knobbed median process; genital styles long, touching in the middle, 

 enlarging slightly and then obliquely diverged downwards, very hir- 

 sute. 



Length of body 4 mm.; length to tip of elytra 5.50 mm. 

 A number were taken by C. J. Drake and the writer 

 while sweeping in low deciduous woods near river bank at 

 Columbus, Miss., June 23, 1921. I suspect that the Arrow- 

 head, Sagittaria latifolia, is one of its food plants. Several 

 were also taken by sweeping the grassy floor of a stretch 

 of open high pine land near Columbus, Miss., June 25, 1921. 



Myndus sordidipennis STAL 

 (1862 Ber. Ent. Zeit, vi, p. 307) 



Recorded from Ont, N. Y., N. J., Pa., Fla., and Colo. 

 Distinguished from its nearest ally, pictifrons, by its 

 sordid elytra which lack any definite banding. 



Yellowish-testaceous, beneath and the legs paler. Vertex broad, 

 the margins feebly carinate. Frons with median carina distinct 

 throughout its length, pale whitish, with a broad basal and an apical 

 band, blackish. Eyes large, dark brown. Elytra sordid testaceous, 

 the veins more or less fuscous and granulated. 



Length of body 3.5 mm.; length to tip of elytra 5 mm. 



Redescribed from a pair from Westfield, N. J., July 16, 

 1904, and single females from Philadelphia, Pa., June 10, 

 1897; Pt. Pleasant, N. J., July 27, 1905; Washington, D. C., 

 June 25, 1905, E. P. Van Duzee; and Ironton, Ohio, May 

 26; all in the private collection of Prof. H. Osborn. 



Myndus delicatus VAN DUZEE 

 (1908 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., lix, p. 492) 



Known only from North Carolina. 

 The original description is quoted here. 



"Closely allied to sordidipennis, but a little smaller and paler. 

 Vertex a little narrower anteriorly, the sides almost parallel before 

 the middle; in sordidipennis these sides converge nearly to their 

 apex; black with a broad longitudinal line toward the apex pale 

 fulvous. Eyes black with their inner edges slenderly pale. Front 

 rounded ovate; yellowish white with a black band across the base 

 and apex; these bands a little narrower than in the allied species; 

 carinae on the apex of the head pale, lower down on the front the 

 lateral carinae become blackish within. Clypeus soiled white. Pro- 

 notum about as wide as in the same sex of sordidipennis; the
