This species is named for Dr. D Elden Beck, whom I have known since he was a graduate student at Iowa State University, when he took my course in systematic entomology. He and Dr. D. M. Allred are in charge of some ecologi- cal studies being carried out by Brigham Young University, under contract with the Atomic Energy Commission. He collected the first speci- mens of this species that I ever saw, and when he called me to take a look, I knew at once it was the most beautifid Phytocoris I had ever seen. I am indebted to Dr. Beck for the oppor- tunity of working on the Miridae of the test site, a project that has culminated in the present publication.
