Stenodema virens (Linnaeus).

 1908 atenodema virens Horvath, Ann. Mus. Natl. Hung., vi, p. 5. 

 1917 Stenodema virens Van Duzee, Cat. Hemip., p. 304. 



This species was first recorded from America by liorvath ( iyo8j btit 

 withottt definite locality. Van Duzee {njij) was unable to add anything re- 

 yarding the distribution. Since receiving European specimens of z'irens for 

 comparison, the writer has gone over the available material in the genus Steno- 

 dema and desires to record the following observations. Both the typical virens 

 and the variety testaeenm are represented.

The writer is (juite convinced that Miris instabilis Uhler (1873) should 

 be referred to virens Linnaeus rather than to Stenodema ■i'iei)ium (Provan- 

 cher). This view is supported by the fact that the original description and figure 

 given by LUiler. fit virens Linnaeus more closely than is true of vieinnm Prov- 

 ancher. To this it may be added that no specimens of Sienudema vieinum 

 ( l*rovancher j have been seen which came from Colorado, while -<'irens is ap- 

 ])arently rather common. 



Orthoeeplmlns mntabilis (Fallen) — .\t Ithaca. Xew York, during the 

 last week of June and the first week of July, 1920. the writer took several 

 more specimens of this species, finding them on ox-eye daisy {Chrysanthemum 

 leueanfhennun) in comj)any with Ph}(/io(/)ialhiis ehrysanlhemi WollY. Miifabilis 

 was found most abundant on the Cornell University campus and farm land 

 belonging to the College of Agriculture. Mr. J. L. Frank took one specimen 

 Tulv 4, at Oweyo. New ^'ork.
