LIBRARY PRINTED BY RICHARD TAYLOR, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. MAIN LIBRARY AGRJC. • INTRODUCTION. THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to give a complete list of the Specimens of Hemipterous In- sects contained in the Collection of the British Museum, indicating at the same time the peculiarities of each, as re- gards variation of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been derived. With this view, the different individuals of each species contained in the Collection are indicated by the letters «, 6, c, &c., following the name of the species and its synonyms, and the description, if it ap- peared to have been before undescribed. This part of the Catalogue of Hemipterous Insects has been prepared, and the new species described, by Mr. W. S. DALLAS, so well known for his attention to this Order of Insects. The more interesting of the new genera are figured in the Plates at the end of the Catalogue. The remaining Parts are in hand, and will follow as soon as they can be completed. JOHN EDWARD GRAY.

The head in addition to the central longi- tudinal line has a small black spot on each side in front of the ocelli. The black spots occupy more of the surface than in C. marginella, and are arranged in precisely the same manner; namely, nine on the prothorax, of which three small ones at the anterior margin, one in each lateral angle and four large ob- long ones on the disc towards the posterior margin ; eight on the scutellum, placed, two, close to the base, forming an inter- *£0 HEMIPTERA. rupted transverse band, a somewhat triangular one on centre of disc, one on each side of this, two behind the middle and one close to the apex. Abdomen yellow, with the margin crimson ; stigmata black, with a row of golden green spots within them, and within these another row of black ones ; a black patch at base and apex of abdomen.

The genus Canopus, established by Fabricius in the ' Systema Ryngotorum/ is founded upon the larva of some insect belonging to this family, and most probably, as was kindly pointed out to me by Mr. Westwood, to the genus Chlcenocoris, which indeed is the only genus in the family which inhabits America. Burmeister has described two species, which are really only distinguished from one another by a dif- ference in size. The synonymy of the genus is as follows : — Genus CANOPUS. Canopus, Fab. Syst.
