PREFACE.
THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete List ot all the genera and species of Heteropterous Hemiptera known to exist in the collections of European and American Entomologists. The letters a, 6, 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. J. E. GRAY.

Head conical, little more than one-third of the breadth of the thorax, rounded, and hardly narrower in front; lobes of equal length. Rostrum with a black tip. An- tenn tawny, more than half the length of the body ; first joint hardly ex- tending beyond the front of the head; second, third and fourth of nearly equal length; fourth black, tawny towards the tip ; fifth black, longer than the fourth. Thorax with an irregular abbreviated black band near the fore border; a pale testaceous line along each side, not extending to the rather prominent hind angle ; fore border less than half the breadth of the hind border, Scutellum with four pale yellow dots on the fore border, bordered with pale yellow at its tip, extending somewhat beyond the middle of the abdomen. Pectus witb an irregular blackish stripe on each side. Abdomen with black lateral spots; under side with five lines of black points. Femora with a blackish irregular subapical band; tarsi and tips of the tibiz blackish. Fore wings with a cinereous membraue which extends a little beyond the tip of the abdomen.
