for any other species. In connection with this it may not be 

 amiss to state that the commonly accepted statement that this 

 is the only form to be found in the United States is erroneous. 

 The senior author has in his collection at least five species 

 from the Atlantic seaboard, and two or three more from the 

 Pacific coast, all but one of which are undescribed. 



G. sp. Lake Ellis, May 8-18, 1906. Some two or three taken. 



This is a form very distinct from oculatus Fab. , approaching 

 the Central American species. It differs from the common 

 oculatus in size, shape, markings, although it must be said that 

 color in the genus is absolutely negligible. This form also 

 occurs in New Jersey. 



Family NAUCORIDAE Stal. 

 Subfamily Naucorinae Kirkaldy. 

 Genus PELOCORIS Stal. 

 P. carolinensis Bueno. Lake Ellis, June 8-14, 1905, May 18, 1906. 

 Abundant. 



This interesting little form is very distinct from our common 

 P. femoratus Pal. de Beauv., and approaches near the smaller 

 and more slender tropical American species. 



Family BELOSTOMATIDAE Auctt. 

 Genus BENACUS Stal. 

 B. griseus Say. Raleigh, March, 1903, at electric light ; also taken in 

 1905, March 10 (23), May 6 (6) ; in 1901, September 20 (41), 21 (37), 

 November 18 (1) ; in 1902, April 1 (38), 2 (54), 3 (1), 5 (3), 7 (1), 12 (5), 

 14 (9) ; in 1903, March 10 (80), n (58), 12 (29) ; in 1904, March 26 (32) ; 

 in 1905, January 13 (1), June 21 (1) ; in 1906, April 11 (118), 12 (80), 13 

 (.46), 14 (35) ; the spring flight in March or April seems the largest, 

 though there are several others during the year. 



Genus AMORGIUS Stal (= Belostoma Auctt. nee Latreille). 

 Subgenus Montandonista Kirkaldy. 

 A. Jihleri Montandon. Raleigh, July 4, 1904, at electric light ; also 

 taken May 6, 1905 (8), and in 1906, April 14 (1), June 15 (2), 21 (1). 



Not uncommon at times in summer around electric lights, 

 but never as abundant as B. griseus, nor does it fly so early in 

 the season.
