TRIBE II. — ACALYPTINI. 481 



broadly rounded ; subcostal area with five rows of cells ; discoidal area 

 rather broad, extending beyond middle of elytra, with four rows of cells, 

 its outer margins subparallel. Length, 2.5 — 3 mm. (Fig. 110). 



Described from South Carolina. Recorded elsewhere from 

 Massachusetts and Virginia. Occurs in late autumn beneath 

 weed debris along the margins of swales. 



447 (63714). Acalypta lillianis Bueno, 1916, 39. 



Oval or elongate-oval, subdepressed. Head and body beneath dark 

 brown; upper surface a nearly uniform grayish-brown, the areolae sub- 

 opaque; legs and antennae fuscous-brown, the tarsi 

 paler. Hood very small, subtriangular, carinate above 

 and with three rows of cells each side. Pronotum with 

 tip obtuse, lateral carinas subparallel or slightly diver- 

 gent behind, reaching hood in front, middle one slightly 

 the higher. Paranota broadly rounded and with two 

 rows of cells. Discoidal area of elytra with four rows 

 of cells, its sides strongly carinate; subcostal area 

 with three or four rows of cells. Length, 2.3 mm., 

 brachypterous form; 3 mm., macropterous one. (Fig. 

 111). 



Starke and Lawrence counties, Ind., May 12 — 

 June 16. Taken by sifting moss and leaves in 

 FteTin. Macrop- upland woods. Ranges from Ontario and New 

 utter f °o?bo™ 13 & England west to Michigan and south to Mary- 

 Drake) - land and North Carolina. The types were taken 



by Bueno at White Plains, N. Y., "on a damp and marshy 

 meadow by sweeping close to the ground where the tall tree- 

 like moss, Climacium americanum L., grows in clumps." The A. 

 ovata 0. & D. (1916a, 9) and the A. grisea Heid. (1917, 218) 

 are synonyms, based on the brachypterous form. 



II. Drakella Bergroth, 1922, 152. 



Small oval species differing from Acalypta mainly by the char- 

 acters given in generic key. In addition they have the bucculse 

 contiguous in front; paranota broad, subquadrate, coarsely 

 reticulated ; elytra in brachypterous form broadly oval, slightly 

 surpassing tip of abdomen, the main veins prominent ; costal 

 area with one row of large cells except near base and apex; 

 discoidal area broad with margins sinuous, reaching apical 

 fourth ; osteola absent. The generic name Fenestrella 0. & D. 

 (1916, 222) is, according to Bergroth, loc. cit., preoccupied. One 

 species is known.
