NOTES ON HEMIPTERA. 



BY G. W. KIRKALDV, HONOLULU, HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 



Fam. Geocoridse. 



1. Stalagnwstethus pandurus (Scop) \^ = Lygceus militaris, Audi]. 

 — India, Kangra Valley, 4,500 ft., July (Dudgeon). 



2. S. albomaailatiis (Goeze). — Hungary, Budapest (Burr), 



3. Arocatus cBuesceiis, Stal, 1874 = Scopiastes Bergrothi^ Kirkaldy, 

 1903 ! 



4. Graptostethus servus (Fabr.). — Queensland, Brisbane ; 1 9 • 



5. Ccetiocoris Dudgeoni, Kirkaldy. — Distant declares this to be the 



same as C. marginatus (Thunb.), but I doubt it. What I suppose to be 

 the nymph is blood-red. Eyes, antenncC, meso- and metanotum, femora, 

 tibife and tarsi, the odoriferous flaps, last stemite, etc, blackish. Fore 

 femora unarmed. Pronotum deeply impressed ovally down the middle. 

 Tarsi all a little widened apically, and furnished with a pad. 



6. Pyrrhobaphns. — Distant (1903, Faun. Ind., II, 14) says that the 

 first segment of the antenncTS nearly extends to the fore coxae, but his figure 

 8 does not confirm this. In his "Synopsis of genera " (p. 3) delete 

 " Orifices red or pale coloured " from b\. 



Fam. Reduviidse. 



7. Ptilocnemidia lemur (Westw. ) — Queensland, Brisbane. 



Fam. Miridse. 



8. Monalonion Peruvianum, sp. nov. — Polished and shining. Head 

 black, a curved line from near the insertion of one antenna to that of the 

 other, via the base of the head, the under side of the head (except the 

 clypeus), etc, reddish-yellow. Antennae black, not pale at their 

 insertions, 4ih segment reddish. Rostrum yellow, more or less infuscate. 

 Pronotum yellow, collar and the hind margin (widening medially) blackish. 

 Scutellum and tegmina immaculate blackish, membrane and wings very 

 dark smoky, veins concolorous, not polished. Sterna, coxse and abdomen 

 immaculate orange ; rest of legs black, middle femora with a ferruginous 

 ring near the base, hind femora with basal two thirds pale (though the 

 extreme base is blackish). Head nearly three times as wide as long, a 

 trifle more than one-half of the width of the hind margin of the pronotum. 

 Second, third and fourth segments of the antennae shortly pilose, second 

 more than five times as long as the first, about one-third longer than the 

 third, and six times as long as the fourth (unless the latter is shrivelled). 



December, 1407
