144 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 
Loc. Seychelles. Mahé, various localities. Silhouette: low country near sea, 
Grande Barbe, VIII. 1908. 
Allied to N. acuta Dall. but differing in the pronotal spinous angles which are 
shorter and more laterally directed, in acuta they are much longer, testaceous and 
forwardly directed ; the anterior lateral pronotal angles in spicata are a little longer and 
more prominent than in the corresponding angles in acuta. 
Bergroth in his enumeration of the Seychelles heteropterous fauna mistook this 
species for N. acuta Dall. and his record must therefore be deleted from faunistic 
catalogues. 
13. Nezara heegeri (Fieb.). 
Acrosternum heegeri Fieb., Eur. Hem., p. 331 (1861). 
Loc. Seychelles. Silhouette, near Mont Pot-d-eau, ca. 1500 feet, and Mare aux 
Cochons, over 1000 feet, VIII.—IX. 1908. Mahé, Cascade Estate, ca. 1000 feet, 1908—9. 
Aldabra, 1908—9 (Fryer). Assumption, 1908—9 (Fryer); 1910 (Dupont). 
A widely distributed species. Found in the Southern Paleearctic region and Canary 
Islands. In the Ethiopian region it is recorded from the Gold Coast, Congo area, and 
Madagascar. I also found it in Mansell Weale’s collection made in Natal. 
The Nezara emmerez described by Schouteden from Mauritius (Wien. ent. Zeit., 
xxiv. p. 52, 1905) from the description given also appears to be Fieber’s species. 
14. Menida transversa (Sign.) ? 
Rhaphigaster transversus Sign., Ann. Soc. Ent. France (3), vill. p. 936 (1861). 
A single specimen taken in Aldabra by Mr Fryer appears to generally conform to the 
description of the species described from Madagascar by Signoret, and which I have not 
seen.
