Cregya leucophcea Schklg., Deutsch. Ent. Zeit., 1906, p. 316; 

 Schklg., Deutsch. Ent. Zeit.. 1907, p. 299. 



Elongate, fuscous, clothed with semierect pale hairs; head and 

 thorax maculate with luteous; elytra with broad median fascia white. 

 basal portion fuscous, more or less maculate with luteous and white, 

 apical fourth luteous. Antennte eleven-jointed, pale testaceous; 

 last three joints (apex of eleventh excepted) fuscous. Head densely 

 punctate, finely scabrous, fuscous, with a median longitudinal luteous 

 maculation; eyes rather prominent. Thorax slightly longer than 

 broad, narrower at base than at apex; sides at apical third feebly 

 arcuate and subparallel, at basal third somewhat broader, then 

 suddenly narrowing to base; disk convex, surface very irregular, 

 the elevations luteous; a fine impressed median line sometimes 

 present; rather finely, not very densely punctate. Elytra three times 

 as long as the thorax; sides of basal fourth parallel, moderately 

 widening posteriorly; apices separately rounded, very coarsely. 

 deeply punctate; seriate except at apex and at base, where the punc- 

 tures are more or less confluent; punctures smaller and very sparse 

 at middle near suture; fuscous, with a very broad, irregular median 

 white fascia, which sometimes ascends along the suture to the scu- 

 tellum and is usually marked with small fuscous spots at the middle 

 and near the flanks; the white fascia bordered posteriorly by an 

 irregular fuscous line of variable proportions; the fuscous base and 

 luteous apex maculate with white; the humeri usually luteous. 

 Body beneath and abdomen fuscous, the apical segment and usually 

 a large lateral maculation on all the others yellowish. Legs pale; 

 the anterior pair fuscous, except at base of femora and apex of tibiae; 

 the middle and posterior pair with a fuscous fascia at middle; the 

 tibia:' rarely with the apical half fuscous; tarsi pale. Length 7.511 

 niillim. 



No species of Cregya has, perhaps, been the cause of greater con- 

 fusion than the present one, as is shown by the synonymy given 

 above. Klug in the original description of this species gives Brazil 

 as the habitat, but Mr. Sigmund Schenkling, by whom the type 

 specimen has been examined, states that the locality label thereon 

 bears the words " Amer. Sept." 



Occurs on Rhus radians (LeConte). 



Hab. — Florida (Enterprise); Alabama; Washington, D. C. ; 

 New Jersey (Westville) ; Pennsylvania (Allegheny Co.) ; Illinois
