Cimex militaris, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 717, n. 103 (1775). 

 Pour specimens, one immature. 



A widely distributed species througliout tlie Mediterranean 

 districts and the warmer parts of the Old World. 



E-EDUYIID^. 



Ecteichodia Akdeesoni, sp. n. 



Long. corp. 30 millim. 



Female. Black, the upper surface of the thorax, the front 

 angles and two spines on the scutellum, the base of the tegmina, 

 and the inside of the front tibise ruf o-testaceous. Thorax above 

 divided into four lobes by a deep cross filled up with black, but 

 tlie longitudinal groove not reaching to the extremity. Femora 

 with two small teeth beneath, one on each side, before tlie ex- 

 tremity, preceded by one or two smaller ones on the medial line, 

 smallest on the bind femora. 



A single specimen, which has lost its tarsi and most of its 

 antennae. It is allied to F. gigas, Herr.-Schaff., from Africa, but 

 the head and abdomen are entirely black, both above and below, 

 and the legs almost so ; and the thorax is much less coarsely 

 punctured than in JEJ. gigas. 



I have named this new species after Dr. Anderson, to whom 

 we are indebted for its discovery. 



A single immature specimen of a black species apparently allied 

 to Pirates, Burm., but with the tarsi only 2-jointed. 



There are also one or two broken and immature specimens of 

 ReduviidcB, not at present determinable, but apparently allied to 

 Conorhinus, Lap.
