[communicated by professor HADDON.] 

 [Eead June 17, 1891.] 



While residing on ]!iiurray Island Professor Haddon collected a 

 number of insects of various Orders. The Lepidoptera have 

 already been enumerated (Proc. P. D. S., vol. vii., N. S., pt. i., p. 1). 

 I now give a list of the Rhynchota (Heteroptera), with de- 

 scriptions of some new forms. In addition to the ten species 

 taken on ]\Iurray Island, Professor Haddon has brought home 

 three species of Hydrometridse from Iktabuiag; a new Limno- 

 metra ; a new Halobates which he found very plentiful off the 

 coasts of that island ; and a minute insect found crawling on a 

 coral reef, for the reception of which I have to propose a new 

 genus. Of the Heteroptera from I^urray Island two appear to 

 be new ; so that, altogether, five of the thirteen species collected 

 by Professor Haddon have been hitherto unknown. 



Sub-order. — HETEROPTERA. 



Family.— PENTATOMID^. 



Genus. — Chrysocoris, Hahn. 



Chrysocoris coUaris (Wlk.). 



CalUdea coUaris, Walker, Cat. Het. Hemipt., Brit. IVIus., pt. i., 



p. 40. 



Twenty-one adults and four larvae of this species were taken on 

 IVEurray Island. They exhibit the variations noted by Walker,
