with an oblique ridge or tuberosity on either side, last segment with a 
transverse oval depression. Inner spur of hind tibia short and stout, the 
outer more slender and fully twice as long. Genitalia resemble those of 
infidelis in many respects but are also constantly different (Pl. XLIII, 
Fig. 18-21). 
Female.—Antennal club about as long as the funiculus. Last ven- 
tral segment broadly emarginate. The pubic process is quite different 
from that illustrated by Smith for P. infidelis, and resembles the fra- 
terna-rugosa type. The genitalia are sufficiently illustrated in Figures 
22 and 23, Plate XLIII. 
Habitat—This species has been collected at Tappahannock, Va., 
by Fox, and at Columbia, S. C., by Luginbill and Beyer. The Virginia 
collections were made April 26, 1915, and April 7 to May 2, 1916, and 
were taken on the following plants: blackberry (Rubus nigrobaccus), 
blueberry (Vaccinium sp.), wild rose (Rosa sp.), persimmon (Diospyros 
virguuiana), red oak (Quercus rubrum), Spanish oak (Q. falcata), and 
locust (Robinia hispida). The South Carolina collections were made 
April 17 to May 29, 1916, and were taken on persimmon, elder bush, black 
gum, hackberry, birch, and sour gum. 
It is with much pleasure that the writer names this species in honor 
of Dr. Henry Fox. Dr. Fox has made collections in Indiana, Virginia, 
Tennessee, and Georgia which are invaluable in our studies of the dis- 
tribution, food plants, and ecological relations of the Phyllophagae. 
PHYLLOPHAGA IMPAR, Nl. Sp. 
This very interesting species, occurring, according to our records, 
only in the Carolinas, apparently belongs to the ephilida group of Horn’s 
synopsis, but is quite distinct from all described species belonging to that 
group. It has been designated in the writers determinations as new 
species “h”’. 
Body oblong, slightly broadest behind, reddish brown'or darker, the 
surface sometimes shining but usually more or less pruinose, and in one 
specimen the surface has a dull smoky appearance such as sometimes 
occurs in P. prununculina. Clypeus feebly emarginate, moderately re- 
flexed, shining, with punctures varying from comparatively sparse to 
moderately closely placed, front similarly punctate. Thorax narrow at 
front, being little more than half the greatest width, width at middle very 
little if any less than basal width, punctures moderately sparse. Elytra 
more coarsely and apparently more closely punctate than thorax, costae, 
excepting the sutural, indistinct or absent. Scutellum smooth or with a 
few very indistinct punctures. Pygidium with a moderate number of 
fine punctures. Metasternum only moderately hairy. Claws strongly 
arcuate and with a moderately large median tooth. Length, 13 mm. 
Male.—Antenna 10-segmented, the club as long as the stem. Abdo- 
men almost imperceptibly flattened on median ventrum, the penultimate
