IN SUMATRA. 277 



New Rhynchota. By W. L. Distant, F.L.S. 



(From the Euto. Month, May, xix. i)!"*. 15G-1C0.) 



The following descriptions refer to species -u'liich I liaYC received 

 during the last few years in collections made hy Mr. Porl>es. Onr 

 present information as to the lUnjndiota of Suniutru is greatly due to 

 Snellen van Vol Icnhoven, whose studies, however, did lot extend to the 

 Coreidm oi this island ; to Ellenrieder, who alone treated of the r.cutato- 

 midae I to various descriptions by the late I>r. trtal; and the same, in a 

 much less satisfactory sense, of the late Mr. "Walker. It will he tlius seen 

 that at present our catalogues and collections of Sumatran Jihynrlofa are 

 of tho most meagre and superficial character though we may reaFonuhly 

 hope that this comparative ignorance will soon he greatly modified by the 

 publication of the natural history section of the late Putch Fxi>eclition 

 into Central Sumatra. ("Tliis work has now been completed, and contains 

 descriptions of many species new to science. H. 0. F.]
