On cotton the writer has taken a specimen of Nezara viridula on a boll at Cam- eron, La., and one at Johnsons Bayou, La., both on October 10, 1904, and has taken a fourth- instar nymph at Calvert, Tex., August 27, 1903, and a fifth-instar nymph at Victo- ria, Tex., No-

On cotton the writer has taken a specimen of Nezara viridula on a boll at Cam- eron, La., and one at Johnsons Bayou, La., both on October 10, 1904, and has taken a fourth- instar nymph at Calvert, Tex., August 27, 1903, and a fifth-instar nymph at Victo- ria, Tex., No- vember 10, 1904. Mr. F. C. Pratt found adults of the species com- mon on turnip at New Braunf els, Tex., on October 27, 1905. Of 3 9 specimens collected by Mr. Hooker at Quin- cy, Fla., in stages susceptible to parasitism by Tachinids, in only one instance was a Tachinid egg found at- tached to a bug. This bug was in the fifth nymphal instar and became adult 4 days after the egg was first observed and died 10 days later, but upon dissection no evidence of the presence of an internal parasite could be Fig. -Nezara viridula: Nymph, fifth instar; light and dark tjTpes.
