Vol.1] Van Duzee. — Lake Tahoe Hemiptera 235 



Nahis ferus Linn. Found everywhere. Here the species has 

 every appearance of being a native insect and possibly it is in- 

 digenous to all the northern portions of this continent. 



Anthocoris hakeri Popp. Taken near the Lodge, June 21. 

 Poppius' paper describing this species never reached me and I 

 was unaware of its existence until after the publication of my 

 species ornatus, which is undoubtedly identical with hakeri. 



Anthocoris antevolens White. Taken on the low lands about 

 Fallen Leaf Lake in July. 



Anthocoris melanocerus Reut. Two examples were beaten 

 from the chaparral along the western shore of Fallen Leaf Lake, 

 July 5. 



Saldula interstitialis Say. One taken at Tallac July 25. 



Saldnla sp. Taken on the low lands about the lake and up to 

 8500 feet on the western slope of ]\Iount Tallac. 



Gerris orha Stal. Found on Fallen Leaf Lake. Cathedral 

 Lake, Angora Lakes and elsewhere, in July. 



Gerris gillettei L. & S. One example taken at the sawmill at 

 the lower end of Fallen Leaf Lake, July 25. 



Stenodema vicina Prov. Taken on grassy openings along Glen 

 Alpine Creek, at Half INIoon Lake, and on the western slopes of 

 Angora Peaks, in July. No males were found but the females 

 were not uncommon. 



Platytylellus intercidenda Dist. Occasional on rank vegeta- 

 tion about the lower levels after July 16. 



Phytocoris cximius Reut. Glen Alpine Springs, July 30. 

 This species and the next were only just reaching maturity when 

 I left, the last of July. 



Phytocoris inops Uhler. With the preceding. This is a 

 smaller species having the membrane varied with whitish and 

 fuscous in coarser blotches, the antennae longer and more slender, 

 with the basal joint more obviously banded and the pale incisures 

 broader. 



Ectopiocerus anthracinus Uhler. Occasional in July at the 

 lower levels. 



Poeciloscytus uhleri Van D. Taken at the level of Fallen 

 Leaf Lake and up to 8500 on the west slope of Angora Peak, 

 toward the last of July. 



Poeciloscytus venaticus Uhler. Not uncommon on rank weeds 

 about the lower end of Fallen Leaf Lake in July.
