1076 (1249). Leucopcecila albofasciata Reuter, 1907b, 26. 



Male — Oblong, narrowed behind. Head, pronotum and seutellum 

 black or very dark brown, shining; elytra pale yellow, sparsely pubescent 

 with inclined yellowish hairs; costal margin and outer apical third of 

 corium, base and apex of clavus, and cuneus except narrowly at base, 

 dark brown ; basal half and veins of membrane yellowish translucent, 

 apical half fuscous; femora dark brown, their tips yellow; tibiae dull 

 yellow, hind ones darker at base; tarsi piceous-brown. Joint 1 of an- 

 tenna? stout, black, clavate or obconical, surpassing tylus by half its 

 length; 2 dark brown, thickly hirsute, subfusiform, compressed, grooved 

 beneath, about twice as long as 1 ; 3 and 4 brown, much more slender, 3 

 slightly longer than 2, 4 about one-fifth the length of 3. Clavus and 

 corium finely transversely rugose. Length, 2 — 2.2 mm. Female — Shorter 

 and more parallel. Antennae more slender, joint 1 but slightly surpassing 

 tylus, 2 slender at base, much thickened toward apex. Elytra not or but 

 slightly surpassing abdomen; cuneus as broad at base as long. Length, 

 1.5 — 1.8 mm. 



Caxambus, Fla., March 8 {IV. S. B.) . Raleigh, N. Car., Sept. 

 4 (Brimley). A neotropical species described from Jamaica and 

 hitherto recorded in this country only from Bellaire, Fla. ; Penn- 

 sylvania and California. Wirtner (1904, 202) mentioned it, 

 under the name of Rhinacloa forticornis Reut., as "common in hay 

 fields at Greensburg, Pa., July to September; abundant in fields 

 where the grain has been cut." Specimens were sent by him 

 to Reuter, who corrected his identification. Van Duzee (1914, 

 31) states that near San Diego, Cal., it is "common in alfalfa 

 fields throughout the year."
