RHYNCHOTA: 
By W. L. DISTANT. 
T he Hemiptera collected by Dr. Stoliczka, though not numerous, are interesting in the 
details of their geographical distribution, and conform, I believe, in that respect, to the 
other portions of the fauna of the districts traversed by the expedition. Two faunas are 
represented in the collection, one the Indian or Oriental, rather strongly by the insects 
collected at Murree, the remaining Hemiptera from the other localities being almost wholly 
Palsearctic. 
The following is the analysis of the portion of the collection obtained at Murree:— 
Balpada confusa, n. sp. 
- tecta, Walk. 
Palomena viridissima, Poda ,
