He evidently followed Signoret wlio. in describing thedistribution of T. bicolor, Linn, (now generally included in thegenus Sehirus), wrote Europe and Asia. There is, however,no record of the species occurring in India or other parts ofour region. _ aIzW^-->^ 5- 0 /^-7-»-- ^ / , ^/ ^ m ^.^.^ Mais, ^^r,/Ja^.^ ^^ 109 Subfamily V. PENTATOMIN^.

The Pentatominse agree with the remaining subfamihes of thePentatomidae in having a somewhat common taeies, and are thuseasily recognized. The fundamental structural characters of thissubfamily are the following:—The primary and subtended veinsof the hemelytra are generally found close together and more orless parallel to each other, but diverging at the apex ;
