Harmostes reflexulus var. virescens Dallas. 
Harmostes virescens; Dallas, W.S. List of the specimens of Hemipterous 
Insects in the collection of the British Museum, II, 1852, pp. 520-521 
[Georgia]. 
This form seems well enough marked for recognition in nomen- 
clature. It is characterized by clear greenish color (stramineous 
in some dried specimens) with very slight dark markings of any 
kind. All specimens seen by me are from west of the Missis- 
sippi River. The localities are: Ardmore, So. Dak., Sidney, 
Nebr., Cafion City, Colo., Promontory Point and Mouth of Bear 
River, Utah, Graham Mts. and Tucson, Ariz. 
Hapsits oF ALYDINI. 
All of the species of Alydini that I have collected about Wash- 
ington, D. C., breed upon Ceanothus americanus. 1 have not 
found the nymphs upon any other plants. These remarks apply 
to Megalotomus 5-spinosus Say, Alvdus eurinus Say and Alydus 
pilosulus Herrich Schaffer. 
It may be of interest to note that I found several Alydus 
eurinus under carrion, on Four Mile Run Hill, Va., May Bil 
1914. This is the only observation I have made that would 
indicate a preference on the part of this species, for such material. 
Hypselonotus.—The various names cited under this genus in 
our catalogs and lists may well be arranged as synonyms or 
varieties* of the earliest of them, namely fulvus De Geer. 
Hypselonotus fulvus would appear to be a wide-ranging species 
with color varieties, which if future study shows, are localized, 
should be known as subspecies.
