Nysius fuscovittatus Barber -- det. G.G.E. Scudder
Moved from Orsillinae.

 
Wow! Thank you very much!
^^

nice; maybe an Ortholomus, if any are still recognized in NA
Moved from True Bugs.

 
from Jane O'Donnell: "No, it is not Neortholomus
"...(which is what our NA things are now). The lateral margins of the wing exapand outward somewhat abruptly at the level of the tip of the scutellum. I can't see the bucculae to tell if it is Xyonysius or Nysius."
