HEMIPTERA

Apart from the Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, the insects of Bucking- hamshire seem to have been almost entirely neglected. While however I was compiling the list of the Coleoptera I received a few notices of Hemiptera from Mr. E. C. Elliman, Mr. Philip Harwood and Mr. H. Turner, and also some undetermined species which I have named and added to the list. It is perhaps hardly worth publishing, but it contains a few interesting species, and serves to show what will probably be obtained by any one who hereafter may work the county for this order.
