Two new and one little-known damsel bug of the subfamily Prostemmatinae Reuter (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Nabidae) from China

Two damsel bugs belonging to two genera of the subfamily Prostemmatinae from China are reported as new to science: Alloeorhynchus (Alloeorhynchus) yunnanensissp. n.andRhamphocorisguizhouensissp. n.The little-known species Alloeorhynchus (Alloeorhynchus) reinhardi Kerzhner & Günther, 1999 is redescribed. All species are illustrated in detail. Keys to the Chinese species ofRhamphocorisandAlloeorhynchusare provided aid in identification.

SEASONAL ABUNDANCE AND DISPERSION PATTERNS OF DAMSEL BUGS (HEMIPTERA: NABIDAE) IN ALABAMA AND FLORIDA SOYBEAN FIELDS

Seasonal abundance and dispersion characteristics of a multiple-species guild of adult and nymphal damsel bugs were determined for soybean fields located in Alabama and Florida. Damsel bugs were present in each field beginning in late June or early July. Damsel bugs then were abundant for the remainder of the growing season. The variance/mean ratio and Taylor's power law were calculated for adult and nymphal density estimates. Nymphs were aggregated and adults were slightly aggregated to random.
