SCHUH, RANDALL T., 2000, Revision of the North American Plant Bug Genus Megalopsallus Knight, with the Description of Eight New Species from the West (Heteroptera: Miridae: Phylinae), American Museum Novitates 3305, pp. 1-70 : 44-45

(Apiaceae); Haplopappus acradenius (Asteraceae) ; Lycium andersonii (Solanaceae) .

DISTRIBUTION: Interior western North America from northern Mexico north to southern Oregon.

DISCUSSION: Psallus suaedae Knight was synonymized with Psallus pictipes Van Duzee by Carvalho (1958). Examination of the male genitalia of the species indicates that it is clearly a species of Megalopsallus , a placement corroborated by the chenopodiaceous hosts.
