LIST OF HEMIPTERA TAKEN IN THE ADIRONDACK 



MOUNTAINS 



BY E. P. VAN DUZEE 



During the past summer I had occasion to spend a few days 

 collecting Hemiptera about Lake Placid in the Adirondacks and 

 at the suggestion of Dr E. P. Felt I have gotten together some 

 brief notes on these, incorporating with them a few observa ions 

 I made in one day's collecting on the grounds of the Lake P acid 

 riub Seo 2 2 igo2, and adding the Hemiptera recorded from 

 Axto'n by Professor MacGiUivray.' My collecting at Lake Placid 

 the present season [1904] was included between A'^g- - J^^ 

 ic and embraced the following localities: one hour s work 

 near the railway station at Saranac Lake Junction between 

 7 am and 8 a.m. while waiting for a train; one day s work 

 along 'the borders of a swampy woods immediately before 

 Z Lham House; one day on and about Cobble h^, a rocky and 

 partially wooded elevation of about 600 feet behmd the Forest 

 view House; one day and a half in the deep rich woods and along 

 the road between Isham's and Wilmington Notch extendmg as 

 a east as the bridge over the Ausable river a little work in and 

 between showers in the woods about "Balance rock; and one 

 ha f hour spent on the bald summit of Mt Whiteface with a few 

 thLs taken along the trail on its slopes. The weather was gen- 

 iy cold and raLy and much of my work was done m a chiUing 

 mL driven by a cold north wind. With warm sunny weather 

 "e retu of the six days spent there would certainly have been 

 verv different. As it was I took some interesting forms among 

 which were four that Professor Osborn considers new, ^l^e descrip- 

 L„s of which he will publish shortly, and three or four others that 

 mav -Drove to be still undescribed. 



A comparison of this list with the List of the Hemiptera of the 

 MtsZkaLake District of Canada published by me in ^^ Canadian 

 Entomologist for 1889 will show that the faunas of these regions 

 fre very similar and differ from that of western New York mos ly 

 by the presence of such species as O n c o m e t o p 1 a c o s t a 1 1 s, 

 Philaenus lineatus, and H o m o e m u s a e n e 1 - 

 frons species characteristic of a region of rocks and sand___
