Mr. W. L. Distant on Hemiptera from 
Cloresmus brevicornis , H.-S. 
Nematopus brevicornis , H.-S. W. ix. 261, f. 995 (1851). 
Previous writers, probably liaving never seen this species, 
have considered it synonymous with G. nepalensis , Hope. 
It is, however, very distinct from that species, agreeing both in 
colour, size, and markings with Herrich-Schaffer’s description 
and figure (the last does not show the apical joint of antenna 
luteous, as it should do). The armature of the posterior femora, 
however, is the most distinctive character. The collection 
contained both sexes. 
Cletomorpha denticulata , Stal. 
Cletomorpha denticulata, St&l, O. V. A. F. 1870, p. 652. 
Var. Agrees with the description of the Philippine form, 
with the exception of having a narrow fascia across thecorium, 
near apex, and not u maculaque parva rotundataad marginem 
apicalem prope angulum-interiorem pallidis.” 
Graptostethus trisignatus , n. sp. 
Red. Rostrum, antennae, eyes, a narrow transverse patch 
(divided into two in a second specimen) at base of head be¬ 
tween eyes, two large subglobular spots at base of pronotum, 
situated nearer to each other than to lateral borders (more irre¬ 
gular in shape in the second specimen), scutellum, membrane 
(excluding apical border), apical segment of abdomen, legs, and 
three spots on each lateral border of sternum (situated one on 
prosternum, one on mesosternum, and one on metasternum) 
black. Apical border of membrane whitish. The basal joint 
of the rostrum extends some little distance over the apex of 
the prosternum ; the second joint of the antennas is much 
longer than the third (fourth wanting) ; and the legs are 
clothed with whitish pile. 
Long. to 10 millims. 
Naga hills, 2000 to6000 feet; North Khasia hills, 1500 to 
3000 feet. 
Graptostethus quadrisignatus , n. sp. 
Red. Rostrum, antennas, eyes, apex of central lobe of the 
head, apical border of pronotum (broadest on disk, and not 
quite reaching lateral borders), a *«4-shaped fascia on each 
posterior pronotal angle, scutellum, membrane (excluding 
apical borders), disk of apical segment of abdomen, legs, and 
four spots on each lateral border of sternum (situated two on 
prosternum, one on mesosternum, and one on metasternum) 
black. Apical border of membrane whitish. The basal joint
