Catonia luella METCALF 

 (1923 Jr. Elisha Mitchell Soc., 38, p. 177). 



Known only from Florida. "This species may be recog- 

 nized by its small size, blackish color, veins of the wings 

 impunctate, the cells with numerous small round pale spots. 



Vertex narrow, rounded before, the carinae strongly elevated; 

 frons broad, not distinctly narrowed between the eyes; clypeus broad, 

 shallowly inserted in the frons; pronotum rather elongate, the carinae 

 strongly elevated, the links of the lateral chain distinct; mesonotum 

 tricarinate; the lateral carinae but slightly divergent; fore wings 

 with the veins impunctate. 



Color: General color blackish fuscous; frons nearly unicolorous; 

 the lateral carinae a little paler; eyes black; mesonotum blackish 

 fuscous, with two indistinct ocellated spots on the anterior margin, 

 two on the posterior margin; fore wings blackish fuscous, the veins 

 blackish, some of the cross veins at the apex narrowly pale; all of 

 the cells with numerous pale round spots; venter and legs blackish, 

 the latter more or less marked with pale. 



Length, apex of head to apex of abdomen, 3.00 mm.; to the apex 

 of wings 3.70 mm." 



Catonia pini METCALF 

 (1923 Jr. Elisha Mitchell Soc., 38, p. 177). 



Known only from North Carolina. "This species may 

 be recognized by its large size, uniform mesonotum, strongly 

 variegated wings, the frons brownish with a narrow pale 

 transverse band. 



Vertex produced, obtusely rounded anteriorly; frons narrow at 

 the base, widened apically, the lateral margins a little arcuate; 

 median carina faint, lateral margins strongly elevated ; wings strongly 

 punctate.
