Because there were only six species reported for North Caro lina (Henry and Froeschner, 1988), it was likely that additional records would be discovered. We identified the adult specimens in the collection to species and made augmentative field collections in 2013. We herein report the following seven species, in two genera, as state records for North Carolina: Cori mel aena agrella, Corimelaena obscura, Corimelaena pulicaria, Galgupha aterrima, Gal gup ha carinata, Galgupha denudata, and Galgupha loboprostethia. All 7 species are known from the eastern U.S. and were probable for the state. Specimens cited in this publication were entered into the Planetary Bio di versity Inventory (PBI) of the Plant Bugs database of the American Museum of Natural History. Lists of specimens examined were edited from reports generated from the PBI database. Collection data for all specimens are given in the following format: County, locality data (if recorded on label), coordinates if present on label or able to be determined, collection date, collector (if known), host (if known), number of specimens, and sex. McPherson (1982) and McAtee and Malloch (1933) were used as taxonomic references. Blatchley (1926), Henry and Froeschner (1988), and McPherson (1982) were used as species distribution references.}, number={1}, journal={Entomological News}, author={Chordas, Stephen W., III and Blinn, Robert L.}, year={2014}, month={Jun} } @article{blinn_2012, title={Arenaeocoris enervatus (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Stenopodainae), a new genus and species from the Southeastern United States}, number={3478}, journal={Zootaxa}, author={Blinn, R.

Unfortunately, many of the less diverse saproxylic taxa, including Hemiptera, remain largely unstudied. An effort to rear insects from dead wood taken from two forest types (an upland pine-dominated and a bottomland mixed hardwood), three tree species (Liquidambar styraciflua [Sweetgum], Pinus taeda [Loblolly Pine], and Quercus nigra [Water Oak]), and two wood postures (standing snags and fallen logs) in South Carolina produced 435 Hemiptera belonging to eight families and 14 species. The most common (>25 individuals) species were Lyctocoris stalii, Systelloderes inusitatus, Lasiochilus fusculus, Mezira granulata, Calisius contubernalis (a new state record), and Catonia sp. Lyctocoris stalii and Systelloderes inusitatus were almost exclusively captured in the upland and bottomland forest, respectively. Systelloderes inusitatus and Mezira granulata were recovered only from logs. Catonia sp. only emerged from P. taeda logs. Among the less common species, all but two of the 21 specimens of Peritropis saldaeformis were collected from snags. Similarly, all four specimens of Calliodis temnostethoides collected emerged from the crowns of snags. These findings strongly indicate that saproxylic Hemiptera are unevenly distributed among forests, tree species, and wood postures in the southeastern United States. A wide variety of dead wood is clearly necessary to maintain this fauna.}, number={1}, journal={Southeastern Naturalist}, author={Ulyshen, Michael D. and Hanula, James L. and Blinn, Robert L. and Kritsky, Gene}, year={2012}, month={Apr} } @article{blinn_2011, title={New State Records for Mallochiola gagates (McAtee & Malloch, 1924), a little-known microphysid in Eastern North America (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Microphysidae)}, DOI={10.11646/zootaxa.3009.1.5}, abstractNote={The Microphysidae is one of the smallest heteropteran families, comprised of 30 species and 10 extinct species in 5 genera (Henry 2009, Vinokurov et al. 2010).
