il) lu conformity with the Comstock-Needham nomenclature ot' the venation 

 the outer veiu of the corium must be called Radius, the inuer veiu Cubitus. 

 The mediau veiu (Media) is absent or irregularly developed iu the Het-roptera. 

 The aual veiu is placed iu the clavus, but is ofteu absent. lu the Miridae the 

 aual veiu is présent in soiue groups aud absent in others, but even if absent in 

 the clavus it is always présent in the membrane, where it runs from the inuer 

 basai angle of the inner cell to very near the inuer margiu, which it follows 

 more or less closely for some distance, rarely (as in the Indian genus Siipinnius 

 Dist ) strougly deviating from the margin and running near the middle of the 

 membrane to near its apex. It is a curious factthat the anal veiu of the Mirid 

 membrane has hitherto been overlooked by ail hemipterists.
