Excerpt from Catalogue of the Nearctic Hemiptera-Heteroptera Dr. Uhler 5 List has been very useful, but it was only a list, included Mexican Species, and is now twenty years behind hand. The difficulties that I met have been largely eased by the kindness of Mr. Otto Heidemann, and especially valuable has been his help in the Capsidm, placing in my hands some of his manuscript notes. No order of American insects has been so largely con trolled by Europeans as the Heteroptera. Not only have they described most of our species, but these descriptions are often in societies little known to American entomologist, and almost none of them in entomological journals. Volume after volume of our entomological journals is issued without a single article on Heteroptera, and when one is found it is short, or only a list of names, It is hoped that this cata logue will encourage entomologists to devote more time to this order, so that our forms will be better known to us.
