W. L. McAtee’s scientific contributions

... In the laboratory, the specimens were identified based on identification keys (e.g. McAtee and Malloch 1928;Ruckes 1966;Rolston 1978;Thomas 1985;Thomas and Yonke 1990) and compared with specimens deposited in the Hemiptera collection of the Laboratório de Entomologia Sistemática (LES) of UFRGS.

... Note. Although McAtee & Malloch (1924, 1932 considered Paloniella a synonym of Isometopus, Akingbohungbe (1996) treated it a valid genus, an action we follow in this paper. Herczek (1993) treated Ren & Yang's (1988) genus Paraletaba (type species: Paraletaba montana Ren & Yang, 1987 from China) as a subgenus of Paloniella. ...
