SUBFAMILY III. — ORTHOTYLIN^. 811 



Blowing Rock, N. Car., June 9 (Brimley). Clayton, Ga., June 

 (Davis). Ranges from Quebec and New England west to 

 Minnesota and southwest to Georgia. Breeds on the white pine, 

 Pinus strobus L. The long, strongly clavate second antennal and 

 pale third one, together with the strongly compressed hind 

 tibia?, distinguish this from its nearest allies. Poppius (1914, 

 243) described P. crassipes from Manitou, Colo., Riverton and 

 Lakehurst, N. J., Washington, D. C, and Williams, Ariz. 

 Knight (1923, 542) described the species he now calls strobicola 

 under the name of Poppius, but later (1926b, 19) restricted 

 the name crassipes to the western forms of Poppius and placed 

 th? eastern forms of that author under vanduseei Knight. 



854 ( — ). Pilophorus piceicola Knight, 1926b, 19. 



Color of strobicola. Basal portion of elytra yellowish-brown, clothed 

 with recumbent black hairs and a few yellow scale-like ones. Posterior 

 silvery bar straight, entire. Joints 1 and 2 of antennae fusco-brownish, 

 1 three-fifths as long as width of vertex; 2 five times as long as 1, its 

 apical half more strongly swollen than in strobicola ; 3 white, darker at 

 tip, one-third the length of 2; 4 pale, apical third fuscous, as long as 3. 

 Length, 3.8—4.2 mm. 



Known only from southern New York, where it was taken by 

 Bueno in July from spruce. 



855 (1129). Pilophorus cinnamopterus (Kirschbaum), 1855, 116. 



Pale cinnamon-brown, sparsely clothed with very short yellowish- 

 hairs; pronotum and scutellum black; area of corium behind posterior 

 bar shining brown ; cuneus brown with a small white pubescent spot at 

 inner basal angle; membrane fuscous-brown, iridescent; legs brown, base 

 of femora reddish-yellow; tarsi brownish-yellow, third joint and claws 

 piceous. Joint 1 of antennae brownish yellow, one half as long as width 

 of vertex; 2 fuscous-brown, paler toward base, thickened toward apex, 

 four and one-half times as long as 1 ; 3 black, base reddish, three-eighths 

 as long as 2; 4 yellowish-white, apex brown, slightly shorter and more 

 slender than 3. Beak reaching first ventral. Pronotum and scutellum 

 finely transversely wrinkled, the latter with a crescent-shaped bar of 

 white pubescence near tip. Length, 4 mm. 



Heme Bay, England, August (British Mus. Coll.). A European 

 species recorded in this country only by Osborn (1900, 12) 

 from Ohio. Occurs in Europe on oaks and Pinus sylvestris L. 

 Readily known from strobicola by the dark third antennal and 

 small white spot on cuneus. 



856 (1131). Pilophorus amcenus Uhler, 1887a, 30. 



Head and pronotum dark fuscous-brown, subopaque; scutellum dark 

 brown, a small tuft of white hairs near apex and another each side of
