LEPTOGLOSSUS ASHMEADI 



This species comes from the collection of the late Dr. W. 

 H. Ashmead where it was labeled as unique. He had found it 

 while residing in Florida. Lately I had an opportunity to see 

 another specimen, also a female, which my friend E. P. Van 

 Duzee captured last summer on his trip in Florida. This new 

 species will be recognized at once from other Leptoglossus 

 species by its vivid orange color pattern. It is most nearly 

 related to Leptoglossus oppositus Say in the shape of the folia- 

 ceous part of the hind tibise. I take pleasure in dedicating the 

 species to the late Dr. W. H. Ashmead.
