeration of the Lygcddce was published in these volumes, Dr. Horvath has published an excellent monograph of the Colobathristinte as restricted by liimself. The late Dr. Breddin has also described a number of species from Ceylon, accompanied by a considerable dislocation of the usually observed sequence in the arrangement of the subfamilies. These publications are incor- porated in the following pages, but I have not seen any of Breddin's types, and in his description of species it should be remembered that that writer pursued an analytical rather than a synthetic process.

(Stdl.) The above are the generic characters given by Stal when he described (1865) his West African type under the genus Astacops. He subsequently (1874) founded the genus jEthalotus for its reception, giving the following additional characters : — " Ocelli about twice as far removed from each other as from eyes ; pro- notum punctate." The position of the ocelli (sometimes only one and a half times as far removed from each other as from eyes) and the punctate pronotum will serve to separate ^tJialotus from Astacops. 2769.

Colobathristiiise, Korv. Ann. Mus. Hung, ii, p. 117 (1904). I do not propose altering my conception of this subfamily as the opinions of taxonomists still appear to be in an unsettled condition. Thus Malcida proposed by Stal (18G5), evidently used for the reception of his genus Malcus (vol. ii, p. 32), and advocated by Horvath {supra p. 118, note), was subsequently discarded by Stal in his En. Hem. p. 170 (1874) where he places Malcus under " Genera et species Lyc/cndarum incerti loci systcincitici.'" In placing Malcus in the Colobatliristinte, I am in agreement with Lethierry. My genus Curupira (1888), however, has been shown to be a S3nionym of Colohathristcs, Burm., and I seem to have been clearly in error in placing it in the Coreidaj, and certainly wrong in including it with the Leptocorisaria. Here again, however, there is almost a parallel diversity of opinion, for Stal, who still remains our greatest au- thority, in his "Enumeration of the Lygceidse " (1874), placed the Berytiuse as a subfamily of the lyygceidse, though he had prevously (18G5) located the Berytida as a distinct family between the Coreidai and the LygJBida?, this latter opinion now being almost universally followed by Ehynchotists, though Van Duzee follows StaFs earlier direction.

Breddin states that this jiroposed genus extremely resembles in structure of head and especiallv pronotum, as well as in its facies, the genus Udcdricus * (vol. ii, p. 49), but is distinguished by tlie structure of the scutellum. It is therefore possibly of subgeneric rank to Lkhdricvs, as Jireddin was a well-known user of the most minute characters for the most profound divisions. 2824. NotOChilaster teres, Bredd.
