number of individuals on walnut and honey locust May 21, 1913, near 
Louisville, Ky., in an area not far back from and little elevated above 
the Ohio River. 
The writer dedicates this species to his wife in testimony to her 
philosophical consideration of the continuous nightly collecting trips 
necessary to a study of the Phyllophagae, and of the equally necessary 
2 a. m. luncheons which were invariably awaiting the collector’s return. 
PHYLLOPHAGA FORSTERI Burm. 
The species which the writer has designated in his determinations as 
new species ‘“‘d’’, is apparently P. forstert (—P nova), a species quite vari- 
able. All which have been determined as n. sp. “d” were collected in 
Florida. 
PHYLLOPHAGA FORBESI Glasgow 
The species referred to by the writer in his ape ‘determinations as 
new species “e’’ has since been described by Mr. R. D. Glasgow as 
P. forbesi.* 
PHYLLOPHAGA SOROR N. Sp. 
This small species, which belongs to the quercus group and runs to 
the species affabilis in Horn’s synopsis, is distinct from that species but 
resembles clypeata in genital characters. It differs from the latter species 
in the emarginate clypeus, and there is a slight but constant difference in 
the genitalia of both sexes. This species has been designated in the 
writer’s determinations as new species “f”. 
Body oblong, rufotestaceous or darker, the thorax usually more of 
‘a reddish brown, with the head darker, surface moderately shining. 
Clypeus broadly emarginate, margin moderately reflexed, punctures mod- 
erately close, front very slightly more punctate. Thorax moderately 
densely punctate, sides regularly arcuate, not angular, widest at middle 
and somewhat narrowed at front, less so at base, margin entire and 
with sparsely placed ciliae. Elytra with moderately dense punctures, 
the sutural and discal costae moderately prominent, the submarginal 
ones indistinct or absent. Pygidium with fine, sparsely placed punctures. 
Claws with tooth of moderate size and basal in male; larger and median 
in female. Metasternum sparsely hairy. Length, 13 to 15 mm. 
Male—Antenna 9-segmented, the club noticeably shorter than the 
stem. Abdomen flattened at middle, the last segment with a transverse 
elevated ridge near anterior margin, broken in the middle with a con- 
cavity. Inner spur of hind tibia free and about one half or less the
