Plagiognathus reinhardi Johnston, 1935: 16 View in CoL (n. sp.).

This small red species, which breeds on Crataegus spp. in the southern United States, has been placed in Plagiognathus View in CoL on the basis of superficial appearance. Several features mitigate against such placement, however. Notable among these are the antennae, in which the second antennal segment is sexually dimorphic, being cylindrical and mod­ erately enlarged in the male and more slender and tapered toward the base in the female. This type of antennal conformation occurs in no species that I have placed in Plagiognathus View in CoL . Furthermore, the vesica in the male, although having two apical projections, is unlike that of any other species that I have placed in Plagiognathus View in CoL . For these reasons, I am treating reinhardi View in CoL as incertae sedis.
