Abstract
The host plants of 2 poorly known coreoid Hemiptera are documented. In New England and the Middle Atlantic States, the rhopalid Arhyssus hirtus (Torre-Bueno) develops on and under mats of Hudsonia spp. (Cistaceae), and in the southern U.S. the alydid Esperanza texana Barber is associated with and sometimes damages bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. (Poaceae). For both species new locality records are given and the known distribution is reviewed; a diagnosis of the adult and a description of the 5th-instar nymph are provided.
