from the I 'al.'K'arclic rc^i(tn makes it possiljlc to add nine sj)ccic's to the hst of 

 forms common to l)otli regions. Dr. Ilorwath ( 1908)-, in the most important 

 contribution on this subject, recor^is twenty-seven species of Miridae as common 

 to ])oth I'alaearctic and Nearctic regions. ( )ne of these. Lxi/us I'iridis, the pres 

 ent writer ( \()\jh)-^ has shown to l)e (hlTerent from -c'irldis Fallen, and described 

 iIk' form as /,\'(///\ iiliii. 



in a previous contribution the writer ( \()iyci)'' recorded three species new 

 to the Xearctie r(.\^"ion. <^ave deliuite records for two species refjarded as doulit- 

 ful and indicated that \ rohatliyiiot us iiunlcstiis W'irtner was in reality Hotliy- 

 iialiis pilosns (IJoheman). The latter opinion has recently been shared by Dr. 

 IJergroth ( 1020)'' in a paper where N. iitodcsl us W'irtner is placed as a synonym 

 of Botliyuofiis /^ihisus (lloheman), and the species recorded as representins»" 

 a division of tlic sul)iamily Cylaj)inae. 



Of the Palaearctic species recorded from North America a few appear 

 verv doubtful and re((uire ^•erii^cation. It has been possible to trace some of 

 the doubtful forms but others are recorded without exact records of speci- 

 mens, thus it is impossible at the present time to check the dc'terminations. 

 Records for Cyllccoris hislrioiiicus (Linn.), (ilobiccf^s fhrz'diuacithitus ( Fabr. ) , 

 and Macrotylus licrrichi ( Ixeut. ) certainlv re(|uire verification. Orthotylus 

 ilid/^luiuus ( k'irsch. ) was reC(tr(led 1)\' Tucker (11)07)'' **'"' t'''^' authority of ;i 

 doubtful determination b\- 1 leidemann. ( )ne of these specimens ( 6 June. 

 Lawrence, Kans. Jv ,S. Tucker) stands in the Heideniann collection with a 

 determination label b\- that author which reads "probl. Orthot\liis diaplunius 

 Kirsch." This form is smaller and has dilterent genital claspers from dhipJi- 

 auus Kirschbanm, ;is determined and figured by Renter (iScSj)'''. The Tucker 

 si)ecimen is most clost'I\- related to transluccus Tucker, but smaller and evi- 

 (U'nt]\- undescril)ed. 



An examination of luiropean examples of Rcutcria luarqucli Luton 

 ruid comi)arison ot the genital claspers with those of Rculcria irrorata ( Sa_\' ) 

 demonstrates that the two species are not identical. Records for ())ic()t\h<s 

 f^uiicfipcs Retiter trom North America as based on identifications b\' \'an 

 J)uzee and lleidmann, and examined 1)\' the writer, refer to Flaf/iogiiatlius cliry- 

 saiitliciui (Wolff). The writer has previously shown that our records for 

 M ccoiiiiua itiuhulaus { b'allen ) refer to Mcciniiiua (jllrif^cs ( v^tal ) . and the records 

 tor (Jrlhoccf^lnihis sullatar (flahn) ma\- be relerred to Irhisia sp. and perhaps in 

 part to OrtJioccpJiaUis luuUihilis (b'allen). 



'Lhe i)resent writer is able to account for forty-eight sjjccies of Miridae 

 which are common to both Nearctic and I'alaearctic regions, but ot this number 

 he has not seen Bidliyuiil its pihisits ( Loheman ) ;uid .1 pocrciuiius ■j'uriahilis
