Fulicoffula americana Emerson, 1960b. J. Kansas Ent. Soc, 33: 



162, figs. 1-4. 

 Type host: Porzana Carolina (Linnaeus) — Sora. 



Head wider in male than in female. Temples rounded with a long 

 seta at each posterolateral angle. Prothorax square with rounded 

 angles; pterothorax longer than wide with 2 setae at each postero- 

 lateral angle. Abdomen elongate with segments VI-VIII short in the 

 male; a pair of short setae on each tergite and sternite. Female 

 genital plate with a fringe of fine hairs; male genitalia with a 

 prominent mesosomal plate. 



There are 2 species of Fulicoffula found on Porzana Carolina, 

 therefore, all records prior to the publication by Emerson (1960b) are 

 subject to re-examination. He reports this species from New York, 

 Oklahoma, Virginia and Kansas.
