Apion lrosfl Kissinger Figs. 92, 93; Map 18 Apion /rosfi Kissinger, 1 968 : 45 (holotype, Hopkinton, Mass. ; MCZ) ; O'Brien and Wibmer 1982:23. Description. Length 2.2-2.6 mm. Body moderately elongate, dark chestnut brown. Pubescence conspicuous, consisting of white, off-white, and dark scales; scales on basal and apical regions of elytra lighter, separated by transverse bands offiner, darker scales appearing as dark band slightly below middle; scales on basal part of metepisternum denser and in wider band than in apical region. Frons wider than dorsal tip of rostrum. Rostrum of male slightly curved, about L.4-1.5 times longer than pronotum; sides, in dorsal view, nearly parallel to tip, sometimes weakly expanded at antennal insertion; surface dull, minutely reticulate, with obscure punctures and sparse, scattered scales. Rostrum of female very long, 2.0-2.7 times longer than pronotum, otherwise similar to male. Antennae inserted in front of eye at distance greater than length ofeye. Eyes prominent, strongly convex. Pronotum at base about 1.1 times wider than long; sides distinctly arcuate, abruptly rounded at constricted apex; disc slightly conyex, transversely impressed at base, with shallow punctures and long, narrow scales; interpuncture spaces strongly reticulate. Elytra about 1.3 times longer than wide; striae moderately deep; interstriae about twice as wide as striae, convex to nearly flat, mostly finely rugose, each interstria with a few scattered, fine scales. Legs of male lacking special characters. Distribution. Nova Scotia to Ontario, south to Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, NewJersey, and Ohio. Nova Scotia: South Ohio. Ontario: Merivale. Quebec: Quebec City. Comments. This species belongs in the subgenuxkapion.Adults may be distinguished by the relatively large distance between the antennal insertion and the eye, by the evenly sloped dorsal margin of the antennal scrobe, and by the very long female rostrum. Adults have been found on flowers and in the fruit of witherod (Viburnum cq.ssinoidesL.). Apion funereum Fall Figs. 94. 95 Apion funereum FaIl, 1898:123 (lectotype, Camp Umatilla, Wash.; MCZ); Kissinger 1968:136; Hatch t97I:329; O'Brien and Wibmer 1982:23. ILz
Description. Length 2.0-2.3 mm. Body slender, black. Pubescence consisting of white, very fine, very sparse setae. Frons I.2-I.6 times wider than tip of rostrum, distinctly impressed near eye. Rostrum of male moderately curved, 1.3-1.5 times longer than pronotum; sides, in dorsal view, nearly parallel on apical half, slightly expanded at antennal insertion, slightly expanded at tip; basal two-thirds coarsely alutaceous, with moderately fine punctures extending to near apex and with minute setae beyond antennal insertion. Rostrum of female 1.5-1.6 times longer than pronotum, similar to male rostrum but alutaceous in basal three-quarters, minutely punctured on apical quarter. Antennae inserted between basal 0.2 and 0.3 of rostrum. Eyes slightly convex. Pronotum at base about as wide as long; sides nearly parallel; disc slightly convex, with deeply impressed punctures and frne scales; interpuncture spaces finely alutaceous. Elytra l-.6-1.8 times longer than wide; striae deeply impressed, with moderately fine punctures; interstriae convex, about as wide as striae, each interstria with 1 row of minute punctures bearing fine scales. Femora of male forelegs slightly swollen, with ventral polished area; surface area unstriated; limiting carina of area distinct, acute, nearly straight, located on inner, lateral side of femur. Tibiae of middle and hind legs mucronate. Distribution. California to Washington. Not recorded in Canada but probably occurs in southern British Columbia. Comments. This species is a member of the subgenus Fallapion and is distinguished from Canadian representatives ofthe subgenus by the location of the limiting carina of the polished area on the male front femur. The carina is on the inner lateral side of the femur, not on the outer side, as in the remainding Canadian species in this subgenus, except A. speculiferum,which has no carina. Adults have been found from April through October. Rabbit brush (Chrysothamn'us nauseosus) is a possible host plant. Nothing else is recorded about the biology or life history ofthis species. Kissinger (1968) designated the lectotype ofthis species. Apion hatchiKissinger Figs. 96, 97 , 140, l4l Apion hatchi Kissinger, 1968:113 (holotype, Villa, Wash.; USNM); Hatch l97l:327; O'Brien and Wibmer 1982:23. Description. Length 7.6-2.0 mm. Adults of this species are nearly identical to those of A. opacicolle . Males may be distinguished by differences in the aedeagus (Figs. 140, 141) as given in the key. Females 113
