ON SOUTH AFKICAN TINGIDID^ AND OTHEE 

 HETEEOPTEEOUS EHYNCHOTA. 



(Plate VIII.) 

 By W. L. Distant. 



Since publishing my jfirst paper on these insects ''' I have received 

 considerable more material, and am thus able to increase our know- 

 ledge of the Ethiopian Tingids. The present communication refers 

 exclusively to South African genera and species, and I hope soon 

 to largely supplement this enumeration. Some generic division has 

 been made, and greater generic division is doubtless still necessary 

 for some of the earlier described species. The described non- 

 Palsearctic species of Africa, excluding also those of Madagascar 

 and the other African islands, I previously enumerated as 26 species 

 distributed in, 12 genera, the present paper brings up the list to 40' 

 species contained in 21 genera.

 that paper "African Tingidldcc'''' as of course referring only to the Ethiopian 

 region, in a similar interpretation to Stal's "Hemiptera Afiieana," Shelley's " Birds 

 of Africa," &c,.
