50 CONNECTICUT GEOL. AND NAT. HIST. SURVEY. [Bull. 



P. delicatus Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 237, 1897. 



Distinct by its pale fulvous color with the legs lineate with brown 

 and the elytra bordered behind with white. It is distributed from 

 New Jersey to California and might be found in southern 

 Connecticut. 

 P. guttatus Spooner. 



Can. Ent., xliv, 233, 1912. 



As suggested by Mr. Spooner, this will probably prove to be a 

 distinct species from delicatus. It differs in having the head and 

 pronotum nearly black, the latter bordered behind with white, the 

 white on the apical margin of the elytra fading out toward either 

 angle, and the legs without brown lines. It has been taken from 

 southern Ontario to Florida and must occur in Connecticut. 

 P. dorsalis Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 239, 1897. 



This species is intermediate between the two sections of the 

 genus and serves to connect them. It has the opaque body of 

 the brunneus group with the polished elytra and obscure neuration 

 found in the marginatus group. It has been reported from New 

 York and Ohio and may occur in Connecticut. 

 P. brunneus Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 239, 1897. 



A plain looking little species well distinguished by the pale elytral 

 neuration and bears no resemblance to pallipes as suggested by 

 Mr. Crawford. It is found throughout the eastern states and 

 Canada. 



Huntington, 9 July, 1920, New Haven, 14 June-3 Oct., 1920 (B. H. W.). 

 P. aphidioides Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 239, 1897. 



A large species much resembling brunneus but well distinguished 

 by the maculated face. It inhabits the other eastern states and 

 doubtless Connecticut. Pissonotus frontalis Crawford is a closely 

 related western species. 



Phyllodinus Van Duzee. 



Readily distinguished from related genera by the foliaceous 

 tibiae. The typical species is opaque brown with a broad head 

 and maculated front, while flabellatus is somewhat polished and 

 has a narrower head.
