head. Elytra pale clear yellowish, spotted hyaline; an oblique nerve 

 behind the middle black, costa towards the apex with fine transverse, 

 sanguineous veins; on the apex itself are four blackish dots. Wings 

 subhyaline. 



Elytral expansion about 11 mm. 

 Nothing is known of its food plants or life history. 



Anotia westwoodi FITCH 

 (1856 Trans. N. Y. State Agr. Soc., xvi, p. 394) 



Recorded from New York, Ohio, and Kansas. 



This species was for a long time confused with bonnetii 

 but the elytra have no tint of yellow and none of their 

 veinlets are black. 



The original description is here quoted. 



"Differs from Bonnetii, in that the wing covers have no tint of 

 yellow, and none of their veinlets are black. The veins and veinlets 

 are pallid, and for the most part are broadly margined with pale 

 brown, which color also forms an irregular band before and another 

 behind the middle, leaving large whitish hyaline spots in the inter- 

 vals. The rib vein commonly shows three or four blackish alterna- 

 tions forward of its middle, and there is also a short black streak 

 upon the middle of the inner margin. The wings are whitish hyaline 

 with a blue iridescence, and their veins are slender and whitish with 

 the veinlet at the apex of the outer discoidal cell robust, black, and 

 slightly margined with brown. The thorax is pale yellow, smooth 

 and shining, with three elevated white longitudinal lines. 



Length 0.15; to tip of the wings 0.25; width 0.45." 



Anotia burnetii FlTCH 

 (1856 Trans. N. Y. State Agr. Soc., xvi, p. 395) 



Recorded from New York, No. Car. and Illinois. 



Very closely related to bonnetii but readily distinguished from 

 westwoodi, bonnetii, and robertsonii by having a black strip above 

 along the middle of the three first segments of its abdomen. Body 

 white. Elytra milky- white, subhyaline, with faint clouds of a more 

 dusky tinge forming about three imperfect bands; the three veinlets 

 on the disk blackish. Same size as bonnetii. 



Fitch states that a single specimen was taken by Albert 

 G. Burnet, upon ash bushes beside the Henderson river in 

 Illinois. The writer took a female on a French mulberry 

 (Callicarpa americana) on a hillside near Vicksburg, Miss., 

 July 18, 1921, and several on the underside of leaves of
