DISTANT—RHYNCHOTA. PART I: SUBORDER HETEROPTERA 149 
Loc. Seychelles. Silhouette: Mare aux Cochons ; swept from low vegetation, almost 
all on plateau of Mare aux Cochons, about 1000 feet (H. Scott). 
Family Lygeide. 
In my last enumeration of this family I was able to record 14 species from the 
Seychelles, of which only six had been received directly and eight recorded elsewhere. 
The present enumeration amounts to 23 species, including all those previously obtained 
by Prof. Gardiner with the exception of Nysiws cargadosensis, and those listed by 
Bergroth, excluding his Stilbocoris solivagus of which no example has been captured. 
Of the eight recorded elsewhere one has now been reduced as a synonym. 
Subfamily Lygeine.
