-260 DÎ G. HORVÁTH Mr. W. L. DISTANT (Faun. Brit. Ind. Rhynch. V. p. 227) — Dr. ANNANDALE lias found this species also in India in the nest of the Common Svrift. The hairs on the lateral sides of the pronotum are somewhat variable in the length. They are usualy shorter than the breadth of one eye, though in many cases of the same length. The specimens received from Jamaica and two specimens of the Hungarian National Museum from Brazil (without locality) have these hairs longer than the breadth of one eye. All other characters being the same, I find no reason to regard them as distinct species or variety. 4. Cimex foedus STÂL. Acanthia foeda STÂL Öfv. Vet.-Ak. Förli. XI. p. 237. 1. (1854). Cimex foedus STÂL Enum. Hem. III. p. 104. 4. (1873). This species described from Colombia (Bemedios) seems very closely allied to C. hemipterus FABR ., but differs by the whole lateral margins of the pronotum being narrowly depressed. Prof. SJÖSTEDT , who has kindly examined the unique type in the Stockholm Museum, informs me, that the second joint of the antennae is only a little longer than the third (18:17) and the hairs on the lateral sides of the pronotum are shorter than the breadth of one eye. 5. Cimex valdivianus PHILIPPI. Acanthia valdiviana PHILIPPI Stett Ent. Zeit. XXYI. p. 64. (1S65). Dr. R. A. PHILIPPI has described this species from Chili, where two specimens, an adult and a larva, were caught under bark at San Juan, prov. Yaldivia. It seems to be very closely allied to the Common Bed-bug, but PHILIPPI writes, that the hairs of the body are very much shorter, the lateral sides of the pronotum more dilated and the metanotum sculptured exactly as the dorsal abdominal segments. Oeciacus STÍL. Oeciacus STÂL Enum. Hem. III. p. 104. (1873). The only species hitherto known of this genus was the European Oeciacus hirundinis JEN. common in the nests of swallows. It is replaced in America by an other new species, living there under the same conditions.
