SCUTELLEROIDEA—DOUGLAS LAKE REGION 57 
indicating that this individual had just molted for the last 
time. 
It seems that the mortality among the nymphs is rather high 
or that the adults are more than usually secretive, for on the 
grass growing on the hills just back of Camp Davis and in the 
cleared areas north of North Fishtail Bay, nymphs in second 
and third instars are plentiful enough between July 4 and 11. 
However, later in the season when one would expect to find 
them in these situations, the adults are conspicuous by their 
absence. Neither were they to be found in any other situation. 
On a few occasions specimens have been swept from wild rasp- 
berry. Two adults were taken in beach drift in front of the 
Station on August 16, 1920. 
This pentatomid may be distinguished by the regularly con- 
vex oval form, the slightly convex head with prominent median 
carina, the short rounded humeri, broad rounded apex of scutel- 
lum and irregularly reticulate venation of the wing membrane. 
Neottiglossa undata (Say) 
This is quite a common pentatomid in the region and we 
possess numerous adults taken during July. We have also a 
few nymphs in all instars taken after the middle of July. 
Numerous examples are usually to be found on blue grass 
and red top growing in open places of the aspen association as 
well as on those grasses which may grow in low, more or less 
moist places such as the road through Reese’s Bog and the 
fields north of Ingleside. 
This is a small (4.5—5.0 mm.), easily distinguished pentato- 
mid, dull yellowish in color, elongate oval in outline and pre- 
sents a neat and trim appearance. Head convex with pale 
yellowish, calloused, longitudinal median line which extends 
backward on pronotum and scutellum. 
Cosmopepla bimaculata (Thomas) 
This is not a common bug in the region and the collector is 
not likely to take more than three or four specimens during the 
course of a day’s work in the field. 
My earliest record for an adult is July 7. I have taken a first 
instar nymph on July 11 and half grown nymphs as late as 
August 4. July seems to be the month in which the species is
