Podisus modestus Dallas.* Terrace, \'I-IX (W.W.H.)- 

 Zicrona caerulea Linne. Duncan, \'II-'18 (A.W.H.). Taken on 

 alder. This is one of the most widely distributed of the Hemiptera. 



Family COREIDAE 



Ceraleptus pacificus Barber. Saanich Dist.. 6-\'I-'18 (W.D.). 

 Determination confirmed by Barber. 



Coriomeris humilis Uhler. Mara, \'-'20 (R.C.T.); Saanich Dist., 

 7-V-'19 (W.D.). Downes' specimen was taken in sweeping blossoms of 

 trefoil and other herbage on the slopes of Mt. Douglas, four miles north 

 of ^'ictoria. Barber writes me that in his opinion this cannot.be dis- 

 tinguished by constant characters from C. nigricornis Stal, and if such 

 proves to be the case, upon comparison of types, the latter name must 

 be adopted. Family ALYDIDAE 



Alydus scutellatus Van Duzee. Mt. McLean, 20-VIII-'20. 



Tollius setosus \'an Duzee. Ivnderby, 22-VIII-'20 (W.D.).

 1920. This is the A. inornatus of my former report. 



Aradus funestus Bergroth.* Vernon, 7-X-'18 (W.D.). 



Aradus cinnamomeus* subsp. antennalis Parshley. This was pre-

Blissus occiduus Barber. Bull. Brooklyn Ent. Soc, XIII -.36. 1918. 

 Shawnigan, 22-\I-'19 (W.D.). Taken in general sweeping. This 

 species is distinguished from B. leucopterus by its small size and short

 as the scutellum. Determination confirmed by Barber.

 pronotum.

 (W.D.). Abundant under stones and droppings at Chilcotin. This
