Abstract
ABSTRACT. The black bug species Corimelaena harti (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Thyreocoridae) was described over 100 years ago, yet practically no ecological information is known about the species. We newly report Galium concinnum (shining bedstraw) as a confirmed host plant and “mountain mint” as a second possible host plant. Further, we report this black bug species as a new state record for Ohio.
期刊介绍:
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
