LIST OF THE HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA OF MAINE.! 
By H. M. Parsstey, 
Bussey Institution, Harvard University. 
The present list is the first of a series of papers in preparation 
by me on the Heteroptera of New England and is offered as a 
record of the species definitely known to inhabit Maine. In view 
of the great extent of almost inaccessibie territory in the state and 
the relatively small amount of collecting which has been done, 
it is to be expected that additional species will be found, but I 
hope that the list is complete enough to be a useful basis for sub- 
sequent work, as it includes records of 175 species. 
The records have been compiled chiefly from the following 
sources: An unpublished list of Maine Hemiptera by Mr. O. O. 
Stover, whose material was determined in part by Uhler, in part 
by Professor Osborn; the collection of the Maine Agricultural 
Experiment Station, determined largely by Mr. E. P. Van Duzee; 
the collection of Mr. F. A. Eddy of Bangor; the collection of the 
Boston Society of Natural History; and my own collection. The 
dates given are the earliest and latest which I have found on 
record for the several species. 
My thanks are due the following, who have lent me their assist- 
ance: Dr. Edith M. Patch, who has put the collections and records 
of the Experiment Station at my disposal; Mr. J. R. de la Torre 
Bueno, who has determined a number of specimens and given 
valuable suggestions; Mr. F. A. Eddy, the veteran collector of 
Maine, who has permitted the free use of his valuable collection; 
Mr. C. W. Johnson, who has given me access to the ellection of 
the Boston Society of Natural History; Mr. O. O. Stover, who 
has generously allowed me to make use of his unpublished records; 
and Mr. C. A. Frost, who has given me specimens of several species 
which otherwise would not have been recorded.
