H.

L. zonatus Ball, is of compara- tively rare occurrence in the United States, and probably for this reason no record of its attacking cotton in this country is available, although the author has noted its injury to cot- ton bolls in Mexico, where it is more abundant.^ Leptoglossus phyllopus L. Leptoglossus phyllopus (PL I, fig. 6; text fig. 19) is the most common species of the leaf-footed plant-bugs found in cotton fields. Doctor Chittenden has recorded its principal cultivated food plants, showing it to be an almost om- nivorous plant feeder and one likely Fig. leaf-footed plant-bug (Lepto- to causc scrious local damage to many glossus phyllopus): Adult.

About 20 adults of this species were observed by the writer on a single cotton plant near Mason, Tex., on October 20, 1905. They began to take wing when the writer was quie
