Chelinidea vittiger subspecies vittiger Uhler. 
Chelinidea vittiger Uhler, P. R. Hemipterological Contributions 
—No:)25) Proc, Ent. Soc: Philadelphia: Miiyp: 366, Dec 1863 
[Utah, Fort Benton, Virginia and Louisiana]. 
Typically this subspecies has the head black with a strongly 
contrasting median yellow vitta; no specimens entirely lack these 
markings, though in some of the form mentioned hereafter the 
general color of head fades to pale brownish yellow. The typical 
form of subspecies wittiger has the antenne and legs black, and 
in most cases dark markings on both anterior and posterior parts 
of pronotum. 
A variety which I call artuflava new variety has the antenne 
and legs chiefly or entirely yellow to orange; and usually lacks 
the anterior and sometimes all dark markings on thorax. 
The specimen of C. wittiger in National Collection labelled as 
Uhler’s type bears no other data. Since Virginia and Louisiana 
specimens belong to the new subspecies described hereafter, these 
localities, although mentioned by Uhler in connection with the 
original description, are eliminated from consideration of the type 
locality of wittiger. Two localities remain: Utah and Fort Ben- 
ton. An entire state is too indefinite for a type locality, hence I 
select Fort Benton, Montana, as the type locality of Chelimdea 
vittiger vittiger Uhler.
