Family Correid^. 



Aufeius impressicoUis Stal. 



Large numbers, taken at Columbus by the junior writer while 

 sweeping grasses on the University farm. This seems to be the 

 first record of its occurrence east of the Mississippi river. In 

 the private collection of the senior writer, there is a good series

 all agree in structure. 



Anasa armigera Say. 



Many specimens, taken at Columbus by Mr. Haber; at Sugar

Catorhintha mendica Stal. 



Two specimens, taken at Columbus and at Cedar Point by
