116 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



A LIST OF HEMIPTERA HETEROPTERA COLLECTED IN 



SOUTH LOUISIANA. 



BY C, H. T. TOWNSEND, CONSTANTINE, MICH. 



Now that we have been suppHed by Mr. Uhler with a list of the 

 Hemiptera Heteroptera of North America, which has been much needed, 

 it will be interesting to know more about the geographical distribution of 

 the species. The following list is short, but will nevertheless add to our 

 knowledge of these insects. The species were collected at the same time 

 and in the same localities with the Coleoptera given in my list (Can. 

 Entom., xvii., p. 66-73), and the preliminary notes there given apply also 

 here. The species were kindly determined for me by Mr. Uhler. 



PENTATOMID.E. 



Milieus biocidatus Fab. One specimen taken on plants.* 



Podisus sp. The nymphs of two species of Podisus were taken on wild 



plants ; one black and reddish, and three smaller of a greenish 



color. 

 Euthyrhynchus floridamis Linn. One taken 25th May on plants along 



the wild side of a ditch, on the edge of a plantation. B. la F. 

 Ocbahis typhtxus Fab. Two taken on plants. This species is not given 



in the Check List. 

 Euschistus sp. Two nymphs were taken on plants ; they are probably 



two different species, though they look much alike. 

 Proxy s piindulatus Pal. Beauv, Twenty taken, nearly all on 29th 



March, under dry logs near Lake Pontchartrain, at Milneburg. 

 Nezara vividula Linn. . Two imagos taken 2nd June on plants, and 



one nymph at another time. B. la F. 

 Nezara hilaris Say. One nymph taken on plants. 

 Edessa bifida Say. One taken about first of June, I think, on wild 



plants. B. la F, 



COREID.E. 



Metapodius granulosus Dallas. Numbers taken on thistles and other 

 plants along ditches on plantations, and in other open sunny 

 places. N. O. ; B. la F. This is probably not the species so 



* Where no locality is given it may be either, but is probably B . la F. Where 

 no date, it is unknown, unless the species was more or less abundant during my stay.
