Cyrpoptus reineckei VAN DUZEE 

 (1909 Bui. Buf. Soc. Nat. Sci., ix, p. 185). 



Known heretofore only from Florida. It has the form 

 of C. belfragei but is smaller and distinguished by having 

 the posterior half of the elytra hyaline with its fuscous 

 apex bisected by an oblique hyaline vitta. 



Fig. 10 Cyrpoptus reineckei Van D., enlarged (from Van Duzee) 



Dull testaceous brown, more or less tinged with ferrugineous, 

 especially on the base of the elytra ; the vertex, pronotum and scutellum 

 minutely irrorate with pale. Vertex obviously longer than the pro- 

 notum, rounded or but feebly angled before, nearly straight across 

 the middle of the basal margin; median line with a broad sulcate 

 carina. Frons transverse, longitudinally minutely striate, sides sin- 

 uated, apex concavely arcuated; pale testaceous with a lighter indeter- 

 minate apical band which covers the lateral pleural pieces. The apical 

 two-thirds of the clypeus, the fore and intermediate legs black ir- 

 rorate with pale. Pronotum very feebly emarginate behind, truncate 

 before, the median line carinate; disc either side with a round im- 

 pressed dot. Scutellum ecarinate or nearly so, marked with two dark 

 impressed dots near margin before the apex. Elytra long, obliquely 

 truncated but not as strongly narrowed there as in belfragei, the 

 outer apical angle rounded; the costa feebly sinuated beyond the 

 middle; inner ulnar nervure twice forked beyond the middle, the 

 outer ulnar forked near its base but distinctly farther than in belfra- 

 gei, its two branches simple until lost in the confused venation of 

 the apical portion; ferrugineous or almost coccineous on the basal 

 half of the elytra, sometimes obscurely clouded with fuscous in places, 

 the apical half hyaline, fusco-venose, with a large fuscous cloud at 

 apex which is bisected by an oblique hyaline vitta from the outer 

 angle. Wings coccineous at base, then fuscous for a space and again 

 along the immediate apex, the intermediate surface hyaline with fus-
