The Pcntatomidae of Nebraska 19 



canyon, Sioux country, Nebraska, June 19, 191 1, by R. W. Daw- 

 son. The specimen agrees exactly with the descriptions of both 

 marginiventris and gillettei and I fully agree with Mr. VanDuzee 

 in considering the diagnoses as being of the same insect. The 

 species is quite distinct from any other form with which I am 

 acquainted. 



Apateticus (Apoecilus) bracteatus (Fitch). 



1856. Arma bractcata Fitch, Trans. N. Y. St. Ag. Soc, XVI, p. 332. 



A male specimen was taken at Indianola in May. It is identical 

 in coloration with specimens from Wisconsin. 



Apateticus (Apoecilus) cynicus (Say). 



183 1. Pentatoma cynica Say, Hef. Hem., N. Harm., Ind. 

 185 1. Arma grandis Dallas, List, I, p. 96. 



Uhler records this species from Nebraska in 1876 {Bull. U. S. 

 Geo!. Geog. Surv. Terr., No. 5, ser. 2, p. 16). The only addition 

 to this record is a female which I secured at Glen, July 14, 1910, 

 and another female which is unlabeled but which may also have 

 been taken in this state. 



This is our largest pentatomid, although Nezara hilaris is 

 almost its equal in size. 



Apateticus (Podisus) maculiventris (Say). 



1831. Pentatoma maculiventris Saj-, Ins. Louisiana, p. 11. 

 1851. Arma spinosa Dallas, List, I, p. 98. 



A rather common bug over the whole state. Localities repre- 

 sented in the collection are Lincoln, " South-east Nebraska," 

 Roca, A\'est Point, Pine ridge, Sioux county. 



[Apateticus (Podisus) modestus (Dallas). 

 1851. Arma modesta Dallas, List, I, p. loi. 

 1867. Rhaphigaster aggressor Walker, Cat. Hct., II, p. 359. 



This is another species for which Uhler's record in 1876 {Bull. 

 U. S. Geol. Geog. Surv. Terr., No. 5, ser. 2, p. 16) stands alone. 

 I can find no specimens from Nebraska in the collection which are 

 referable to it.]
