Dead leaf clusters as habitats for adult Calliodis temnostethoides and Cardiastethus luridellus and other anthocorids (Hemiptera : Heteroptera : Anthocoridae)

Two species of Anthocoridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) were found in dead-lea f clusters of black oak in west-central Michigan, Calliodis temnostethoides and Cardiastethus luridellus. These clusters resulted from full-leafed tre es being blown over by a severe wind storm in May 1998. They contained spid ers, springtails, tubiliferan thrips, small beetles, and psocids, besides t he predaceous anthocorids. Such habitats are well-known for some bugs elsew here. Because only adults were collected, it was assumed that the more perm anent habitat was likely to be under bark. Further attention to this habita t likely will result in additional records for other species of Anthocorida e.
