On some Heteropterous Hemtptera from N. Carolina. 

 BY J. R. DE LA TORRE BUENO AND C. S. BRIMLEY. 



This preliminary list of Heteroptera is based on collections 

 made by C. S. Brimley, principally in the vicinity of Raleigh, 

 with an occasional trip to Lake Ellis in Craven County, where 

 the very interesting Naucorid noted later on appears to be 

 abundant. 



The classification employed is that of Schiodte* as modified 

 by Kirkaldy, f which may be regarded as the best expression 

 of the relationship of the families thus far propounded. 



The only synonymies given are such as serve to bring out 

 the difference between this and the older classification. 



It will be noted that certain of the families are not repre- 

 sented, while others not heretofore recorded from the United 

 States make their appearance. 



All the biological data are by the junior author. 



Division A. PAGIOPODA Schiodte. 

 Family CLINOCORIDyE Kirkaldy (= CIMICID^ Leth. and Serv.) . 



'Genus CLINOCORIS Fallen (= Cimex Anctt. =Acanthia Auctt.). 

 C. lectularius Linne. Not uncommon, although not represented in 

 the collections. 



Family OCHTER1DAE Kirkaldy (=rPELOGONIDAE Auctt.). 



Genus OCHTERUS Latreille (= Pelogonus Auctt.). 

 O. americanus Uhler. Raleigh, N. C., March 25, 1905. One specimen 

 found under a stone near the edge of a stream. 



Family NERTHRIDAE Kirkaldy (=GALGULIDAE Auctt. = 



GELASTOCORIDAE Kirkaldy). 

 Subfam. GELASTOCORINAE Kirkaldy (= GALGULINAE Auctt.). 



Genus GELASTOCORIS Kirkaldy (= Galgulus Auctt.). 

 G. oculatus Fabr. Raleigh, April 7, 1904, March 21, 24 and 25, 1905,

Apparently the commonest form near Raleigh. The speci- 

 mens before us are very well marked and cannot be mistaken
