Schizonettra! fuxgicola. Walsh. 
Syn. Eriosoma fungicola. Walsh. 
Mr. Walsh describes this species, which I have not seen, as follows: 
“From recent specimens. Body black, with a plum-like bloom; 
basal half of abdomon and whole cf venter yellow. Antennae and legs 
black. Wings hyaline with a dusky tinge; veins dusky, black on the 
basal half of the costa; third discoidal hyaline nearly to its fork; 
stigma palish brown. Numerous individuals, unaccompanied by larvae, 
occurred on a large moist fungus a hundred yards from the nearest 
trees, which were all oaks. Beat solitary individuals unaccompanied 
bv larvae or wooly matter, on two separate occasions from oaks, which 
when dried differ only from the dried specimen of those found on 
fungus by the metathorax being varied with pale greenish, as well as 
the base of the abdomen. Lenth to tip of wings .12—.13 inch. 
The antennae do not quite attain the base of the first discoidal when 
the wings are expanded, and the stigma is rather more than twice as 
long as wide.” 
He also discribes a second species which is undoubtlv but a variety 
of S. fungicola. 
ScnizoNEURA cary^e Fitcli. Hickory-blight. 
Syn. Eriosoma cary 02 Fitch. 
The undersides of the limbs, particularly of bushes and young trees 
in shaded situations coated over with a white flocculent down, cover¬ 
ing and concealing multitudes of wooly plant-lice which are crowded 
together upon the bark, sucking its juices; the winged individuals of 
a black color, with the head, scutel and abdomen covered with a white 
cotton-like substance, their wings somewhat hyaline, the forward pair 
with an oval salt-white spot or stigma towards the tip of their outer 
margin; their veins all very faintly traced or abortive. Length to the 
tip of the wings 0.12. 
It was found common upon walnut bushes growing along Hender¬ 
son river, in Illinois, a few years since. (Fitch). 
I have not observed this species in the Southern part of Illinois, 
though it is very probably found throughout the Slate.
