 FAUNA OTTAWAENSIS. 



HEMIPTERA. 



By W. IIac.uk Harrington, F.R.S.C. 



During the past season insects belonging to the Hemiptera appear- 

 ed to be more than usually abundant, and this' seemed especially to be 

 the case with those belonging to the division Homoptera. Many species 

 formerly scantily represented in my collections occurred in abundance. 

 Altogether I collected one hundred species, of which about one-fourth 

 prove to be additions to the lists previously published. Through the 

 renewed kindness of Mr. Van Duzee I am able to furnish a list of these, 

 although several of the species could not be named at present. In re- 

 cording these species I take the liberty of adding, in some instances, 

 Mr. Van Duzee's remarks on the specimens. I include also three 

 additional species of Aradus, formerly sent to Mr. Van Duzee, and 

 referred by him to Dr. Bergroth for determination.
