5. Chalcoela sp.(?) — Larvae found February 13, eating fibre inside of 
old cotton bolls in fields. The moth was later bred in numbers from 
these bolls, issuing from March 29 to April 21. It is a very pretty species 
of Tortricidae. 
6. Platynota rostrana Walk.(?) — Larva found, May 24, eating the 
bracts of cotton squares on the inside of the square. It makes a slight 
web to hold the bracts together. 
A locust, Mestrobregma furcifrons Stal (April 8); and a dragonfly, 
Diplax rubicundula Say (April 9), are all that have been determined in 
these orders. 
Hemiftera Heteroptera.— A few of the Hemiptera of my own col- 
lecting have been determined by the Department of Agriculture. But most 
of those in the following list were collected either by Mr. H. F. Wickham 
or by Mr. Frank B. Armstrong, and identified by Mr. Carl F. Baker, who 
has kindly sent me the names to include here. His determinations will 
be known from the initial of the collector, W. (Wickham) or A. (Arm- 
strong), occurring after them. Very many of these species were taken 
by me, and detailed notes made on them, but the Department has not 
yet determined the material. The Heteroptera are as follows: 
1. Corimelaena atra A. & S. — A United. States species. (W.) 
2. Corimelaena nitiduloides Wolff. — March 2, in earth in cotton field. 
A United States species. 
. 3. Corimelaena lateralis Fab. — A United States species. (W.) 
4. Pangaeus discrepans Uhl. — A species of the Western States. (W.) 
5. Stiretrus anchorago Fab. — June 6, taken on Solanum eleaginifo- 
lium Cav.; July 5, one taken inside cotton square, doubtless piercing 
bud. A species of the Southern States. 
6. Perillus claudus Say. — Brownsville and Point Isabel. A western 
species. (W.) 
7. Podisus acutissimus Stal. — Southern States. (W. & A.) 
8. Discocephala marginella Stal. — A Mexican species. (W.) 
9. Oebalus pugnax Fab. — A United States species. (A.) 
10. Mormidea pictiventris Stal. — A West Indian species. (W.) 
11. Puschistus crenator Fab. — A West Indian species. (W.) 
12. Puschistus tristigmus Say. — A United States species. (W.) Also 
identified by the Department from specimens taken by me on wild to- 
bacco, Nicotiana repanda Willd.(P), March 24. 
13. Puschistus n. sp., Uhler. — (W.) 
14. Hymenarcys aequalis Say. — United States species. (W.) 
15. Holcostethus abbreviatus Uhler.- — Western States. (W.) 
16. Peribalus limbolarius Stal. — Northern States. (W.)
