The Capsid fauna is very inadequately known, compared with 

 other families, but is a distinct one from that of sub-tropical locali- 

 ties; for instance the very abundant DercBocoris of the Himalayas 

 which are there quite common, are in Pusa wholly absent. Our 

 Capsid fauna is probably distinct, being found on grass and on 

 plants to which each species is more or less definitely confined. 

 The Capsidge, more than all other Heteroptera, are very insuffi- 

 ciently known all over India.
