CUMBERLAND HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
F. H. DAY, F.E.S. 
THERE are very few published records of these insects from 
Cumberland. In Saunders’ ‘ Hemiptera-Heteroptera of the 
British Isles’ only two or three species are mentioned for the 
county, the most noteworthy being Peribalus vernalis, Wolff. 
There are few records in the entomological magazines. Mr. 
James Murray has recorded some of his. captures in the Ev#. 
Mon. Mag. during the last few months. In the ‘ Victoria 
History of Cumberland’ I gave a list of 77 species which had 
been hurriedly collected for the purposes of that work. That 
Was 10 years ago, since when, as a result of some rather desultory 
collecting, the list has been increased to 173 Species. witeseerms 
desirable, therefore, to publish present Ipod as it stands 
to serve as a foundation for a county list. 
As in the compilation of other lists of Cumberland insects, 
I have had the assistance of my friends, Messrs. H. Britten, 
J. Murray and G. B. Routledge. I am also much indebted 
to Messrs. E. A. Butler and E. A. Newbery for help in deter- 
mining and verifying many species. 
Where no localities are given after a species it is one of 
common and general distribution. 
Localities Without the name of an authority are based on 
my own observations.
