HEMIPTERA— HETEROPTERA. 161 



wMch. vast area, according to Horvath, it is an autochthonous species. In New 

 Guinea it is found only in the dweUings of Europeans, Chinese and Malays, and 

 has probably been introduced within historic times. In the Antilles and Brazil 

 C. hemipterus occurs only locally, and Horvath has suggested that it was introduced 

 into America during the negro slave-trade period. 



Recorded from New Hebrides by Buxton and Hopkins, and apparently 

 replaced in Hawaii by C. lectularius L.
