Marion Co., Ind., June 14 — Aug. 19, swept from herbage in 

 dense woodland. Recorded from New York, Michigan and 

 North Carolina. 



Group II. — Phytocoris. 



In this group the membrane is wholly pale or dusky trans- 

 lucent without distinct spots or dots, and the basal joint of 

 antennae is shorter than the width of head across the eyes. It 

 corresponds to the Group III of Knight in the "Hemiptera of 

 Connecticut," and comprises eight of our eastern species. They 

 average smaller than those of Group I and for the most part 

 breed on pine.
