HEMIPTEEA. 



the Bast Indies need not admit of doubt : the same kind is mentioned as a native of 

 Sierra Leone by Fabrichis, perhaps without sufficient authority." — Donovan.

 berg, or the real papillosus of Drury. The African species, described by Pabricius 

 under the latter name, is totally distinct. See my observations on this insect, in the 

 second edition of Drun/s Illustrations, vol. 2, p. 91.
