brane of the wing afford distinctive structural characters; but these are not 

 easily seen, and, from the practical standpoint it makes no difference, for all 

 the members of this family are also plant-feeders. 



The important economic species is the " cinch-bug," which, in some western 

 States, inflicts enormous injury on wheat and corn crops. Fortunately the 

 species is very rare and never injurious in our State, hence no reference to 

 methods of treatment need be made : indeed, though we have a goodly number 

 of species, and some of them are quite common ; yet as it happens, none of 

 them occur so as to do notable injury on our staples. Should any of them ever 

 require treatment, the contact insecticides would have to be resorted to.
