Uhler.] 446 [April 17, 



This? is by no means the insect which Dr. Fieber, " Species generis 

 Corisa," p. 27. No. 28, refers to Say's species. Dr. Fieber mistakes 

 Say's insect, and probably had never seen the description of it, since 

 he misquotes the authority, and refers only to the Hemiptera of North 

 America, where the description does not occur. 



No. 202 with red label seems to be a variety of this species, but 

 in its present damaged condition no accurate determination can be 

 made. 

 4. C. alternata. 



Corixa alternata Say, Journ. Acad. Philad., iv, 322, 2. 



No. 105 ? Harris' Collection. "Maine, Mr. Randall. May 9,1836. 

 New Hampshire, Mr. Leonard." 



Determined by Mr. Say. 



Two females, the one 9 millims, the other 8 millims in length are 

 present, the smaller one agreeing very well with the description of 

 Mr. Say. The larger one is no doubt a variety of this species. 



The No. 105 without the ? is a distinct species, but the specimen 

 is too badly disfigured for correct description. 



Doubtless many species yet remain to be discovered in Massachu- 

 setts and the other New England States, and the close collector will 

 be abundantly rewarded by the capture of new and interesting forms. 

 The present collection lacks many species which are known to be 

 common in Massachusetts.
