patch, elsewhere they are concolorous with the transparent elytra. 

 Wings clear, with fuscous tip and area at base smoky, slightly dif- 

 fused. Legs clear whitish, the posterior femora more or less invaded 

 with sanguineous. 



Length of body 3 mm.; length to tip of elytra 8 mm.; elytral 

 expansion 15 mm. 



Beaten by Van Duzee from maple in the state of New 

 York. Two specimens were taken by C. J. Drake at Gaines- 

 ville, Fla., May 4, 1918. The writer took several specimens 

 in deep deciduous woods, one of these on the underside 

 of a wild cherry leaf at Port Gibson, Miss., July 21, 1921, 

 and a specimen was taken by C. J. Drake at Natchez, Miss., 

 July 23, 1921. Mr. Geo. G. Ainslie collected a specimen 

 sweeping in woods at Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 13, 1915. 



Amalopota fitchi VAN DUZEE 

 (1893 Can. Ent., xxv, p. 280) 



Recorded from N. Y., Pa., N. C., and Kansas. 



Slightly smaller than the preceding and differently marked in 

 coloration. Pale yellowish-white, the elytra smoky, twice banded with 

 white, iridescent reflecting. 



Body color pale yellowish-white, the sides of the face with a faint 

 transverse carmine band between the base of the antennae and the 

 eye which is extended along the sides of the thorax where it becomes 

 darker. Vertex slightly shorter and broader posteriorly than in uhleri, 

 hind margin very feebly emarginate, apex of the pronotum not ad- 

 vanced beyond the base of the lateral carinae; the vertex, if viewed 

 from the side, is more angularly and slightly farther produced than in 

 uhleri, and with a more conspicuous notch at the base of the clypeus. 

 Antennae distinctly reddish in color, long, flattened, slightly narrowed 

 at base, obliquely cut off at tip, with the setigerous notch deeper than 

 in uhleri. Eyes black. Ocelli apparently lacking. Beak attaining the 

 apex of the hind coxae, the tip black. Elytra, when closed, extending 

 about two-thirds of their length beyond the abdomen, fuscous; a 

 basal yellowish spot on the costa including the rounded elytral ap- 

 pendage; beyond this are two rounded spots, a broad transverse 

 median band not touching the costa, and a large angular spot on 

 the third and fourth subapical areoles sending a branch to the apex 

 of the costa and another to the middle of the apical margin, whitish- 

 hyaline; the narrow costal area white with four brown spots, the 

 stigmatal deeper and crossed at apex by a heavy carmine veinlet; 

 the venation nearly the same as in uhleri but with fewer apical 

 areoles, these being ten in number from the tip of the clavus to the 

 apex of the subcostal nervure; subapical areoles six, of which the 

 first (outer) is large and oblong, the second small and triangular,
