SCIENTIFIC RESULTS 



THE SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 



RHYNCHOTA : 



BY W. L. DISTANT. 



THE Hemiptera collected by Dr. Stoliczka, though not numerous, are interesting in the 

 details of their geographical distribution, and conform, I believe, in that respect, to the 

 other portions of the fauna of the districts traversed by the expedition. Two faunas are 

 represented in the collection, one the Indian or Oriental, rather strongly by the insects 

 collected at Murree, the remaining Hemiptera from the other localities being almost wholly 

 Palsearctic. 



The following is the analysis of the portion of the collection obtained at Murree :
