By CARL J. DRAKE 
Corythucha baccharidis n. sp. 
Antennae clothed with a few long hairs. Rostrum reaching almost to the 
end of the rostral sulcus. Pronotum with the lateral carinae short, curved, 
strongly raised, each composed of two cells and terminating about equi- 
distant from the hood and median carina; median carina strongly elevated 
anteriorly, rather short, not quite half as long as the hood, its height a 
little more than half its length, composed of five or six cells (two rows 
anteriorly). Paranota with the reticulations smaller than those of the 
hood, the outer margins armed with a double row of spines (extra sub- 
marginal row as in C. mcelfreshi). Hood prominent, broad, moderately 
elevated, slightly constricted at the middle, not strongly narrowed ante- 
riorly, slightly broader than high, the width about seven-tenths of the 
length. Costal margins of the elytra slightly incurved or nearly straight, 
the spines moderately long and extending to the basal third. Tumid eleva- 
tions of elytra large and rounded; costal area largely triseriate (two to 
three rows of areolae). Length (male), 4.1 mm.; width, 2.8 mm. The 
female is a little larger and broader than the male. 
General color yellowish white, the fuscous markings more prominent than 
in C. mcelfreshi. Most of the nervelets of the hood, save sides of anterior 
portion, a large spot on median carina, a spot on the tumid elevation, part 
of sutural area, and the basal and apical cross-bands of elytra fuscous. The 
apical band has a rather broad hyaline streak and forms almost a double 
cross-band. Areolae hyaline, partly clouded in the fuscous areas. Body 
beneath dark reddish brown or black. 
Several specimens, collected on Baccharis sp. at Paradise Keys, 
Fla., Feb., by Dr. E. A. Schwarz; one specimen, Miami, Fla., 
Aug. 2, 1902, by Mr. Russell. Type (male, Nat. Mus., No.
