Wheeler, A.G. 2004 Largidea davisi Knight, a rarely collected plant bug (Hemiptera: Miridae: Deraeocorinae) associated with pitch pine in the northeastern United States.. Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 106(1): 85-89.
Notes: Described in 1917 and known previously only from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Long Island and near New York City, New York (ca. 14 specimens), the deraeocorine mirid Largidea davisi Knight is newly reported from Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Additional records are given for Massachusetts and New York. This univoltine predator was found only on pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.), typically in extensive and remnant pine barrens. The gall-forming margarodid scale Matsucoccus gallicolus Morrison is suggested as prey of this late-season plant bug.
