RHYNCHOTA OF CENTRAL AMERICA. 



Since I completed my contribution on the Heteroptera 

 to the " Biologia Centrali Americana" in 1893, other 

 species from that large and interesting region have 

 been received, and principally from my friend Prof. 

 P. Biolley in Costa Rica. Some of these were new 

 species and are Jiere described, and I have also added 

 references to species described elsewhere since I completed 

 my allotted task, so as to bring up to date our knowledge 

 of the Central American fauna. I have also added the 

 descriptions of some Homoptera in the families which 

 Canon Fowler has undertaken to describe, and which he 

 has — so far as his material was available — brouglit to a 

 termination in the same pages. I hope from time to time 

 as material arrives to supplement the vast information 

 already contained in the " Biologia Centrali Americana," 

 which has ah'eady secured the ptjsition of tlie greatest 

 faunistic work yet published.
