Kean Secretary Richard H. Smith, Jr. Treasurer Edgar A. Cohen, Jr. Historian (vacant) Publications Editor Eugene J. Scarpulla The Maryland Entomological Society (MES) was founded in November 1971, to promote the science of entomology in all its sub-disciplines; to provide a common meeting venue for professional and amateur entomologists residing in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and nearby areas; to issue a periodical and other publications dealing with entomology; and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information through its meetings and publications. The MES was incorporated in April 1982 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, scientific organization. The MES logo features an illustration of Euphydryas phaëton (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), the Baltimore Checkerspot, with its generic name above and its specific epithet below (both in capital letters), all on a pale green field; all these are within a yellow ring double-bordered by red, bearing the message “● Maryland Entomological Society ● 1971 ●”. All of this is positioned above the Shield of the State of Maryland. In 1973, the Baltimore Checkerspot was named the official insect of the State of Maryland through the efforts of many MES members. Membership in the MES is open to all persons interested in the study of entomology. All members receive the annual journal, The Maryland Entomologist, and the monthly e-newsletter, Phaëton. -

SLATER In this paper an attempt has been made to present an adequate list of Lygaeidae found in Iowa and Illinois, and to indicate what is known of the intrastate distributions of the various species. This paper is limited to geographic considerations and, in this sense, assumes the character of a "local list"' as no biological or ecological considerations are discussed. It is felt that our knowledge of the Nearctic Lygaeidae has reached a degree of maturity where know· ledge of state and lesser faunal areas is essential to encourage the badly needed bionomic work that should develop with a relatively stable and mature taxonomy. -

THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF HETEROPTERAN PREDATORS - GEOCORIS PUNCTIPES (SAY), G. ULIGINOSUS (SAY) (GEOCORIDAE) AND ORIUS INSIDIOSUS (SAY) (ANTHOCORIDAE) IN WARM - SEASON TURFGRASS by SHIMAT VILLANASSERY JOSEPH (Under the direction of S. KRISTINE BRAMAN) ABSTRACT Occurrence, abundance, predatory potential and residual effect of insecticides on the heteropteran predators, big-eyed bugs Geocoris punctipes (Say), G. uliginosus (Say) and the minute pirate bug, Orius insidiosus (Say) were studied in different turfgrass taxa. Evaluation of sweep and vacuum samples collected from 20 residential lawns, revealed a significant influence of grass taxa on abundance of all predatory heteropterans. None of the predatory heteropterans were affected by turfgrass density. Anthocorids increased with increasing turfgrass height and all stages of mirids were more often collected as weed density increased. Anthocorids were most abundant in St.Augustinegrass and showed a strong correlation with the abundance of chinch bugs. Male G. punctipes killed significantly more fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) neonates on bermudagrass and seashore paspalum than on zoysiagrass cultivars, while, Orius demonstrated significant predation on zoysiagrass and bermudagrass cultivars. Fall armyworm mortality was highest on ‘Cavalier’ and least on ‘Sea Isle 1’ and their mortality occurred in the following order: zoysiagrass > seashore paspalum > bermudagrass in the field when different densities of Orius were released. In both pesticide assessment trials, reduced concentrations of chlorpyrifos were toxic to G. uliginosus and G. punctipes as compared to controls. Different concentrations of both spinosad and halofenozide failed to influence (P > 0.05) the survival of big-eyed bugs in tube trials for one and three days after exposure.

Biology and Management of Twolined Spittlebug, Prosapia Bicincta
BIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF TWOLINED SPITTLEBUG, PROSAPIA BICINCTA (SAY) (HEMPITERA: CERCOPIDAE) IN TURFGRASS by PUNYA NACHAPPA (Under the direction of John N. All) ABSTRACT Potential predation on twolined spittlebug, Prosapia bicincta (Say) eggs, nymphs and adults was investigated in the laboratory by entomophagous arthropods commonly found in turfgrass. Eggs were most vulnerable to attack from predators. Nymphs are protected in the spittlemass from predation, but are susceptible to attack when, mechanically removed from their spittlemass. P. bicincta adults were also killed by arthropod predators evaluated in the study. The functional response of the tiger beetle, Megacephala carolina carolina L. to varying prey densities of P. bicincta, and fourth instar fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) larvae in single- prey and two-prey systems was assessed in the laboratory. Like most insect predators, M. carolina carolina demonstrated a type II functional response in both situations. An alternate management strategy for P. bicincta, with low-risk selective insecticides against nymphs and adults was evaluated in the field. Number of general use insecticides were effective in controlling P. bicincta nymphs and adults.

Geocorines now belong to a separate lygaeoid family, the Geocoridae, following division of a paraphyletic Lygaeidae into smaller, monophyletic families (Henry, 1997). Geocoris uliginosus (Say) is a common eastern North American species (Sweet, 2000) found statewide in Virginia from sea level to about 5,000 ft (1,525 m) on Mount Rogers (Hoffman, 1996). Species of Geocoris can be difficult to identify (Hoffman, 1996; Sweet, 2000), but G. uliginosus can be recognized east of the Mississippi (its range extends west to New Mexico and Texas; Ashlock & Slater, 1988) by its almost uniformly black coloration. Adults are oval with males about 3.3 mm and females about 3.5 mm long. This geocorid is found mainly around houses, along roadways, and in agroecosystems and other disturbed habitats (Readio & Sweet, 1982). Adults are fully winged (macropterous), which is typical of most species of Geocoris that occupy temporary habitats (Readio & Sweet, 1982; Sweet, 2000). Geocoris uliginosus has been studied mainly in managed systems such as field crops (Whitcomb & Bell, 1964; Roach, 1980) and turfgrasses, where the principal prey of this generalist predator are chinch bugs, Blissus species (Lygaeoidea: Blissidae) (Dunbar, 1971; Reinert, 1978; Carstens et al., 2008). Numerous other small arthropods serve as prey (Crocker & Whitcomb, 1980), including eggs and neonate larvae of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. -
