In this title, all species of Hemiptera (including 'Homoptera') known to occur in Canada and Alaska are listed and distribution by major political division is given. Arrangement is by taxonomic hierarchy with cross-references from alphabetic lists of genera and species. Annotations identify introduced species and indicate pest status. A brief descriptive synopsis is included for principle taxonomic groups and references to available identification guides (keys, revisions, handbooks), catalogues, and bibliographies are provided for genera and higher taxa.
