Entomologica Americana 43: 1-124., 1964

A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Connecticut.
INTRODUCTION
Very little is known of the biology and ecology of the subfamily Rhyparochrominae, a taxon which includes over half of the members of the hemipterous family Lygaeidae. Since the Lygaeidae comprises a large family of insects, probably second in size to the Miridae among the Heteroptera, this is an unfortunate gap in our knowledge. For this reason, the present study was undertaken upon the New England rhyparochromine fauna. Of a total known lygaeid fauna of 65 species, 42 or 66% belong to the Rhyparochrom- inae. Of these I have been able to work with 39 species. Although restricted in scope to New England, this fauna, for the most part, is found throughout the eastern half of northern United States and southern Canada. A few rare species are included which while not as yet known from New England, are described from northeastern North America and may eventually be found in New England.
