two pairs of slender and acute lateral processes and a large curved ter- 

 minal process, the blunt tip of which is serrate on the dorsal margin. 



Distribution: Probably occurs throughout the eastern part 

 of the state. Reported from Dauglas, Pottawatomie and Riley 

 counties. 



Hosts: Very common on grape and easily gathered from 

 leaves in winter. McAtee also gives hickory as a host. 



Genus ERYTHRONEURA Fh. 



The members of this genus are very similar to the members 

 of the genus Typhlocyba, but differ in having the second apical 

 cell of the elytra completely separating the first and third 

 apical cells. The hind wings lack a marginal vein and there 

 are but three sectors extending to the margin. 



After studying the internal male genitalia of the material 

 available we find our state list to contain thirteen species and 

 five varieties of this genus. In this paper six of the varieties 

 have been given specific rank.
