X. — Descriptions of new Species and Genera of the Bete- 

 ropterous Family Reduviidre from British India. By

I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. E. A. Butler for sub- 

 mitting for examination another collection of this family

 Dr. T. V. Campbell in Southern India. The types of all the 

 species are now in the collection of the British Museum.
