Family Capsid^ (Mirid^). 



(In this family Mr. Otto Heidemann has kindly arranged the names of 

 the genera and species according to the latest systems of classification as 

 advocated by Prof. 0. M. Reuter in his work, " Hemipterologische Specula- 

 tionen. Die Classification der Capsiden, " 1905: Festschrift fiir Palmen No. 1; 

 and also by Mr. G. W. Kirkaldy in ' ' List of the Genera of the Pagiopodous 

 Hemiptera-Heteroptera, " 1906: Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, vol. XXXII, pp. 

 117-156. "In doing so," Mr. Heidemam writes, "I followed Professor 

 Reuter in his phylogenetic arrangement of his divisions, but use the word 

 "tribe" as a more appropriate term, and which is generally adopted now 

 by the American systematists. I do not agree with Mr. Kirkaldy in his 

 sweeping changes of nomenclature, which he proposes in some of his papers. 

 I have retained the names of divisions or tribes in accordance with Profes- 

 sor Reuter's statements in his last work on the classification of the Cap- 

 sid£e.")
