mingled with black hairs; the median segment is clothed with 
whitish pubescence on the surface of the truncation, and the scopa

hairs. Two females collected on Hermite Island, July 1912.”

Of other insects the Hemiptera were not well represented, the 
majority of forms being Homoptera. Two species of water-bugs 
were obtained from the Home Lagoon, Hermite, one closely 
resembling Hermatobatodes marche: Coutiére et Martin (Bull, 
Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, vii. 1907, p. 214) and the other Halobates 
wulterstorfii (Frauenf.)* ; both appear to have points of specific 
difference. 
MYRIAPODA. 
Identified by Professor K. Kraepelin. 
The species are all forms found upon the West Australian 
mainland, though one is apparently an insular variety. The 
specimens were largely collected from under stones during the 
daytime, but some were found running about in the sand by the 
aid of a lantern at night. 
1. RHOMBOCEPHALUS L&TUS Haase. 
Scolopendra leta Haase, Abh. Mus. Dresden, No. 5, p. 51, 
pl. iii. fig. 51 (1887). 
Recorded from Western Australia and New South Wales. 
Fairly numerous on Hermite. 
2. RHoMBOCEPHALUS MoRSITANS (Linn.). 
(Scolopendra morsitans Linn.) 
Probably imported from Asia by way of the mainland, where 
it is now established. ‘The species is now almost universally 
distributed in the warmer parts of the world.
