1916] Book Review 129 



In the Heteroptera I have noted the following points which call 

 for comment: 



p. ix, 17, Neidiinse should read Neidinse. 



p. 4, Graphosominse should read Graphosomatinge. 



Podops is feminine, 

 p. 8, No. 181, hilaris should read hilare. 

 p. 8, Acanthosominae should read Acanthosomatinse, according 



to the International Code ruling, 

 p. 10, No. 236a, C. distinctus I consider a distinct species. 

 p. 12, No. 288, viftiger should read vittigera. 

 p. 13, Leptocorisiini should read Leptocorisini. 

 p. 23, Lethiini should read Lethajini. 



p. xi, p. 25, Tingididse should read Tingidse, as indicated by 

 Fabricius' use of the genitive Tingis (Syst. Rhyng., 

 p. 124, footnote), 

 p. 25, No. 639a, C. cratoegi I consider a distinct species, 

 p. 27, Ploiarioliinse should read Ploiariolini. 

 p. 30, No. 777a, R. americanus I consider a distinct species. 

 p. 35, Triphleps is feminine, 

 p. 41, Deraeocoriaria should read Derseocoraria. 

 p. 42, No. 1105, amcEniis should read amcena. 

 p. 44, No. 1145, instahile should read instahilis. 



No. 1147, conflnenta should read confluens. 

 p. 50, No. 1319, stellata should read stellatus. 



No. 1324, confluenta should read confluens. 

 p. 52, Belostomidse should read Belostomatidse as on p. xi. 



Belostoma is neuter. 

 The conscientious preparation of such a work as this involves 

 much painstaking labor, and every page gives evidence of how faith- 

 fully the author has done his task. Mistakes are unusually few 

 and many long standing and oft repeated errors, large and small, 

 are at last corrected. In this, his latest contribution, Professor 

 Van Duzee has again laid entomologists under great obligations 

 and has given a new impetus to American Hemipterology, as the 

 lack of a scholarly list has been one of the chief reasons for the 

 neglected condition of this group, which offers such a fertile field 

 for systematic, biological, and economic researches.
