L.i!iit or the Genera of the PAGIOPODOUS HE.niPTERA- 



BIETEKOPTERA, with their Type Species, from 



1758 to 1904 (aud also of the AQIIATI€ 



and iiiE.MI-AQUATlC TRO- 



CHAL.OPUDA). 



BY G. W. KIRKALDY. 



The object of this list is to enumerate the genera of the Heterop- 

 terous Pagiopoda with their synonyms and type species, with a ref- 

 erence in each instance where possible, to a figure of at least some 

 part of the genotype, or failing that, of a closely related species. 

 It should be considered as a bibliographical contribution, for though 

 a large proportion of the genera has been studied by the compiler, 

 many still remain known only by the descrij)tions, this being the 

 case especially with several described during the last two or three 

 years, with insufficient indication of their affinities. 



With a few exceptions, all the references have been checked by 

 comparison with the original works in the compiler's library, those 

 absent therefrom being marked with an f. An apparently new 

 type fixation is indicated by an *; while the fact that the figure 

 cited is from the typical specimen is indicated by a §. 



The abbreviations will, it is believed, be easily comprehended. 

 Two instances may be taken : 



Anthocorid^, genus 4, is " Lasiochiloides Champion, 1900, Bio 

 logia Central!- Americana, Heteroptera, ii, p. 311 — the only species 

 (therefore type) is dentieulatus Champion, and is figured on PI. 

 XIX, fig. 3." 



Mirid^, genus 4, is "Megn/odadylus Fiel)er, 1858, Wiener Ento- 

 mologische Monatschrift, ii, p. 317 — the only species (therefore 

 type) is Capsus macularuhra Mulsant & Rey, and the type species 

 is figured in Reuter, 1878, Acta Societatis Scient. Fennicse, xiii (pt. 

 1), PI. II, fig. 7. (Vol. XIII of this publication is paged continu- 

 ously, but "pt. 1," "pt. 2," or "pt. 3" is added, as the plates of each 

 tome are not similarly continuous.) 



Twelve families of Pagiopoda have been admitted, but with reluc- 

 tance aud only temporarily. The Anthocorid^e would not have 

 been separated from the Mirid^, had it not been that in that case 

 the Clinocorid.?i; and PolycteniDjE must have been added (the
