Between 1998 and 2004, we retained Hemiptera specimens collected while conducting a few scattered entomological projects. Ninety-nine species of terrestrial Hemiptera, representing 15 families, were collected from various locations within 9 Arkansas counties. Of these 99 species, 54 are new state records for Arkansas. The majority of these 54 new state records are of common, widespread species that would be expected for Arkansas. Twenty-two of the 54 species have been reported for at least 4 states bordering Arkansas, whereas only 5 species (all Miridae) were not previously reported for any bordering state. Our specimens of Pycnoderes convexicollis (Blatchley, 1926) represent a fairly significant range extension for this species, previously known only from Indiana and Illinois. Introduction of our ongoing localized insect projects. The purposes of this paper are to report 54 hemipteran species as new state The aquatic and semi-aquatic true bug (Hemiptera: records for Arkansas and to provide a list of hemipteran Heteroptera) fauna of Arkansas is fairly well known. There species that we collected during our isolated projects. have been several state-wide studies (Chordas and Harp, 1991; Harp and Harp, 1990; Harp, 1985) as well as other Materials and Methods regional aquatic investigations (e.g., Chordas et al, 1996; Cochran and Harp, 1990; Harp and Harp, 1980) that Hemipterans were collected during sampling for ncluded Hemiptera. Conversely, the terrestrial Hemiptera projects targeting other insect groups. Bugs were collected in ofArkansas are less welldocumented. There are 5 terrestrial sweepnets, pitfall traps, black light pan traps, and lemipteran families that have been comprehensively sheets. Bugs were also collected with beating sheets or nvestigated for Arkansas: Aradidae (flat bugs; Taylor and aspirated/hand captured. Collections were made while VlcPherson, 1989), Pentatomidae (stink bugs; Barton and investigating the Diptera fauna of the White River National -,ee, 1981) and Cydnidae (burrower bugs), Scutelleridae Wildlife Refuge (Chordas et al., 2004), the insect fauna of shield back bugs), Thyrecoridae (negro bugs; Lee and springs in the Ouachita Highlands in the Ouachita National iarton, 1983). The remaining terrestrial Hemiptera are Forest (i.e., Beyers and Robison, 1997), the insect fauna argely underreported for Arkansas. Based on distribution inhabiting pocket gopher borrows (both Geomys bursarius ecords in the Catalog of True Bugs (Henry and Froeschner, ozarkensis and Geomys breviceps) inthe White River basin, and 988), 20 families of terrestrial hemipterans should occur in aquatic Hemiptera (plus general) collecting in wildlife or Arkansas.

The results indicate that E. servus is bivoltine and E. variolarius is univol­ tine. Adults of both species emerged from overwintering sites during early April, began feeding and copulating on leaves of common mullein (Verbascum thapsus) and surrounding vegetation, and reproduced shortly thereafter.

Packauskas1 Abstract Forty eight species of Pentatomidae are listed as occurring in the state of Kansas, nine of these are new state records. A key to all species known from the state of Kansas is given, along with some notes on new state records. ____________________ The family Pentatomidae, comprised of mainly phytophagous and a few predaceous species, is one of the largest families of Heteroptera. Some of the phytophagous species have a wide host range and this ability may make them the most economically important family among the Heteroptera (Panizzi et al. 2000). As a group, they have been found feeding on cotton, nuts, fruits, veg- etables, legumes, and grain crops (McPherson 1982, McPherson and McPherson 2000, Panizzi et al 2000).

Many are highly beneficial. Almost all U.S. crops and domesticated animals, many sport fish and aquiculture species, numerous horticultural plants, and most biologicalN control organisms have origins outside the country. A large number of NIS, however, cause significant economic, environmental, and health damage. These harmful species are the focus of this study. The total number of harmful NIS and their cumulative impacts are creating a growing burden for the country. We cannot completely stop the tide of new harmful introductions. Perfect screening, detection, and control are technically impossible and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the Federal and State policies designed to protect us from the worst species are not safeguarding our national interests in important areas. These conclusions have a number of policy implications. First, the Nation has no real national policy on harmful introductions; the current system is piecemeal, lacking adequate rigor and comprehensiveness. Second, many Federal and State statutes, regulations, and programs are not keeping pace with new and spreading non-indigenous pests.

JROESCHNE,RD SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 407 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

Reported here are observations of feeding by 27 species of true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) encountered in various habitats in Wisconsin over the years 2003–2014. This is the first report ofAnasa repetita Heidemann (Coreidae) from Wisconsin. ____________________ Knowing what an animal eats is essential to our understanding of that animal and its habitat requirements. Over the years 2003–2014, I accumulated many observations of insects feeding in Wisconsin. These data are vouchered by hand-collected specimens given to the Insect Research Collection of the Entomology Department at University of Wisconsin - Madison.
