where there was too much mixture of various plants to warrant 
the fixing of the host plant. For the other records no definite 
food plant has been given, so that we cannot assume to name the 
host species. 
This form agrees closely with the others of the fasciatus group 
in the cruciate marking upon the dorsum, making with these 
forms a distinct subdivision of the genus. They differ somewhat 
from the other members, but in view of the venation and the 
head characters it seems hardly desirable to separate them from 
the genus. 
Scaphoideus fasciatus Osb.

This species described in 1900 from Port au Prince Haiti, has 
been recognized by Van Duzee from Florida and is probably best 
retained as a distinct species, although it is certainly closely 
related to the succeeding species described to cover the southern 
form hitherto known as sanctus. In this species the head is 
rather short, the points at the tip of the vertex minute, the trans- 
verse band on the face double and continued laterally on the 
pleurae, and the length is about four millimeters. 
There is a specimen in the National Museum bearing a Ms. 
(apparentlyffmpublished) name from Granada which agrees closely 
with this species. Van Duzee records are for Crescent City and 
St. Petersburg, Fla.

Closely resembles fasciatus and cruciatus, but is larger and 
with the vertex more angular than the former, smaller, with 
different markings on vertex, face, femora, and genital plates than 
the latter. Length four to four and one-half millimeters. 
Vertex rounded, bluntly angular, about one and one-half times as long 
at center as next to the eye; the front broad at base, narrowing very uni- 
formly and rapidly to the clypeus; clypeus widening slightly to the apex; 
lorae moderate, rounded, not reaching the border of the cheeks, the border 
of the cheeks slightly sinuate; pronotum strongly arched in front, truncate, 
or very slightly emarginate on hind border; elytra with the venation as in 
related species, the reflexed costal veins distinctly and about equally 
oblique. 
Color, whitish ivory tinged with gray and marked with black ar.d 
brown; the vertex with transverse black bands just in front of the middle, a 
pair of minute, almost obsolete, black points near the apex, and four black- 
points on the hind border; the front with two black arcs next the vertex ; r.d 
a black band from below the eyes across the front just beneath the anten- 
nae; the apical portion of lorae and clypeus and sub-margin of checks black 
or dark brown; the anterior femora black above, yellowish at base ar.d 
apex and beneath, middle femora yellow with a black annulus at the tip; 
hind femora yellow, hind tibiae yellow with black points; tarsi yellow ar re- 
lated with black; pronotum ivory white in front, gray brown behind, with
