Lasiochilus hirtellus Drake & Harris, 1926: 33 .

Diagnostic characters: Measurements, see Table VI. Male: Oblong oval. Dorsally with long, sparse setae. General coloration brown testaceous; head and pronotum shiny, hemelytra opaque; antennae testaceous to rufo-testaceous, eyes dark reddish; ocelli reddish, legs pale yellowish; male antennal segments (I:II:III:IV) 1: 2.8: 2.3: 2.1. Head longer than wide (considering postocular region). Pronotum smooth, strongly narrowing to apex; anterior lobe with a well-marked midfovea; short transverse sulcus in front of posterior lobe. Sixth abdominal segment with grouping of very short and thick copulatory teeth on apical left margin ( Fig. 215 View FIGURES 215–216 ). Genitalia: Pygophore ( Fig. 216 View FIGURES 215–216 ) with left paramere long, wide and angulated, acute apically. Female: antennal segments (I:II:III:IV) 1: 2.7: 2.3: 2.1. Similar to male in coloration.

Distribution: USA, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Panama, Colombia. ( Fig. 200 View FIGURE 200 ).

USNM; 2 ♀, 2 ♂ Same locality, 30-V/ 1-VI-1975. USNM; ♂ Idem. MACN; CUBA: ♀ on Mustard greens, N. Y. City, 23-I-1942. USNM; HAITI: ♀ Miami 604, 29-IV-1948, -8783, Misc. Cuttings. USNM.

Discussion: Differs from L. pallidulus , the close related species, by its having a shorter, wider left paramere, that is not curved apically, and by the shorter interocular space.
