subflava (Girault). D. C, S. C, III, Kans., S. Dak., Idaho, Wash., Calif.; Mexico, Argentina, 



Australia. Host: Blissus leucopterus (Say) (?), Balciutha hnpicta (Van Duzee), Circulifer 

 tenellus (Baker), Deltocephalus minutus Van Duzee, D. sonorus Ball, Empoasca solatia 

 De Long, Halticus bracteatus (Say). The conspecificity of the North American and 

 Australian specimens of this species should be reinvestigated, even though the 

 identifications of both were made by the author of this species. A careful reading of the 

 paper by McColloch and Yuasa, cited below, shows that the record of subflava from the 

 eggs of the chinch bug is either incorrect or fortuitous.
