An Annotated List Of The Lygaeidae Of Iowa And Illinois (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), James A. Slater

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In this paper an attempt has been made to present an adequate list of Lygaeidae found in Iowa and Illinois, and to indicate what is known of the intrastate distributions of the various species. This paper is limited to geographic considerations and, in this sense, assumes the character of a "local list"' as no biological or ecological considerations are discussed. It is felt that our knowledge of the Nearctic Lygaeidae has reached a degree of maturity where knowledge of state and lesser faunal areas is essential to encourage the badly needed bionomic work that should develop with a relatively stable …

Bryophytes Of South-Central Colorado. Part 1, James H. Craft, Irene H. Craft

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Prominent among the names of the many bryologists who have collected in Colorado are those of Leo Lesquereux, T. S. Brandegee, T. C. Porter, and A. J. Grout. Their findings are discussed by Dr. Geneva Sayre in an unpublished dissertation on the mosses of Colorado, a work completed in 1938 (2). She points out that, with the exception of Brandegee's collections in southwest Colorado, collections of southern Colorado mosses are either meagre or lacking. The largest reported collection of recent date from southern Colorado is that of Dr. Belle K. Stewart who collected fourteen species in the Creede Valley incident …
