A female specimen from Pennsylvania has narrower ab-

 from N. C. (W.B.) has a faint cloud upon the crossvein and 

 petiole of the media, and less distinct abdominal fasciae.

 Jr. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phil. VI. 152. 1829. 



Length 3.75 mm. Ploney yellow ; trunk bilineate, and tergum 

 with 2 series of black punctures. Body rather pale honey-yel- 

 low; antennae black at tip; stemmatae very distinct, in a curved 

 line ; thorax a little hairy, on each side a dilated black vittae ; 

 wings fasciate near the tip ; tergum on each side with a series 

 of oval black spots; coxae white. "Indiana." 



To the above may be added the following : Ocelli are mar- 

 gined with black ; the lateral spots on the mesonotum are large, 

 oval, shining black, connected posteriorly with a broad, some- 

 times somewhat interrupted, black stripe passing under the 

 wing and covering the lateral lobes of the metathorax, some- 

 times the metanotum is also black. The tergites each usually 

 have a broad transverse fascia which is deeply emarginate in 

 front, sometimes wholly broken giving rise to the condition 

 described by Mr. Say. Male and female are similar in coloring.
