Murgantia histrionica Hahn. This species was first recorded 

 from the State by the writer in 1912 (Ent. News, xxiv, 132, 1912), 

 but since that time, although careful search has been made in a 

 number of localities, other specimens have not come to light. 



Neottiglossa sulcifrons Stal. Not before recorded from Iowa. 

 One specimen from Chariton in the south central part of the State. 



Neottiglossa undata Say. Of this species Osborn says, "Not 

 common." The writer has many specimens from several localities, 

 thus indicating that it is at least fairly common. The following 

 field note will give some idea of its abundance at Ames: "7th July, 

 1913; this species (TV. undata'] very common along roadsides just 

 south of the West Side at Ames, Iowa. Collected 30 specimens 

 and as many more could easily have been secured * *." The 



species has also been taken on mullein. 



Chlorochroa persimilis Horv. Not before recorded from Iowa. 

 Apparently it is not abundant and is common only locally. 



Peribalus limbolarius Stal. This is the most common species of 

 Pentatomid found in the State. 



Solubea pugnax Fabr. This species has been taken only once, 

 September, Iowa City. 



Thyanta custator Fabr. We have found this pretty green species 

 in practically everyone of the thirty-four counties visited in the 

 State during the past summer. It seems most abundant in rank 

 growths of timothy and red clover. A number of specimens are 

 of a yellowish green or reddish brown color and in no case do 

 these specimens have the sanguineous band on the pronotum. 

 On many of the typically colored green specimens this band is 

 also lacking. 



Brochymena annulata Fabr. Not common; specimens at hand 

 from Iowa City only. 



Brochymena arborea Say. More common than the preceding 

 species; collected on wild crab apple. 



Brochymena quadripustulata Fabr. The most common species 

 of the genus, but it has not before been recorded from Iowa. On 

 one occasion it has been found hibernating under oak leaves at the 

 edge of a woods in early April. 



Subfamily GRAPHOSOMATINAE 



Podops cinctipes Say. Not common and found in but three 

 localities, Iowa City,. Davenport and Chariton, and all south of the 



center of the State. 



Subfamily ASOPINAE 



Apeteticus cynicus Say. Taken on wild cherry: east central 

 Iowa. 



Apeteticus maculiventris Say. A fairly common species in al- 

 most every locality.
