New distribution records and moss associations for the lace bugs Acalypta duryi drake and A. lillianis Torre-Bueno (Hemiptera: Tingidae)

North American tingids of the mostly Holarctic, moss-inhabiting genus Acalypta are seldom collected, and records from specific mosses are scant. Our collections of a nymph and an adult of A. duryi Drake from Dicranum scoparium in North Carolina, nymphs and an adult from Hylocomiastrum umbratum in Tennessee, and adults from Anomodon rostratus in Tennessee are the first specific mosses associated with this lace bug. Records of nymphs and adults of A. lillianis Torre-Bueno from Polytrichum commune and P. juniperinum in the southeastern United States corroborate the association with hair-cap mosses, Polytrichum spp. New state records for A. lillianis are Alabama and South Carolina.
