RHYNCHOTA :
BY W. L. D I S T A N T .

Herniptern collected by Dr. Stoliczka, though not numerous, are intereating in the
T HE
details of their geographical distribution, and conform, I believe, in t M rospvt, ta 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
Ydsearctic.
The following ia the analysis of the portion of the collection obtained at Murree :-
Dalpcrdo m+a, n. ep. . A genns belonging principally to the 1ndi.n region, extending to Java and the
Philippines, but r e p m n t e d also in Madag~rcar.

,, Palaezrrctic . 5

I n discussing the Indian relationship of the Hemipterous fauna, I have followed the sub-
regions or provinces of Mr. Blanford (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 4th Ser., Vol. 18, pp. 280-2,
1876). As regards the sub-regions of the Palsearctic area, I shall prefer to follow Mr. Sclater
(Address Biol. See. Brit. Assn., Bristol, 1876).
The following are the 13 species which are also found in the Cis-Atlantean or Mediter-
ranean sub-region :-
Zicronacmulea,Li. . . . . Kugiir, Esstero Turkeetan.
CarpocorL nigrdcornw, Fab. . . ---
DolycorM baccamm, Lin. . . . .. Sind Valley, Kashmir.
Xurydsma feativa, Lin. . . . Yangihisear, E. Turkestan.
Comploplcs lateralis, Germ. . . . Sind Valley, Kashmir.
Therapha hyoscyami, Lin. . . . . Kugiir.
Lyg. (&ilostethw) militoris, Fab. . . Murree, Punjub hills.
- sasatilis, Scop. . . Sind Valley, Kashmir.
-(Grapfolomus) equestrb, Lin. . . KugiAr aud neighbourhood of Slnjo, E. Turkertm.
Gonianotus marginepunctatus, Wolff. . Pimir road, Sarikol to Pmja.
Cwiscuo f e u # , Lin. . . . . . Yirknnd.
Notonectu glauca, Lin. . . . .-
Corisa genfroyi, Loach . . . .-
The following 4 species have been recorded from the sub-region of the Atlantic Islands,
principally from Madeira and Teneriffe :-
Dolycoria bacrarum, Lin. . . . . Sind Valley, Kaahmir.
Comnptop lateralis, Germ. . . . ---
Lyg. (Spilostethus)militaris, Fab. . . Murree, l'unjab hills.
Gonknotus marginepunctatus, Wolff. . . P h i r road, Sarikol to Panja
This list is, however, very poor and inadequate, owing to the little knowledge we yet p
sess as to the Hemiptera of the Atlantic Islands. It would be futile to carry the analysis of
this region further, owing to the paucity of record.

Head thickly covered with olivaceous pubescence, with a small black spot on vertex.
Antennse ochraceous, 1st joint longest, 2nd and 3rd shortest and subequal, 4th rather longer

lateral borders, and a central longitudinal line, olivaceous ; the last is testaceous on anterior

. portion of pronotum. Hemielytra brownish testaceous, with the n e m e a olivaceous. Un-

abdomen, which parts are ochraceous. Legs ochraceous, fore femora with an outer longi-

Haloboleu (1) orimlaliu, Dist., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., p. 136, 1879.

Brownish ochraceous, finely pilose. Antennse with the 1st joint curved, robust, and
about the length of head and pronotum together; remaining joints more slender, 2nd and
3rd subequal, 4th a little shorter than 3rd. Pronotum with a median pale longitudind line
and a large rounded fovea on posterior portion of disc. The rostrum is 6-jointed ; the first
two joints are very robust and somewhat fused together, the 2nd minute and much shorter
than the ht, the 3rd much the longest and rather less robust than 1st and 2nd, 4th small,
slender, and black, 6th ochreous, very slender a.nd hair-like, and rather shorter than 4th.
Sternum clothed with greyish pile.
The eyes are large, semi-globular, and castaneous, situated at base of lateral margins of
head. The pronotum is about the length of the head, but broader, truncate in front and
rounded behind ; mesonoturn and metanotum hardly distinguiahal.de, much longer than pro-

Long. 7 to 8 mill.

I have refrained for the present from making a new genus for the reception of this
species. It is in many respects allied to Halob~teeand cannot be included in the genus
Q&. The figures will show its anatomical peculiarities.

Too mutilated for determination.

I n his Hem. Af. 4 , pp. 82-83 (1866), the late Dr. Std. gave a " C q e c t w mbfamili-
mum" of his family " Jassida." I n that work he placed the genus Oqrhachis, Germ., in
his sub-fam. " Membracida," owing no doubt to the dilated fore tibise of the insects com-
prised in that genus. Subsequently, however, Ofv. vet. Ak. Forh., 1869, p. 280, he placed it
in his sub-fam. " Centrotida," adding " Coqectzls genermm, cmtrotidulm m d i antiqui--
vide Hem. Af ., IV, pp. 86-89." Although there is an error in this statement, the genus
Oxyrhachis clearly belongs to the Cmtrotida, in which I have placed it.

Hub.-Sind Valley, August 1873.

The types were from Java, N. China, and Celebes ; it is, however, a commonly received
Indian species.

The remaining specimens of Hornoptera contained in the collection, mostly somewhat

minute species, are so damaged by immersion in spirit as to be undeterminable and of
little value as museum-specimens. I should certainly pause before describing insects in this
condition, as colour is obliterated and good figurescould not be made. There are two smaU
species of Bicaainia and one of Nepk8a ; the rest call for little comment.
