Family MIRIDAE

Lopidea nigridea serica Knight

Reported from Alaska by Maw et al. (2000), based on 1♀, with data Tok, 22.vii.1982 (L.A. Kelton) [CNC]. Dr. M.D. Schwartz has determined that this specimen is actually L. dakota Knight (see above). Hence, Lopidea nigridea serica should be deleted from the list of Alaska Heteroptera .

Trigonotylus americanus Carvalho

Recorded from Hope by Scudder (1997). However, a male specimen with data AK, Hope, Kenai Pen., 15.vii.1951 (W.J. Brown) [CNC] has recently been dissected by Dr. M.D. Schwartz and determined as T. viridis (Provancher) . A female with the same data is evidently T. caelestialium (Kirkaldy) . Hence, T. americanus should be removed from the list of Alaska Heteroptera .
