SOME HEMIPTERA HETEROPTERA FROM N. W. BORNEO. 
armed, obtusely subangular anteriorly, antennae slender, longer 
than the body, first joint as long as head and pronotum together, 
second much shorter than first and a little longer than third, fourth 
a little longer than second, rostrum reaching anterior margin of 
metastemum, first joint reaching posterior margin of eyes, second 
much longer than third which is slightly shorter than fourth. Pro- 
notom somewhat broader than long, lateral margins straight, slightly 
raised, humeral angles obtuse-angled, a little acuminate at apex, 
scarcely prominent. Elytra almast reaching apex of abdomen. 
Metapleura? with straight posterior margin. Abdomen beneath 
finely alutaceous, impunctate, male genital segment with the 
rounded apical margin acute-angularly incised in the middle. 
Length, $ 11.5 mm. 
Kuching, Sarawak. 
Belongs to Stal’s group dd, from the other species of which 
it is very distinct in its small size, longer and quite differently 
constructed antennae, much shorter rostrum, and totally different 
structure of the male genital segment. 
Named in memory of the late R. Shelford to whom we owe 
so much of our knowledge of the Bornean fauna. 
Fam. MYODOCHIDAE. 
22. Pachygrontha semperi Stab— Lundu, Sarawak. 
Fam. REDtJVIIDAE. 
23. Panthous tarsatus Dist. — Kuching. 
24. Pygolampis foeda Stal. 
Kuching, Sadong, and Santubong, Sarawak. 
This species is distributed from Oevlon to Australia and the 
Fiji Islands, but was not previously recorded from Borneo. It is 
somewhat variable in colour and still more so in size, and I am 
convinced that P. biguttata Reut. is the same species. 
25. Sastrapada oxyptera n. sp. 
Narrow, ochraeeous, elytra whitish grey mottled with pale 
brown, a lateral band to head crossing eyes, the transverse veinlet 
separating the discal cell from the interior membranal cell, a small 
oblong spot near middle of exterior membranal cell, some more or 
less distinct longitudinal lines on pleurae and on ventral lateral 
areas, a band running through middle of sterna and venter, a small 
spot at apical angles of abdominal segments, spiracles, and a small 
basal sublateral spot to ventral segments dark fuscous; antennae, 
rostrum, and 1 legs ochraeeous, second antennal joint toward apex, 
third and fourth antennal joints, apex of rostrum, two rows of 
short streaks on upper side of front femora, under-side of these 
femora including the small spinelets, apex o>f tibiae, and tarsi fus-
