[March 
insularis with brown instead of pale lateral thoracic markings. 
Allochrysa virginica ocala Banks 1938: 122. Type: “Lloyd Sink, Jefferson Co., Fla., 
G. Fairchild coll., Aug. 9, 1935”, female, MCZ No. 23184 (examined). 
Maculation of this species shows geographic as well as individual 
variation. Specimens from Florida, Alabama, and the Antilles have 
a red or brown V mark on vertex bordering antennal fossae and 
genae are red marked (L. insularis ocala). In Georgia and Alabama 
the V mark, if present, is faint. North of Georgia, the vertex marks 
are absent and genae are brown marked or pale. The mesonotum 
bears two brown spots on the prescutal-scutal suture on lightly 
marked specimens; on heavily marked examples (“L. joannisi”) 
nearly the entire pteronotum is brown or black. The holotype of 
L. insularis has most of the transverse veins in the forewing dark 
marked. In Florida specimens, the inner gradates are paler, costals 
pale; dark transverse veins include outer gradates (except apical 3 
or 4), ends of proximal r’s, 1-3 m, the cubitals, and ends of the anals. 
The gradates are often bordered by a dark streak. North of Flor- 
ida, transverse veins are paler. 
Male genitalia. Sterna except ninth with microtholi; apex of 
ninth sternum slightly notched with a small field of lanceolate gono- 
cristae each side (Fig. 10). Mediuncus with median sclerotized band 
and hook, confluent with semimembranous lateral lobes, gonosac- 
cus without setae (Fig. 1 1). Laterally to gonarcus a pair of delicate 
digitiform membranous sacs (Fig. 10), ventrally a pair of lightly 
sclerotized lobes connected by a membranous flap (shown with- 
drawn in Fig. 10). A membranous lobe between gonopore and 
ninth sternite. 
Female genitalia. Subgenitale (Fig. 16) broadly sclerotized, ex- 
panded anteriorly as pit-bearing lobe adjacent to seventh sternite. 
Bursal gland ducts very long, unbranched, bursal duct inconspicu- 
ous. 
The form of the mediuncus is typical for a Leucochrysa, but the 
ventral sclerotized lobes are highly distinctive. 
Distribution. Coastal states from Massachusetts to Florida, 
Puerto Rico, Cuba and Jamaica, also West Virginia, Tennessee 
(Bickley and MacLeod 1956), Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and 
Missouri. Range extensions: Ala.: Wilson Dam, F. Q. 9— VIII— 1 94 1 ,
