Records of Heteroptera from Brownsville, 

 Texas (Hemip.). 



By J. R. DE LA TORRE BUENO, White Plains, N. Y. 

 In 1906, Mr. H. G. Barber published a list of "Hemiptera 

 from southwestern Texas"* based on material collected in 1903 

 and 1904 by Mr. C. Schaeffer, in which were recorded a num- 

 ber of species new to the United States. Through Mr. George 

 Franck I came into possession this summer of a small lot of 

 Heteroptera collected by Mr. George Dorner in Brownsville, 

 Texas, the scene of the labors of Mr. Schaeffer and also of the 

 late Prof. F, H. Snow, of the University of Kansas. In going 

 over this lot, I was able to confirm the records of Buschistus 

 bifibulus P. B., Leploglossus phyllopus Linne, Acanthocephala 

 declivis Say, Largus convivus Stal, Jadcra acola Dallas, Cori- 

 zus sidae Fabr., Rasahus hamatus Fabr., R. biguttatus Say, 

 Pnirontis infirma Stal, P. languida Stal, and Repipta tanrus 

 Fabr. In addition to these, however, there were the twelve 

 species hereafter enumerated which have not been previously 

 recorded from that locality, seven of which are new to the 

 United States, so far as may be deduced from Banks' Cata- 

 logue and other sources, including Biologia Centralia Ameri- 

 cana. They follow with appropriate comment in each case. 



Euschistus crenator Fabr. 



This has been previously recorded from Texas by Stal, al- 

 though seemingly not taken in this exact locality. 



Brochymena haedula Stal. 



So far as known this species has not been recorded from as 

 far north as the United States. The published records give it 

 only for Guatemala and Mexico. 



Acanthocephala femorata Fabr. 



Does not seem to have been heretofore recorded from 

 Texas, although pretty widespread throughout the southeast 

 United States.
