LEPTOGLOSSUS. 125 
correspondent, Mr. E. T. Earle, of Evergreen, S. C., June 1869, wrote a letter to the 
department, in which he stated that he caught this insect destroying the cabbage-plant 
bug, Strachia (Murgantia) histrionica.” According to Say, as quoted by Glover, the 
male of this species has only two denticulations on the dilated edge of the posterior 
tibie, whilst the female has three. This, however, according to my own observation, is 
not constant; and in a female specimen now before me the right tibia has three denti- 
culations, whilst the left one has but two.

In the Guatemalan specimens the corium is unicolorous, and does not possess the 
pale, transverse, median fascia as described and figured by Herrich-Schaffer. This 
variability was also remarked by St&l, who writes “ Fasciola pallida corii sepe deest.”
