INSECTA HEMIPTEKA. 191 



Herrich Schaffer's 'die Wanzenartiger Insecteu' (Bugs) is continued 

 with the first two Parts of the seventh volume. In the second Part, a revi- 

 sion of the Peutatomides is commenced, upon which I shall defer my Report 

 until the work is completed, or at least until more of it is before me. The other 

 contents will be referred to more particularly, under the heads of each family.

 have been arranged by Schilling. (Arb. u. Veraud. der schles. Gesell. im J. 

 1843. p. 179.) Among them occurs a new species : Cydnus nota tus ; black, 

 outer margin of hemelytra white, membrane brown ; terminal antcnual 

 joint, covered with gray hairs. Length If". Found once near Landeck.

CAPSINI. List of the Rhynchota indigenous in Switzerland by Meyer. 

 1st Part. The family of the Capsiui, with seven coloured lithographic 

 plates (Soleure, 1813.) A valuable work, not so much a catalogue as a com-

 which the beautiful lithographic plates by Nicolet after the author's 

 drawings, essentially contribute. In it are enumerated : Miris, 7 sp., 

 Loptts, 5 sp., PJiytocoris, 3 sp., Capsus, 10 ( J sp., C/yptostemma 1 sp. New 

 species are, Capsus lucorum, brevicollis, parallelus, Jiortensis, brunnipennis,
