Extract

For some years prior to 1935, the cotton Capsid of Uganda, which is now known to occur in several other parts of Africa also, was called Lygus vosseleri, Popp. In 1935, Mr. W. E. China of the British Museum (Natural History), after examining type material, published a note synonymising vosseleri of Poppius with simonyi of Reuter and concluded that the cotton Capsid previously identified by him as L. vosseleri, Popp., must therefore be called L. simonyi, Reut. This latter name has been in general use for the cotton Capsid since 1935 and is very widely known because of the great importance of the insect as a pest of cotton.
