HEMIPTERA HETEROPTERA 



Bugs 



In the following list 298 species of Heteroptera are recorded as 

 having occurred in Sussex. This is equivalent to nearly 66 per cent of 

 the known British species. Only two are peculiar to the county, viz. 

 Peritrechus gracUicornis, which is recorded by Mr. J. W. Douglas from 

 Hastings, and Monanthia angustata, which Mr. E. Saunders discovered at 

 Cissbury near Worthing. The localities given lie almost wholly in the 

 extreme east and the south-west of Sussex ; the meagreness of the records 

 from the central parts is accounted for by the paucity of workers in this 

 order. Where the Hastings district is quoted, it is implied that the 

 species referred to is generally distributed in that part of the county 

 which lies south of a line joining Etchingham and Heathfield, and east 

 of a line from Heathfield to the coast midway between Bexhill and 

 Pevensey. Similarly, the Bognor district means the south-western corner 

 from Chichester to Littlehampton, and thence northward to Burpham, 

 Madehurst and Cocking. By the great extension of some of the coast 

 towns in recent years, several localities, which were once well stocked 

 with insects, are now either built upon or cultivated, and the distribu* 

 tion of some local species has been modified accordingly. For example, 

 Henestaris laticeps was, not many years ago, abundant all along the top 

 of the cliff to the west of what was then the village of Bexhill. Its 

 haunt has been destroyed by the foundation of the esplanade of this 

 rapidly developing seaside resort, and one small colony farther to the
