Above dark blue, moderately shining; under sur- face and legs blue-black, antennte piceous. Thorax one-half wider than long, margins very narrow, the ante-basal depression deep, reaching the sides and joining the marginal depression; surface distinctly alutaceous, sparsely punctate. Elytra wider at base than thorax, with a prominent fold extend- ing from umbone to near apex; surface finely, rather sparsely and indis- tinctly punctate. Length 5-6 mm. Northern half of State, frequent; not taken south of Vigo County. Jlay 20-August 26. Occurs on knotweed or smartweed in moist localities. *2222 (6961). Haltica chalyeea 111., Mag. fur Insect., VI, 1807, 115. Oval, rather rtibust. Metallic blue, shining, rarely cu- preous or greenish; under surface and legs blue-black; an- tennae piceous, the basal half with metallic lustre. Thorax a little more than half wider than long, margins narrow, slightly thickened in front; disk convex, the ante-basal im- pressed line rather deep, extending from margin to margin; surface with minute scattered punctures. Elytra scarcely wider at base than thorax, umbone rather prominent, smooth; surface sparsely punctate, nearly smooth near apex. Length 4—5 mm. (Fig. 529.) Throughout the State; common. March 14-Decemher 10. Hi- bernates beneath bark and rubbish; mating April 12. Occurs on the wild grape and poison ivy and known as the "grape flea- beetle," often doing considerable damage to the cultivated vine. Readily controlled by spraying with arsenites when the larva are discovered. Fig. 529. (After LeBaron.) 2223 (6963). Haltica ignita 111., Mag. fur Insect., VI, 1807, 117.
