Van Duzee, E.P. (1904). Annotated list of the Pentatomidae recorded from America, north of Mexico, with descriptions of some new species. Transactions of the American Entomological Society 30(1): 1-80.

For several years past 1 have been making special efforts to increase my collection of Pentatomids from all parts of the world. Of the species thus far recorded from America north of Mexico, I have been able to secure examples of all but a few, and some of those still wanting in my collection may yet prove to be synonyms of other better known forms. I venture to publish the present notes to put in more permanent form certain observations I have made on our species, and to record additional localities and the range of some of the species as known to me. I am aware that these notes are very fragmentary and that many other species fi'om the West Indies and jNIexico doubtless invade our southern border. Records of such additional species, including those fron) Florida, Texas, Arizona and the Pacific coast, are greatly to be desired, and it is partly in the hope of stimulating the publication of such notes that these fragments have been put in print.
