XXVI. An Enumeration of the Rhynchota collected during 
the Expedition of the British Ornithologists’ 
Union to Central Dutch New Guinea. By W. L 
DISTANT. 
[Read October 4th, 1911.] 
PLATE XLIX. 
THE collection of Rhynchota brought home by this 
expedition consists of fifty species, of which ten are 
described as new, while it has been found necessary 
to propose three new genera. In 1888, and in the 
Transactions of this Society, I had the pleasure to give 
the results of an examination of the Rhynchota collected 
by Mr. Sayer during Mr. Cuthbertson’s expedition to New 
Guinea. The number of species than obtained was forty- 
eight, so that the results of the present expedition, in 
the face of many hindrances, is in a Rhynchotal sense not 
unsatisfactory. It is at the same time far indeed from 
being exhaustive, and only affords a sample of the 
material which we may expect as the result of another 
expedition: under more fortunate circumstances. 
The species here enumerated were all collected by 
Mr. A. P. R. Wollaston, and on the banks of the Mimika 
and Wataikwa Rivers.
