175. Scipinia horrida, Stal. 



Pusa. ii-x-06. 



Chapra. 22-X-04.

176, Irantha consohrina, Dist. 



Pusa. i2-iii-07. 



Recorded from the Nilgiris only. 



In the Harpactorinae, our fauna has distinct affinities to that 

 of Assam and Burma, but is very limited; it suggests that only a 

 small number of forms really have passed on from Assam and 

 Eastern Bengal (Gangetic Plain, East) to our area, that we are the 

 extreme north-west limit of some forms and too far out of the moist 

 warm areas for manv more. 



Nabidin^. 



177. Prostemma carduelis, Dohrn. 



Pusa. i7-xii-04. 



Recorded from Ceylon and Burma. 



178. Prostemma flavomaculatum, I^eth. 



Pusa. 2i-xii-04. 

 Recorded from Burma. 



179, Nabis capsiformis , Germ. 



Pusa. 2i-i-09— iii-07 — i5-vii-o6 — 6-iv-07. 



Surat. i5-viii-04. 



Simla, x-07. 



Recorded from Bombay and Bor Ghat, and Burma. Also the 

 Palsearctic, Nearctic and Ethiopian regions. Avery abundant 

 species, which feeds on caterpillars. 



The Reduviid Fauna of Pusa and Chapra is small, with many 

 species not recorded which do occur in Eastern Bengal and Assam, 

 and with very few species known also from the Himalayan sub- 

 tropical areas' to the north. Until the Reduviid Fauna of the Punj ab 

 is known, it is not possible to contrast our fauna, but its affinities, 

 so far as can be seen, are with Eastern Bengal, Assam, Burma and 

 Malaya, far more than with that of vSub-Himalaya or the North- 

 west.
