brown; closely related to geneseensis, but differs in the male 

 claspers, in being more robust, in having a shorter rostrum, in 

 that apical half of antennal segment ii is infuscated, and having in 

 general a richer yellowish brown color. 



Female: Length 5.3 mm., width 2.28 mm.; width of head 

 1.03 mm., vertex .45 mm.; very similar to the male in coloration 

 but usually not so dark; distinguished from geneseensis by the 

 shortness of rostrum, which scarcely attains posterior margins of 

 intermediate coxae, and by the second antennal segment which is 

 darkened on apical half. 



Breeds on Viburnum lentago.

 not having the blackish rays on pronotum clearly defined as spots, 

 and in general by the more brownish coloration.
