Arthropod investigations of the North Cascades National Park Service Complex Hemiptera: Heteroptera, 1, 1997-1998
Lattin JD. 1999. Arthropod investigations of the North Cascades National Park Service Complex Hemiptera: Heteroptera, 1, 1997-1998. Technical Report NPS/NRNOCA/NRTR/99-01. Sedro-Woolley, WA
Twelve families, 24 genera, and 32 species of Hemiptera: Heteroptera were reported from the North Cascades National Park (Lattin, 1997): The present paper adds five new species of Anthocoridae, two species of Miridae, and one of Notonectidae, a new total of 13 families, 27 genera, and 40 species to date. Most of the collected taxa are boreal species, not surprising considering the geographical position of the Park. Placed against our knowledge of the composition of the greater bug fauna of North America, the Park is beginning to disclose its critical geographical position at the intersection of east-west and north-south transects. As other insect groups become known (e.g. butterflies, dragonflies, and damselflies), we will have a more precise knowledge of this important component of biological diversity.
