Family MIRIDAE Lopidea nigridea serica Knight Reported from Alaska by Maw et al. (2000), based on 1 ♀, with data Tok, 22.vii. 1982 (L.A. Kelton) [CNC]. Dr. M.D. Schwartz has determined that this specimen is actually L. dakota Knight (see above). Hence, Lopidea nigridea serica should be deleted from the list of Alaska Heteroptera. Trigonotylus americanus Carvalho Recorded from Hope by Scudder (1997). However, a male specimen with data AK, Hope, Kenai Pen., 15.vii. 1951 (W.J. Brown) [CNC] has recently been dissected by Dr. M.D. Schwartz and determined as T. viridis (Provancher). A female with the same data is evidently T. caelestialium (Kirkaldy). Hence, T. americanus should be removed from the list of Alaska Heteroptera. : Published as part of Scudder, G. G. E. & Sikes, D.
