Head with five very long acute spines. Antennae slender, beset with nu¬ 
merous short hairs; first segment swollen, twice the length of the second; second 
short, slightly less swollen; third segment very long, slender; fourth segment 
rather long, apical third slightly swollen. Rostrum long, almost reaching the 
end of the rostral groove. Membranous pronotal margins greatly dilated, composed 
of five areolae (anterior and posterior areolae very small, the other three large 
and transverse). Pronotal hood extending slightly over the base of the head. 
Discal hood very large, globose, divided in the middle behind. Median carina 
foliaceous, composed of a single series of areolae, extending from the posterior 
end of the pronotum forward between the divided discal hood. Elytra with the 
basal angle deeply sinuate, composed of large areolae; costal area wide, composed 
of a single row of mostly large quadrate areolae. Length, 4.2 mm.; width, 2.3 mm. 
Color: Head and body black. Antennae yellowish; apical segment em¬ 
browned. Legs yellowish; tarsi fuscous. Nervures of hood, pronotal margins, 
and elytra more or less embrowned or fuscous; areolae hyaline, except a few 
clouded ones on the discal vesicle. 
This curious insect has not been taken in the state. It is recorded for 
Massachusetts (Parshley), Canada (Van Duzee), Wisconsin (Ash- 
mead), and New Mexico (Uhler). 
Genus Leptostyla Stal.

The genus includes three Nearctic species. Antennae long, slender; 
first segment from two to five times as long as the second; second seg¬ 
ment short; third segment very long, cylindrical; fourth segment more 
or less swollen towards the apex, longer than the first. Rostral sulcus 
uninterrupted by a transverse ridge between the meso- and metasternum; 
rostrum reaching the meso-metasternal suture, sometimes shorter or 
longer. Pronotum tricarinate; membranous margins moderately wide. 
The hood varies in size. Elytra without a tumid elevation, constricted 
about the middle, gradually widening towards the apex, extending far 
beyond the tip of the abdomen; costal area more or less widely reticu¬ 
lated, with one, two, three, or more irregular rows of areolae; subcostal 
area sometimes very narrow, with one, two, or three rows of areolae; 
discoidal area not reaching the middle of the elytra, with three or four 
rows of small areolae; sutural area more or less widelv reticulated. 
Wings not reaching or extending slightly beyond the apex of the abdo¬ 
men.
