Cuspicona antica, Voll. Vers!. Akad. Wet. Amst., Nat. (2) ii, 

 p. 188 (1868). 



Vollenhoven recorded this species as from " Hindostan." I 

 have no corroboration of this habitat and only possess the species 

 from the Malay Peninsula. 



Cuspicona curtispina, Stfil {Hoffinanse(j(jiella), Stett. ent. Zeit. 

 xxii, p. 144 (1861). 



Recorded by Atkinson (J. A. S. B. 1888, p. 148) as from 

 " Burma (?)." A Javan species only according to present 

 knowledge, 



Cuspicona virescens, Dall. List Hem. i, p. 296 (1851). 



Recorded by Atkinson {loc. cit.) as from Burma. I can fiud 

 no confirmation for the habitat. Pound in Java.

Westvvood gave the habitat of this species as " Gambia." Stfil 

 (En. Hem. v, p. 126, 1876) transcribed the locality erroneously 

 as " Bengalia ; " and Atkinson following tStal (J. A. 8. B. 188S, 

 p. 161) added the species as of "doubtful position" to those 

 included in his enumeration of Indian Rhynchota.

The typical and only specimen of this sjjecies which I have seen 

 is in a bad condition with the rostrum wholly absent. Generic 

 identification is impossible till other specimens are obtained. It 

 was recorded as " Habitat in Bengalia." 



Mormidea nigriceps, Walk. Cat. Hat. iii, p. 554 (1868). 



The type of this species — recorded as from Hindostan — is in 

 the Melbourne National Museum. Nothing is known of it in this 

 country. The genus Mormidea is not found in India and the 

 species is probably known under another name.
