Abstract
Lygus buchanani Poppius, 1914 and Lygus udonis Matsumura, 1917 are proposed as junior subjective synonyms of Orthops scutellatus Uhler, 1877, which is diagnosed and redescribed. Lygus buchanani was originally described from N ew Zealand in error, and is to be deleted from the New Zealand fauna.
