26 IOWA STUDIES IN NATURAL HISTORY 
ern United States, I am forced to the conclusion that they are 
the same species. I can find no structural or color differences 
and feel no doubt in pronouncing them identical. I have seen 
this from Porto Rico, San Domingo, St. Thomas, and St. Croix. 
Nysius basalis Dallas from Jamaica is a much larger species. 
Ischnorhynchus championi Distant 
1882. Ischnorhynchus championi Distant, B. C. A., 193, Pl. XIX, Fig. 3. 
One specimen of this little ochraceous species from Barbados. 
Described from Guatemala by Distant, it has been reported from 
Grenada, St. Vincent, and Jamaica in the West Indies. It is

Seven specimens from Antigua. Probably occurs in most if

Seventy from Antigua. Very common throughout the West 
Indies, ranging from northern South America to the southern 
United States. It has been recorded from Cuba, Isle of Pines, 
Porto Rico, and Jamaica. I have seen material from Jamaica, 
St. Croix, St. John, Antigua, San Domingo, Cuba, and Porto 
Rico as well as from the Bahamas.
