(6) Lygus, sp. ? 



Two specimens of a species of this widely distributed 

 genus. 



[None of these species can be described as at all abundant 

 on the atoll, and only Nezara viridula is commonly met with ; 

 the others are, for the most part, very seldom found. The 

 whole of the order collected on Christmas Island by Dr. 

 Andrews was not worked over at the time of publication of his 

 Monograph ; but of the four species described by Mr. Kirby, 

 there is not one that is common to Christmas Island and the 

 Cocos Keeling atoll. So far as I know, none of these species 

 has earned a distinct native name, but the domestic repre- 

 sentative of the family, Avhich is common in native houses, is 

 called Ixutu hasuk = ^tmkmg insect. — F. W. J,] 



Suborder Homoptera.
