DISTANT—RHYNCHOTA. PART I: SUBORDER HETEROPTERA Loe 
Loc. Seychelles. Silhouette, VIII. 1908. Previously recorded from Mahé. Found 
also in South and East Africa, Madagascar, and Réunion. 
Subfamily Acanthaspidine. 
85*. Conorhinus rubrofasciatus (de Geer). 
Cimex rubrofasciatus de Geer, Mém., ili. p. 349, t. 35, fig. 12 (1778). 
Loc. Seychelles (no particular locality given), R. P. Dupont and J. A. de Gaye. 
As previously stated, outside the Palearctic region this species is very widely 
distributed. 
Subfamily Echtrichodiine. 
QUINSSYANA, gen. nov.* 
Subelongate; head broad, scarcely extending beyond anterior margins of eyes, 
anterior margin with a short central porrect spinous prolongation, sharply transversely 
constricted behind eyes, from which to base it is moderately convexly gibbous both above 
and beneath, the base distinctly constricted; antennee five-jointed, longly pilose, first jomt 
much longer than head; rostrum short, first and second joints subequal in length; pro- 
notum twice broader at base than the anterior margin, transversely constricted before 
middle, the anterior lobe narrow, convexly raised, centrally foveate, the posterior lobe 
longer than anterior, strongly convexly raised, strongly foveate near its anterior margin, 
the posterior angles rounded and subprominent inwardly determinated by a sharp longitu- 
dinal constriction; scutellum with the lateral and posterior margins sharply ridged, the 
apical spinous angulations prominent and very slightly curved; corium considerably shorter 
than membrane which is long and apically a little widened, its apical margin convexly 
rounded; legs moderately slender, femora more or less thickened, anterior tibize distinctly 
dilated at apices. Structure of abdomen beneath concealed in the carded specimens from 
which this diagnosis is taken. 
Allied to Antiopula Bergr. (Antiopa Stal n. preoce.), differmg in the five-jointed 
antennee, first joint longer than head which is more truncate anteriorly. 
86. Quinssyana typrcalis, sp. n. (Plate 12, fig. 6). 
Head, pronotum and scutellum shining black; basal constriction to head, anterior 
margin of pronotum, posterior margin and apical spinous angulations to scutellum, 
pale ochraceous; corium brownish-ochraceous, paler at base; membrane pale piceous; 
legs and rostrum ochraceous, femora moderately infuscated at apices; antennz with 
the first, second and third joints piceous, fourth and fifth pale ochraceous, first and 
second subequal in length, third, fourth and fifth much shorter and also subequal ; femora 
slightly thickened, anterior tibize moderately inwardly dilated at apices. Other structural 
characters as in generic diagnosis. 
* Named after M. Le Queau de Quinssy, an old administrator of the islands, whose tomb still stands in 
the Government House garden at Mahé.
