LIST OF HKMIPTERA TAKEN BY \V. J. PALMER, ABOUT 



QUINZE LAKE, P. QUE., IN 1907. 



BY E. P. VAN DUZEE, BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Once more I am indebted to Mr. W. J. Palmer, of Buffalo, for a very 

 interesting series of Hemiptera, taken by him in August, 1907, on a vaca- 

 tion trip from Lake Temagami, Ont., to Quinze Lake, P. Q., and along 

 the Ottawa River and its lakes to Barrier Lake. This collection is much 

 more extensive than that made by him in 1906, notes on which were pub- 

 lished by me in the Canadian Entomologist for December, 1906. 

 Among the 116 species taken in 1907, were several of unusual interest, 

 such as Corythiica inciirva^ Uhler ; Neoborus Palmeri, Reuter ; N. comniis- 

 suralis^ Reuter ; Ceresa Palmeri^ Van Duzee ; Aphrophora Signoreti, 

 Fitch ; Platymetopius obscurus, Osborn ; Thanuwtettix fiavovirens, G. c^ 

 B., and Cicadula /ineaii/?-ons, Stal. 



Of the three new forms taken by Mr. Palmer on this trip, the descrip- 

 tions of two Capsids : Neoborus Palmer i and commissiiralis are by Dr. O. 

 M. Reuter, of Abo, Finland, and will also appear (in Latin) in a paper 

 about to be published, entitled, " Bemerkungen uber nord amerikanis- 

 chen Capsiden ^' in Ofversigt af Finska Vetens. K. Soc. Forhandl., 1908, 



Pentatomid.i:, 



Homannus cenei/rons, Say.-^This boreal species was taken in abund- 

 ance at all stations. I have found it common in the Adirondacks, but it is 

 rarely taken in the level country about Buffalo. 



Eiirygaster alternatus, Say. — Nigger Point, Quinze Lake, Lake Te- 

 magami, and elsewhere. A common and widely-distributed form. 



Euschistus tristigmus, Say. — Several specimens of the northern form, 

 with obtuse humeri, were captured on Bear Island, Lake Temagami. 



Cosmopepla carfiifex^ Fabr. — Taken along Barrier River, and at 

 other points in the Ottawa River water-shed. 



Clinocoris lateralis, Say. — Nigger Point, Quinze Lake and Barrier 

 River, several examples. Formerly placed in genus Aca7ithosoma. 



Podisus 7nodestus. Dallas. Taken at Klauck's, and at Temiskamin- 

 gue P. O., both in the Ottawa district.
