Abstract
MR. DISTANT is making good progress with the description of the known species of Indian Rhynchota, and the editor informs us in his preface thatthe remainder of the volume will comprise all, or nearly all, the remaining families of the division Gymnocerata, thus leaving the bulk of the water-bugs for a third volume, which will complete the subject as far as the Heteroptera are concerned. The present instalment includes 371 species belonging to the families Lygaeidae, Pyrrhocoridae, Tingididae, Phymatidae, Arcedidse, Hebridse, Hydrometridae, Henicocephalidae, and the commencement of the Reduviidae. The letterpress is executed in the same careful manner as in the first volume, and is illustrated by 167 excellent text illustrations.
