"Female: — Red, fusiform, very finely punctured. Head triangular.

 black, slender, as long as body; first joint red, as long as head; second 

 more than twice the length of first; third much shorter than second; 

 fourth less than half the length of third. Prothorax with a callus on 

 each side in front. Legs piceous, slender. Membrane blackish. Hind

The above is the original description of Walker's Capsus flori- 

 da nits and if it refers to a Lopidea may be applied to any one of 

 a half dozen or more known species. Only a study of the type 

 will show its present status.

 eyes than apex of pronotum, its front subvertical ; vertex con- 

 vex without median groove, its base with a prominent, slightly 

 curved carina across its full width ; beak reaching middle coxae; 

 pronotum with a transverse impression behind the calli but 

 without a ridge in front of them as in Ilnacora and Lopidea ; 

 mesoscutum narrowly exposed ; elytra entire, cuneus scarcely 

 distinct from corium ; entire upper surface beset with numerous 

 erect black bristle-like hairs. Other characters as in Lopidea.
