my former paper as P. eximius. Specimens have been compared with 

 the types by Knight. The species has been known hitherto from 

 Michigan and Minnesota and eastward. 



Stenotus binotatus Fabricius.* Royal Oak. 7-VIII-'19 (W.D.). 

 Good figures of this species are to be found in "Insect Life," V:90, 1892. 

 Lygidea rubecula var. obscura Reuter. Penticton, 16-VIII-'20 

 (W.D.). 



Lygus pratensis Linne.* Duncan, 4-VIII-'20 (W.D.) ; Terrace, 

 VI-IX (W.W.H.). Several varietal forms which Knight has under 

 investigation. 



Lygus campestris Linne.* Chilcotin, l-IX-'20 (E.R.B.) ; Saanich 

 Dist., 6-VI-'18 (W.D.). 



Lygus nubilatus Knight. Bull. Cornell Agr. Exp. Sta., No. 391, 

 1917, p. 584. Saanich Dist., 30-IV, 10-V-'18 (W.D.). Known hitherto 

 only from California. Determined by Knight. 



Neoborus amoenus Reuter. Victoria, 27-VIII-'20 (W.D.). Found 

 on poplar and maple trees near the docks, not elsewhere on the Island. 

 The coloration is unusually pale. 



Deraeocoris borealis Van Duzee. Proc. California Ac. Sci., (4) 

 IX:354, 1920. Victoria, 30-VIII-'20 (W.D.) . Determined by Knight, 

 who has revised the genus. This species was described from Eastern 

 Canada, Maine, and New York, but its range undoubtedly extends across 

 the continent, as is the case with so many northern species. 



Coquillettia insignis Uhler. Okanagan Falls, 16-VI-'19 (R.C.T.). 



Labops hesperius Uhler. Chilcotin, 23-VII-'20 (E.R.B.) . 



Labops burmeisteri Stal. Chilcotin, 15-VI-'20 (R.C.T.). On grasses 



on open range. The determination of this species must be considered 



provisional, as a comparison with the types is necessary to make the 



matter certain. This form may be distinguished from L. hesperius by 



its very small size (length, brach. 3 mm, macr. 3.5 mm), the much 



coarser and thicker scale-like pubescence of the dorsal surface, which 



almost covers the pronotum and scutellum, and the coloration of the 



femora, which are black except at apex and not annulate as in hesperius. 



Hadronema militaris Uhler.* Okanagan Falls, 16-VI-'19 (R.C.T.) ; 



Penticton, VI-'19 (R.C.T.). 



Hadronema princeps Uhler. Vernon, 29-VII-'20 (M.H.R.). 

 Orthotylus pacificus Van Duzee.* Royal Oak, 7-VII-'19 (W.D.). 

 Several specimens of this species, of which the description was included 

 in my former report, were collected on Salix in company with Stenotus 

 binotatus, to which they bear some superficial resemblance. The extent 

 of the black markings is sometimes greater than the original description 

 would indicate. The anterior half of the pronotum may be entirely 

 black, or with pale anterior margin ; the scutellum may be wholly black 

 except for a narrow median pale spot in the posterior half ; and the head 

 may be largely black or largely pale.
