Treatment

Bactericera arcuata ( Tuthill, 1942) View in CoL

Materials examined. USA: Florida: Holmes County: 1♀ paratype, Ponce de Leon, 13.vii.1934 (R.H. Beamer) ( USNM, dry mounted).

Diagnosis. Description by Tuthill (1942).

Distribution. Bactericera arcuata is known presently only from Florida (Holmes County) ( Hodkinson 1988).

Host plants. Unknown.

Comments. Tuthill (1942) suggested that “this species is quite distinct from schwarzii ”. The female paratype we examined (USNM) seems within the range of morphological variation of Bactericera schwarzii and we suspect that the two are synonymous, but more material is required to solve this problem.
