 in wet meadows on grasses. 



Sub-family ALYDINJ?. 



ALYDUS Fab. 



A. urinus Say. Throughout the State VI-IX; everywhere common. 



A. pilosulus H. S. With the preceding, but less common. "These two 

 species are commonly found in patches of clover in meadows or in 

 bush clover." (Bno). 



A. quinquespinosus Say. Throughout the State VI-IX.

Sub-family CORIZIN^. 



HARMOSTES Burm. 



H. refiexulus Stal. Common throughout the State all season. The 

 "fraterculus" of previous edition also belongs here. 



CORIZUS Fall. 



C. crassicornis Linn, (novaeboracensis Sign.) Chester IX, 5 (Coll). 



C. lateral is Say. Common throughout the State, late VI until winter, and 

 again until late next V. All records of other species in previous list 

 should in all probability refer here. C. sidae Fab. has never been 

 authentically recorded north of Maryland (fide Hambleton), and 

 should not be included in any lists from the middle States (Bno). 



C. nigristernum Sign. Is recorded from New York and Pennsylvania and 

 certainly occurs in New Jersey. 



Sub-family BERYTIN^. 



These are the "stilt-bugs"; long, slender species with thin, thread-like 

 legs and antenna. The thighs and feelers are clubbed, and, altogether, 

 the insects have a peculiar spidery appearance. They are plant feeders, 

 but of no economic importance.
