As the record for fulvidorsum given in a previous list was based 
on a specimen from Vinton which proves to be collitus this name 
should be entered. Specimens of fulvidorsum were taken at 
Little Mt. by Mr. J. G. Sanders, Aug. 21, ’04, so this species will 
still be included in our state list. 
Phlepsius maculatus n. sp. Mottled with black and white 
with ramose lines on pronotum and elytra forming fairly well 
defined patches; female segment long, bisinuate, notched at 
middle. Length to tip of elytra 7.25 mm. 
Head barely wider than pronotum Vertex broad, slightlv 
longer at middle than next the eye ; anterior edge scarcely acute ; 
ocelli close to the margin of the eye; front broad, sides nearly 
parallel to below antennal pits then rapidly converging to base 
of clypeus; clypeus widening slightly to tip; lorae large, broad, 
extending from half way between antennal pits and clypeus 
almost to margin of cheek; pronotum short, anterior margin 
strongly curved; hind margin distinctly concave; elytra large 
slightly contracted behind clavus, apex slightly flaring. 
Color, white or cream, densely mottled or streaked with dark 
fuscous black; vertex having two quite strong patches on the 
posterior border, not quite touching the eyes with some faint 
lines at middle and at anterior margin; the front minutely dotted, 
with slight indication of regular arcs; clypeus, lorae and cheeks 
more faintly marked ; pronotum with dark confluent lines or spots 
forming a wavy, irregular band across the middle and another 
indefinite band on the posterior border ; scutellum with two discal 
points and broken border black; eh’tra with confluent dots or 
lines in all of the areoles forming a distinct black spot at middle 
of claval border and about four on costa; beneath gray, the fem- 
ora annulated with black, tibiae with black spots and annulus at 
apex; last joint of anterior and middle tarsi and apical portions 
of hind tarsal joints black; body gray with last ventral segment 
polished black except basal and lateral portion. 
Genitalia — last ventral segment of female twice as long as 
preceding, lateral margins strongly reflected, hind border deeply 
bisinuate; the central portion somewhat produced with rather 
deep notch at middle. 
This is a large and handsome form only a single specimen of . 
which was taken at Cedar Point, July 30, 1004. It is so distinct 
from any of the known species of the genus that it seems best to 
describe it even though but a single specimen is in hand.
