PRINTED FOR THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM: LONDON, 1868. LONDON: PA wires ey ~— SI afar KE. NEWMAN, PRINTER, DEVONSHIRE STREET, BIS PREFACE. THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete List of all the genera and species of Hemiptera Heteroptera known to exist in the collections of European and American Entomologists. The letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode in which each of them was obtained; and the absence of these /etters indicates the species which are desiderata, and there- fore desirable to be procured for the collection.
