SCUTELLERIDAE 75 



the families of aquatic and semi-aquatic Hemiptera. The Hsts of Miridae 

 and Isometopidae are by Dr. H. H. Knight, and those of Piesmidae and 

 Tingitidae are by Dr. Carl J. Drake. Mr. Barber has determined much 

 of the material in local public and private collections, except in the groups 

 handled by Mr. Bueno, and has collected extensively on Long Island. 

 Many records in all groups have been supplied by Dr. Knight, chiefly 

 from Batavia, Ithaca, and Rock City ; by Mr. Bueno from White Plains ; 

 and by William T. Davis, chiefly from Staten Island and Long Island but 

 also from other parts of the State where he has collected. Ernest Shoe- 

 maker and F. M. Schott have supplied many records, and others also 

 have furnished many, as credited. The editors are indebted to E. P. Van 

 Duzee for an enormous amount of work in the determination of much 

 material from all parts of the State, and for placing at their disposal all 

 of the records which he had available. 



Hemiptera have been actively collected by some of the leading special- 

 ists for many years in many places in the State, and the list is undoubtedly 

 fairly representative. There is need, however, as will be readily seen, of 

 much more collecting in certain groups and in certain regions. 



The sequence of families and genera in the present list follows as 

 closely as possible that in Van Duzee's Catalog of the Hemiptera. This 

 is practically the reverse of the order used in Comstock's Introduction to 

 Entomology. The order of arrangement of species, in general, follows 

 Van Duzee's catalog, and for convenience the catalog numbers are 

 attached. The synonymy has been changed only where later studies have 

 seemed to warrant doing so. Species not preceded by a number have been 

 described since Van Duzee's catalog was published.
