l»y ll.-l^. Ilislant. 



The gênera and species described in this paper are wilh few 

 exceptions Oriental in distribution. Many are from the fine collec- 

 tion of Rrduviid.e made by Sign. Fea in Burma and adjacent 

 terrilory, a collection subinittod lo me for identification by D"" Gestro 

 of the Genoa Muséum. Thèse and other Indian species will be 

 subsequently included in my second volume on the Rhynchota of 

 British India (Blanfords' séries). 



Among items of interest may be mentioned a second eastern 

 species of the genus Dulicliius of Ihe family Coreid^. In the Lyg.eid.i: 

 an eastern species of the neotropical genus Salacia. Three new 

 gênera of Tingidide, and in Phymatid>e the description of a second 

 species of the genus Carcinodielis, this time from Bornéo, and a 

 species of Carcinocoris (hitlierlo only recorded from British India) 

 from the Island of Batchian. A new species of Henicocephalus 

 from Japan; in Reduviid.e an eastern species of the genus Diaditus 

 hilherto only known from the neotropical région; and a new genus 

 (allied to Conorhinus) from Samoa.
