ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF NEW YORK 

 PENTATOMID^. 

 By Nathan Banks. 



Mr. Torre Bueno's article on Pentatomidas near New ^'ork induced 

 me to look over my collection of these insects, many of which were 

 taken at or near Sea Cliff, L. I., my former home. I see that I have 

 taken there all the species Mr. Torre lUieno lists except Mineiis biocu- 

 latits. In addition there are several forms, some of which are not 

 common. 

 Stiretrus anchorago Fabr. 



One specimen taken at Roslyn several years ago. 

 Dendrocoris humeral is Uhler. 



( )ne specimen from Bayville Beach, May. I might mention that 

 in Dr. Smith's New Jersey list this species is under two names ; once 

 as above, and again as Liotropis liiivieralis. Liotropis Uhler was pre- 

 occupied, so Bergroth in 1891 proposed to change it to Dendrocoris. 

 Perillus circumcinctus Stal. 



One specimen, taken years ago at Roslyn. P. exapfiis is much 

 more common, and overwinters as adult. 

 Podisus serieventris Uhl. 



From Sea Cliff, March, May and August. 

 Banasa calva Say. 



Specimens tVoni Harbor Mill, July ; and Sea Cliff, March and July. 

 Lioderma (Pentatoma) saucia Say. 



This species occurs at Sea Cliff and vicinity in salt-grass meadows, 

 in company with L. senilis, which is the more common. 

 Lioderma (Pentatoma) ligata Sax. 



One specimen from Sea Cliff, in August. The insect is common a 

 little farther north. 

 Murgantia histrionica Jlalm. 



1 have not seen this from Long Island, but in the past few years it 

 has been recorded several times from near Jamaica, L. I., on cabbages.
