Family PENTATOMIDAE 



Sciocoris microphthalmus Flor. 



Eight specimens, taken during July and August while sweep- 

 ing grasses and rank weeds at Barber Point and Wanakena. I 

 have very carefully collated the specimens with a male and female 

 in the late Puton's collection (from Paris Museum) and find the 

 American specimens identical with European examples determined 

 by the late Puton. This seems to be the only record for New York 

 State. The insect has been recorded for Ontario, New Hampshire, 

 Maine, Michigan and Minnesota. 



Peribalus limbolarius Stal. 



One example, collected at the Plains, July, 1920.
