Aquatic and semiaquatic Hemiptera bugs play significant ecological roles, and they are important indicators and pest control agents.  Little information is currently available concerning its populations in southern Assam.  This study assessed hemipterans in four sites of Sonebeel, the largest wetland in Assam (3458.12 ha at full storage level), situated in Karimganj District.  The major inflow and outflow of the wetland are the rivers Singla and Kachua, respectively (the Kachua drains into the Kushiyara River).  Samples were trapped with pond nets and were seasonally recorded.  This study recorded a total of 28 species of aquatic and semiaquatic hemipterans belonging to 20 genera under nine families.  Population, geographical and environmental data (e.g., rainfall) were used to assess the relative abundance of species, species richness and different diversity indices, and species distribution.

The diversity of the ‘Pselaphodes complex’ of genera from Asia remains fragmentally documented. Herein we describe fifteen new species of the genus Labomimus Sharp from China: L. assingi sp. nov. and L. dilatatus sp. nov. from Shaanxi, L. longnan sp. nov. and L. minshanus sp. nov. from Gansu, L. chouwenii sp. nov. from Taiwan, L. yue sp. nov. from Guangdong, L. howaichuni sp. nov. from Hong Kong, L. jinfomontis sp. nov. from Chongqing, L. niger sp. nov. from Sichuan, L. maolan sp. nov. from Guizhou, L. corpulentus sp. nov., L. dulongensis sp. nov., and L. wuchaoi sp. nov. from Yunnan, and L. medogensis sp. nov. and L. qiujianyuae sp. nov. from Xizang. A little known species, L. torticornis (Champion), originally described from Assam, northeastern India, is newly recorded in Yunnan, southwestern China. Illustrations of the habitus and major diagnostic characters of all treated species are provided. A checklist and a distributional map of world species are given.

Abstract This article studies two seismic decades in the history of the Garo community, marked out in colonial records as among the most violent and isolated people that British rule encountered in eastern and northeastern India. Through a densely knit historical narrative that hinges on an enquiry into the colonial reordering of the core elements of the regional political economy of eastern and northeastern India, it will train its focus on the figure of the rebellious Garo peasant and on the arresting display of Garo recalcitrance between 1807 and 1820. Reading a rich colonial archive closely and against the grain, the article will depart from extant historiography in its characterization of the colonial state in the early nineteenth century as well as of its relationship with ‘tribes’/‘peasants’ in eastern and northeastern India. A critique of the idea of primitive violence and the production of the ‘tribe’ under conditions of colonial modernity will occupy the latter half of the article. Here it will argue that the numerous and apparently disparate acts of headhunting, raids, plunder, and burning by the Garos on the lowlands of Bengal and Assam were in fact an assembling of the first of a series of sustained peasant rebellions in this part of colonial India—a powerful manifestation of a community's historical consciousness of the loss of its sovereign self under British rule.
