  The 
  Hawaiian 
  Hemiptera 
  are 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  they 
  

   are 
  represented 
  endemically 
  by 
  the 
  following 
  families 
  only, 
  viz: 
  

   Cimicidae, 
  (probably), 
  Lygaeidae, 
  Myodochidae, 
  Nabidae, 
  Red- 
  

   uviidae, 
  Anthocoridae, 
  Miridae, 
  and 
  Acanthiidae, 
  among 
  the 
  26 
  

   recognized 
  families 
  of 
  Heteroptera, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  Tetigoniidae, 
  Ful- 
  

   goridae, 
  Asiracidae 
  and 
  Chermidae 
  only, 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  14 
  Homopt- 
  

   erous 
  families: 
  that 
  is 
  to 
  say, 
  12 
  out 
  of 
  40. 
  These 
  figures, 
  however, 
  

   do 
  not 
  really 
  represent 
  the 
  true 
  constitution 
  of 
  the 
  Fauna, 
  as, 
  out 
  

   of 
  these 
  14, 
  only 
  6 
  are 
  represented 
  by 
  more 
  than 
  ten 
  species 
  each, 
  

   viz: 
  Myodochidae, 
  Nabidae, 
  Miridae, 
  and 
  the 
  first 
  three 
  Homop- 
  

   terous 
  Families, 
  (t) 
  

  

  The 
  absence 
  of 
  Cicadidae, 
  Cercopidae, 
  Aradidae, 
  Pyrrhocori- 
  

   dae, 
  Tingidae, 
  and 
  Gerridae, 
  so 
  well 
  developed 
  in 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  

   the 
  Pacific, 
  and 
  the 
  feeble 
  representation 
  of 
  the 
  mighty 
  Cimici- 
  

   dae, 
  Lygaeidae 
  and 
  Reduviidae, 
  show, 
  more 
  plainly 
  than 
  many 
  

   words, 
  the 
  real 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  Fauna. 
  

  

  The 
  leading 
  characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  Hawaiian 
  Hemiptera 
  is 
  their 
  

   tendency, 
  and 
  almost 
  complete 
  adaptation, 
  to 
  an 
  arboreal 
  life. 
  

   All, 
  or 
  practically 
  all, 
  the 
  Hawaiian 
  Asiracidae 
  — 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  

   important 
  families 
  numerically 
  — 
  are 
  arboreal, 
  a 
  phenomenon 
  

   otherwise 
  known, 
  so 
  far, 
  only 
  in 
  one 
  peculiar 
  Australian 
  genus, 
  

   Proterosydne 
  Kirkaldy. 
  Acmithia, 
  usually 
  a 
  riparian 
  genus, 
  has 
  

   one 
  species, 
  representing, 
  no 
  doubt, 
  the 
  ancestral 
  form, 
  inhabit 
  - 
  

  

  (X) 
  In 
  calculating, 
  I 
  have 
  taken 
  into 
  account 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  

   manuscript 
  species.
