Holotype: 8, July 12, 1917, Deming, New Mexico (H. H.

Paratypes: 33 8d, taken with the types; 5 $Q, July 11, 1917, 
Mesilla Park, New Mexico (H. H. Knight). 
Collected on the tent trap light, only males being taken, indi-

seven miles out from Deming. 
Parthenicus juniperi Heid. (Psallus) Heidemann, Jour. N. Y. 
Ents SOG, Xi, p40) 1905: 
The writer has seen the type of this species and has later studied 
type material and finds it to belong in the genus Parthenicus

obviously placing it in the genus Parthenicus.
