907 ( — ). Lopidea amorphic Knight, 1923b, 65. 



Elongate, subparallel, feebly tapering behind, male; slightly sub- 

 oval, female. Dull orange-yellow with dark markings of head, pronotum, 

 legs and under surface as in heidemanni; elytra clothed with fine yellow- 

 ish pubescence, the inner apical halves of clavus and corium strongly 

 tinged with fuscous; front coxa? dull yellow. Joint 1 of antennae nearly 

 twice as long as width of vertex, 2 three and one-half times the length 

 of 1 ; 3 and 4 densely clothed with very fine grayish pubescence, 3 one- 

 half the length of 2, 4 one-third as long as 3. Length, 6 — 6.3 mm. 



Ramsey Co., Minn., July 8 — 18 (Gerhard). Recorded as yet 

 only from the type locality, but as the host plant occurs in 

 Indiana and ranges west of Ohio from Manitoba to Florida, the 

 known range of the insect will probably be much extended.
