common in the vicinity of Washington, D. C., on fringe-tree 
(Chionanthus virginica L.) and on various species of ash (Frax- 
inus).” To these localities I can add Michigan, Illinois, Mary- 
land, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. My Texas specimens bear 
the food plant label “ Adelia acuminata.” Heidemann collected a 
long series of specimens “at light” at Forest Glen, Md., June 
6, 1914. 
Dichocysta pictipes Champion. A single specimen of this 
species was taken by the author while sweeping shrubs in a ham- 
mock on the University of Florida Campus at Gainesville, Fla., 
June 14, 1918. It has been collected in Arizona by Prof. Barber. 
Hesperotingis illinoiensis n. sp. 
Head with long stout spines; median spine suberect; lateral spines por- 
rect or approximating at their tips; dorsal spine very long, contiguous with 
surface of the head. Antenne stout, reaching beyond the base of the 
elytra, slightly pubescent, the basal segment! thicker and longer than the 
second; third segment long, very large, clavate, much longer than in an- 
tennata Parsh.; fourth segment nearly elliptical, longer than the first and 
shorter than the first’ and second segments taken together. Pronotum 
coarsely punctate, tricarinate, the carinze moderately raised, rather thick, 
uniseriate; paranota uniseriate, nearly vertical. -Buccule broad, reticulate. 
Rostrum extending to the intermediate coxe, the rostral groove widened 
posteriorly. Legs moderately stout. Elytra extending considerably be- 
yond the apex of the abdomen, broadly rounded at the apices; costal area 
broad, biseriate to beyond the middle and triseriate for a short distance 
towards the apex, the areole moderately large and somewhat regularly 
arranged; subcostal area almost entirely biseriate; discoidal area broad, 
extending beyond the middle of the elytra, the outer margin curved. 
Length, 4.1-4.6 mm.; width, 2 mm. 
Color.—General color above uniform yellowish brown, slightly darkened 
in the type. Body beneath, legs and antennz brown, the tarsi and the 
distal half of third and fourth antennal segments blackish. 
Three specimens taken at Palos Park, Ie July 16, 1908, by 
Mr. W. J. Gerhard. In one specimen the costal area on one side 
is entirely biseriate and on the other sides as described above. 
The type has the wings a little longer, about .5 mm., than the 
other two specimens and is a little darker in color. The broad 
costal area readily separates this insect from either antennata 
Parshley or fuscata Parshley. 
Type in Cornell University collection; paratype in the author’s 
collection, Syracuse, Ni. Yi:
