CHECK LIST 



OF THE DESCRIBED 



Mefoptoa of North America, 



By P. R. UHLER. 



The present list comprehends, as far as our present knowledge ex- 

 tends, a full list of the described species of North American Heteroptera. 

 The collections of these insects are not as extensive in the United States 

 as they are in Europe, and consequently it is difficult to obtain an ad- 

 equate knowledge of the distribution of many species, upon which a cor- 

 rection of the synonymy greatly depends. Therefore, the introduction 

 here of many so-called species rests solely upon the authority of the per- 

 son who described them. Several of Mr. Say's species still remain un- 

 known, and many of those of Mr. Walker are not recognizable by the 

 aid of his descriptions. Such species have generally been placed pro- 

 visionally in genera to which they appear to belong. 



In the speedy completion of this list I am deeply indebted to the 

 ready pen of Miss Pearl Daniels.
