30. Stiphrosoma stygica. 



Capsus sUjgicus, Say, Heteropt. p, S4, No. 18. 



Found at Pembina, June 14. 



In Maryland, it occurs near the beaches in tliB tide-water districts an J 

 on the sea-coast, living upon the twigs and leaves of Baccharis lialimi- 

 folia. It would be interesting to know if this neat shrub affects saline 

 sands in the Northwest and West, in places which mlay have been the 

 margins of salt lakes and beaches of ancient ocean estuaries. This is; 

 a most adroit little insect, dodging with rapidity behind the stem or leaf 

 the moment it is approached^ but, if hard-pressed, it drops to the 

 ground, generally into the grass, and then prepares to fly off to the next 

 bush of its native shrub.
