Abstract
AbstractThe possible origin and site of introduction of Berytinus minor (H.-S.) (Hemiptera: Berytidae) into North America are discussed and new North American records given. B. minor exists in both a long winged (macropterous) and short winged (brachypterous) form. Differences in morphology of the pronota and wings of both forms are given and compared with a description of the differences found in the literature. Inapplicability of the terms macropterous and brachypterous as applied to B. minor is discussed. Notes on biology and ecology at Ithaca, N.Y., are given. The species appears to overwinter as an adult and to disperse in April to its food plant, white clover, Trifolium repens. Mating and oviposition begin in late April and May with the adults of the season maturing in late July or August.
