Corythucha distincta spec. nov. 



Readily separated from allied species by the angular upper 

 line of the hood, the outer convex margin of the elytra, the 

 lack of spines on the outer and posterior margins of the mem- 

 branous pronotal margins and outer margin of the elytra. 



Antennae wdth a few long bristly hairs; first segment moderately 

 swollen, abotit twice as long as the second; second segment very short, 

 less swollen than the first; third segment very long, cylindrical; fourth 

 segment swollen toward the tip. Rostral groove moderately wide, 

 very deep; rostrum reaching between the intermediate cox£e. Mem- 

 branous pronotal margins broad, rather long and narrowing posteriorly, 

 reniform, bullate about the middle, rather closely and evenly reticulated, 

 slightly bent up posteriorly, anterior inargin only armed with a few^ 

 small spines. Hood abruptly constricted about the middle, quite evenly 

 reticulated; anterior portion long, narrow, the sides depressed; pos- 

 terior portion somewhat angular, a median line foniiing a distinct angle 

 with the anterior portion of the hood. Dorsal surface of the mem- 

 branous pronotal margins and elytra, and sides of hood armed with a 

 few spines. Pronotum rather closely and evenly punctured; posterior 

 triangular process reticulated, the sides strongly elevated anteriorly, 

 with five or six distinct areolae. Median carina moderately raised, with 

 a double series of areolae about the middle. Wings about as long as the 

 abdomen. Elytra considerably longer than the abdomen, narrowed 

 posteriorly, outer margin slightly convex, the basal refiected outer 

 margin only armed with short spines; costal area with three complete 

 and a partial series of areolae; sutural area with a row^ of large areolae on 

 the inner margin. Length, 4 mm.; width, 2.41 mm.
