Family Acanaloniidae 
In this family Guerin, Melichar, Osborn and Myers all 
record Acanalonia servillei Spinola from Cuba; Osborn 
records Acanalonia sublinea Walker ; and Myers records an 
undetermined species. Our collection contains no less than 
seven species as indicated below. 
Acanalonia servillei Spinola 
This well known species has a wide distribution in the 
Southeastern states, having been recorded from Pennsyl- 
vania to Florida and in Cuba and Jamaica. We are inclined 
to question the Pennsylvania record of Amyot and Serville 
1843a : 520. The short description would fit Acanalonia 
latifrons Walker, which was described later equally well 
and latifrons is the more northern species. The length 
given, 10 mm., is much nearer the average length of lati- 
frons than it is of servillei. According to Melichar 1901a : 
186 and Dozier 1928a: 110, this species is also found in 
South America but according to Distant 1910a: 298 the 
South American species is A. laurifolia Walker, which is 
distinct. Servillei may be recognized by its large size, 
14-15 mm. to tip of wings, nearly uniform green color with 
the apical border of the wings marked by short brown 
dashes. The last ventral segment of the female is short 
with a short but distinct median flap with a curved posterior 
border. The width of the median flap is about one-fifth the 
width of the entire segment. In the male the genital plates 
are very broad, about three-fourths as broad as long. The 
tenth segment is short and broad, not reaching the apex of 
the genital plates. Anal style short, reaching about one- 
third the distance to the apex of the tenth segment ; broadly 
spatulate in outline, bulbous at the base.
