WINTER NUMBER Al 
in front of the middle) of the median carina. Length, 4.15 mm.; 
width, 2 mm. 
Antennae long, clothed with numerous long hairs; first segment two and 
a half times as long as the second; third segment very slender, two and 
a third times as long as the fourth, the latter a little longer than the first 
and second conjoined. Rostrum reaching almost to the end of rostral sulcus, 
the rostral laminae strongly elevated. Paranota angularly expanded, with 
four rows of areolae at its widest part. Hood somewhat conical, moderately 
elevated. Carinae rather strongly elevated, each composed of a single row 
of rather large areolae; median carina with a strongly raised arched place 
a little in front of the middle (much more so than in tiliae or amorphae). 
Costal area of the elytra with four rows of areolae at the widest place; 
subcostal area biseriate; discoidal area with four rows of areolae at widest 
part, not quite so broadly expanded at the apex as in amorphae. Paranota, 
carinae, pronotum moderately hairy. Basal portion of elytra sparsely hairy. 
Antennae and legs brownish, the tarsi and fourth antennal segments 
black. Head and eyes black, the spines brown or testaceous. Thorax be- 
neath black, the rostral laminae and bucculae yellowish brown. Abdomen 
beneath reddish brown to nearly black. Hood, carinae and elytra testa- 
ceous, four or five oblique nervures of the latter and a small spical spot 
in discoidal area brown or fuscous. Pronotum blackish. 
One female and three male specimens, taken at Tampico 
(xii-5) and Tamos (xii-7-09) Mexico, by F. C. Bishop. Type 
No. 25,187 U. S. N. M. (female) from Tampico, Mexico. 
Gargaphia tiliae Walsh 
This species is identical with G. fasciata Stal from Illinois. 
Gibson, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., XLV, 1919, p. 191,196, has 
erroneously treated fasciata Stal (specimens from Alabama det. 
fasciata by Champion) and the latter cannot be given specific 
rank. Tiliae is a rather variable species in size, length of spines 
on the head and color of elytra. In many specimens there is no 
darkening of the nervures (forming a transverse fascia) of the 
elytra. The costal and subcostal areas are variable in size and 
number of rows of areolae. 
Gargaphia munda Stal 
This is a common and widely distributed species in South 
America. Leptostyla lineifera Walker (fide Blair of British 
Museum) is a synonym of munda. G. magna Gibson is a very 
closely related species. 
Gargaphia condensa Gibson 
G. condensa Gibson and G. carinata Gibson are identical and 
were described from the same series of specimens from Santa 
Rita Mountains, Arizona. Condensa is very closely related to 
G. iridenscens Champion.
