94. Graptostethus trisignatus , Dist. 



Pusa. 26-iii-o5. 



Jorhat. 



The Fauna gives Naga and North Khasi Hills, and Burma. 



95. Graptostethus maculatus, Dall. 



Pusa. 28-ix-05 — 2-ii-05 — T3-iii-05. 



The Fauna records North India and Narkanda. 



96. Aspilocoryphus guttiger, Dall, 



Pusa. 19-V-06 — i3-iii-o6. 

 North Bengal is the only record. 



97. Nysius minor , Dist. 



Pusa. — Common at all times. 



This is a species described since the Fauna volume. I am not 

 prepared to recognise any other species in Pusa though Mr. Distant 

 might and Mr. Kirkaldy presumably would find several. I believe 

 that food plants and perhaps climate influence this species like all 

 others, and I am extremely surprised a new species should be made 

 of our form. My own feeling is that long series from different 

 places and collected at different times will, in this genus, reduce 

 the now existing six Indian species to fewer. Nysius, as a genus, 

 is distinct enough; its species are not, but the genus is widespread 

 in India, both in the plains and to such elevations as 7,000 feet as 

 at Simla. I have omitted all records except Pusa as I cannot 

 satisfactorily place our other forms among the six described species. 



If any sub-family should give us data, it is this, as its members 

 are those most likely to have been collected ; we have not found 

 Graptostethus argentatus, Fabr., nor G. dixoni, Dist., though we 

 have the latter from several places in Central India, East. Several 

 North Indian species, such as Ccenocoris, are not found and our 

 fauna appears to be from Assam or Burma, as in the previous 

 families. 



Cymin^.

Pusa. ig-vii-oS.

 It is an inconspicuous insect, probably not confined to Bengal.
