This and the next species seems to belong either to Eucoila Westw. 

 or Kleidotoma Westw., but I am not sure to which trenus they properly 

 belong. The sculpture of the scutellum is very much like that of Eu- 

 coila melanoptera Hartig (Europe), but otherwise there is but little 

 similarity. I refer them, therefore, doubtfully, to Eucoila.
