Abstract

Evans, J.H. (1931) A preliminary revision of the ambush bugs of North America, (Hemiptera, Phymatidae). Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 24(4): 711–738.

Abstract

The present paper is the result of a study of as many North American species of this family as could be obtained. Approximately three thousand five hundred specimens were examined, and several undescribed species were encountered in both of the genera found in this region, namely, Phymata and Macrocephalus. Most of the work on the North American forms has been done by Europeans, especially Handlirsch and Melin.
