On Hemiptera Heteroptera from Japan.

The bounding-line, or rather the Hues bridging the openings (a), 

 we contend ought not to have been introduced. 

 Fig. 7. Same, as the " nummuline wall " really occurs, there being nothing 

 in specimens, as will be seen in fig. 5, to show that the openings 

 (a, fig. 6) were ever filled with calcite (according to the " eozoic 

 doctrine " the part is a " calcareous lamella ") : on the contrary, 

 they were always filled with serpentine. 



XXXV. — On a Collection of Hemiptera Heteroptera from 

 Japan. Descriptions of various new Genera and Sp>ecies. 

 By John Scott. 



Not the least interesting amongst the many novelties obtained 

 by Mr. George Lewis in Japan are the Hemiptera, which I 

 have had the pleasure of examining ; and although the major 

 part of the collection contains many well-known forms, some 

 of which are European, on the other hand there are several 

 possessing peculiar characters. These last are all entirely 

 new to science ; and their description forms a portion of the 

 present paper. Subjoined I give a complete list, showing 

 which genera and species are new and which have been pre- 

 viously described.

in Japan. 



Those species with an asterisk (*) in front are found in England. 

 Those species with an obelisk (t) occur on the continent of Europe, but 

 are not known to be British.
