356 A CATALOGUE OF THE HEMIPTERA OF FIJI, 



35. Ninus stylatus, sp.nov. 



It is difficult to separate this from Stal's meagre description of 

 IT. insignis, but the general colour is much darker ferruginous, 

 and there is generally a basal (sometimes an apical also) dark 

 fuscous transverse vitta on the pronotum. The fourth segment 

 of the antennae is fuscous. The eyes are very distinctly stylate 

 and turn a little upwards. The antennae are much more slender 

 (as regards the last three segments), the second being slightly 

 clavate apically. Length 4-4J mill. 



Rewa (March- April; Muir, No. 30); Ba (January; Muir); 

 Navua (February; Muir); common on Saccharum officinarum.* 



36. N.f?) subsessilis," sp.nov. 



The colour and pattern are almost exactly like those of iV. 

 stylatus, except that there is no extero-lateral spot on the corium, 

 and the apical margin of the corium is yellowish. The eyes, 

 although exserted, are not stylated. 



(J. Sternites brownish-yellow, with a dark fuscous lateral stripe. 



Q. Sternites brownish-yellow. 



Length 4 mill. 



Rewa (February; Muir); Navua (February; Muir); Muir's Nos. 

 115 and 124, on native fern; Suva (March; Koebele). 



37. Ontiscus vitiensis, sp.nov. (Plate iv., fig.7). 



Closely allied to 0. australis, but the first two segments of the 

 antennae are concolorous with the head (i.e., dark ferruginous), 

 the others more dilute; there is a dark fuscous speck at the apex 

 of the clavus and another on the apical margin of the corium. 

 Membrane not fuscously veined. Legs yellowish. Head scarcely 

 narrowed behind. Third segment of labium distinctly shorter 

 than the first or second. Antennae 12, 15, 11, 17, the fourth 

 scarcely incrassate. Length, <££ 5 mill. 



Rewa (April and December; Muir); Ba (January; Muir). 



* Dr. Bergroth informs me (in Utt.) that he thinks, from my description, 

 to him, that this belongs to the genus Breddin, the description of 



which, however, I have not seen.
