iron wood, Carpinus caroliniana, at Yokena, Miss., July 20, 

 1921. These specimens were compared with material in the 

 Ball collection determined as this species. 



Anotia robertsonii FITCH 

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



Fitch states "Very similar to the Burnetii, appearing to differ 

 only in having the tips of the antennae and its feet blackish or dusky 

 and the back of the abdomen white without any blackish discoloration. 

 Two specimens sent me from west of Arkansas, by W. S. Robertson." 



The species has never been re-taken since the original 

 collection. 



Anotia Kirkaldyi BALL 

 (1902 Can. Ent., 34, p. 259) 



The original description is here quoted. 



"Form and general appearance of Amalopota fitchi, but 

 broader and less definitely marked. Form of A. Burnetii , 

 but with a sharp head and blunter elytra. Length, including 

 elytra, 6.5 mm. 



Vertex slightly broader than in Burnetii, inclined upward, nearly 

 flat, not rounding over at apex as in that species; elytra broader 

 towards apices than in Burnetii; venation very similar, but with the 

 median nervure not forked beyond the cross-vein, and the first branch 

 of the post-costal nervure coming off close to the cross-vein and at 

 nearly right angles to the nervure. Costal appendix larger than in 

 Burnetii, obliquely truncate posteriorly. 



Color: pale creamy, slightly tinged with testaceous, a pale testa- 

 ceous stripe runs from the eye forward to the apex of vertex, and 

 another from below the eye downward to the front; elytra milky 

 subhyaline, a faint smoky or testaceous spot near base, a smoky 

 transverse band half way to apex of clypeus, another partial band 

 extending to the sutural margin, down the median to the cross ner- 

 vure, and then out that to the post-costal; beyond this nearly all the 

 nervures are broadly smoky margined, leaving a light patch in 

 each anteapical cell and a light spot on apex of each apical nervure; 

 the costal margin beyond the middle, the costal nervures, the apical 

 margin, the apical nervures, except their apices and a section of the 

 postcostal beyond the cross nervure, testaceous. 



Described from a single specimen collected by the author, 

 at Ames, Iowa." 



A specimen collected by the writer at Lucedale, Miss., 

 Sept. 11, 1920, was compared with the type in the Ball 

 collection and although slightly lighter in markings, prob- 

 ably is this species.
