HEMIPTERA COLLECTED AT BASLOW, 
DERBYSHIRE.

Tue only published list of Derbyshire Hemiptera, so far as 
I am aware, is the exceedingly poor one given in the Victoria 
History of the County (1905). This list comprises some 29 
species only, and as the majority of these were collected at 
Burton-on-Trent, which is in Staffordshire, the number of 
species undoubtedly taken in Derbyshire is reduced to about 
ten. The following list, the result of casual collecting during 
a short visit to the county, will serve as a first attempt towards 
a better knowledge of the Hemipterous fauna of Derbyshire. 
Last year (1915) I spent the first ten days in August at 
Baslow, and—when the weather permitted—did a little col- 
lecting in the grounds of the ‘ Grand Hotel,’ and on the moor 
(Eaglestone Flat) immediately above it, as well as on the 
banks of the stream running alongside the Sheffield road in 
immediate proximity to the village. With the exception of 
the Calver records all the specimens were obtained within 
a radius of about a mile from the Hotel. Calver is about 
two miles away. 
The number of species collected was 83—31 Heteroptera 
and 52 Homoptera, but with better weather and more system- 
atic work the total would no doubt have been largely increased. 
All the Heteroptera were submitted to Mr. E. A. Butler, and 
all but the commonest of the Homoptera were determined 
by Mr. J. Edwards. The most noteworthy species taken were 
Acocephalus tricinctus and A. trifasciatus: both sexes of each 
of these were obtained by searching under heather on the 
edge of the Eaglestone Flat.
