INTRODUCTION.

The principal object of the present Catalogue has been to
give a complete list of the specimens of Homopteroiis Insects
contained in the collection of the British Musemn, indicating
at the same time the pecoharities of each, as regards variation
of character, locality, and the som-ce from whence it has been
derived. With this \iew, the different indi\iduals of each
species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters a,
h, c, &c., following the name of the species and its synonymes,
and the description, if it appeared to have been before im-
described.

This part of the Catalogue of Homopterous Insects has
been prepared and the new species described by Mr. Feancis
Walker, so well known for liis attention to this order of
Insects.

The two remaining parts are in hand, and >vill follow as soon
as they can be completed.
