 ticular day referred to was bright and warm. Next spring we 

 shall try to determine the time at which these species first appear, 

 and then the data of occurrence may be more fully summarized. 



NOTES ON THE HEIDEMANN COLLECTION OF HETEROP- 

 TERA NOW AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 



By J. R. DE LA ToRRE-BuENO, White Plains, N. Y. 



While on a visit at Cornell University in the summer of 1919, 

 through the courtesy of Dr. J. C. Bradley, I was able to go over 

 the Heidemann collection of Heteroptera, purchased by the Uni- 

 versity after his death. These few notes refer to those facts 

 which could be determined without prolonged study and com- 

 parisons. 



Oncosygia clavicornis Stal. The collection contains two speci- 

 mens of this very rare species, one from Fortress Monroe, Va., 

 April 19; and the other from Ashby, Fla. The latter is an addi- 

 tion to its distribution, it being known only from Texas and Vir- 

 ginia. 



Teleonemia slossoni Heid. Type. The specimen so marked 

 is a short-winged Alveotingis grossocerata O. & D., from Fran- 

 conia, N. H., taken by Mrs. Slosson ; 2 short-winged, with perfect 

 antennae, are from Delaware Water Gap, Pa., Mrs. Slosson, as 

 is one long-winged specimen. The New Hampshire record is 

 new. I have taken this species in White Plains, N. Y. (here- 

 tofore unrecorded from the state) and also a m'acropterous speci- 

 men in beach-washup, at Smith's Point, L. L 



Metatropiphorus belfragei Rent. There are specimens in this 

 collection f rom^ Biscayne, Fla. ; Virginia Beach, Va. ; Cabin John^ 

 Md., and Anglesea, N. J. All these except Biscayne, are addi- 

 tional localities ; Van Duzee reports it only from Florida and 

 Texas. 



Carthasis decoratus Uhler. There are two adults and one 

 nymph from Bladensburg, Md., in the collection. 



It is to be hoped that this collection may be gone over and 

 straightened out by competent hands some time in the not too 

 far distant future.
