Hesperophylum heidemanni Knight, 1941:74, Fig. 20. This species is widely distributed but rarely collected. The form of the head with very long rostrum indicates it is a predaceous species; also we may add that predaceous forms are never as abundant as plant feeders. This species is known only from the District of Columbia, Iowa, and New Ham
