MULCTICOLA 



Mulctioola Clay and Meinertzhagen, 1938. Entomologist, 71: 279. 

 Type species: Esthioptevvm hypoleucun (Denny, 1842). 



Head with rounded or flattened hyaline anterior margin; clypeal 

 suture distinct and prolonged inward, dorsally on each side, to form a 

 narrow and irregular suture, which is continued backwards along the 

 median line of the head to a point just behind the posterior margin of 

 the clypeal signature; trabeculae small; antennae filiform and similar 

 in the 2 sexes. Thorax with lateral margins of both pro- and ptero- 

 thorax flattened and diverging distally to a slight extent. Abdomen 

 elongated, with segment 1 short and with 9 segments in both sexes. 

 Pleurites distinct, with elongated pointed re-entrant heads. Genitalia 

 with short basal plate; parameres prolonged, pointed and somewhat 

 curved distally; endomeres straight, pointed terminally and shorter 

 than parameres; telomeres small but distinct. 



Muloticola macrooephalus (Kellogg, 1896) 



Lipeurus macrooephalus Kellogg, 1896. Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., 6: 



504, pi. 68, fig. 3. 

 Nirmus tyrannus Osborn, 1896. Bull. U. S. Bur. Ent . (n. s.), 5: 



228. 

 Type host: Chovdeiles minor (Forster) — Common Nighthawk. 



Described by Kellogg from many specimens collected in California. 

 This species has also been reported by Peters (1936) from Maine, New 

 Hampshire and South Carolina. Muloticola macrooephalus (Kellogg, 1896) 

 is the only known species of the genus found in North America. The 

 genus description is sufficient to determine this species.
