The object of the present Gata^p^ae is -to. give a complete List of
all the genera and species of He'teropterous ,-Hemigtpra known to

* ■ \

exist in the collections of Europeaii and -American Entomologists.
The letters a, b, c, &c., afte'i^ie species, denote the specimens now
contained in the British MuSSum, ftdloW^ll^ByilJhe Juihitat and the
mode in which each of them was obtained ; and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and there-
fore desirable to be procured for the collection.

It may be a local variety of C. hamata, from which it hardly differs
except in the spines of the thorax, which are less recurved. In the
specimen described the right spine is longer and less obtuse than the left
spine.
