Leptoglossus fulvicornis
Hemilytra lacking a transverse fascia. Humeral area of pronotum strongly expanded and flared outward and upward, bearing coarse obtuse teeth anterior and posterior to humeral angles. Head nearly uniformly brown, lacking alternating dark and light stripes. Tibial dilations relatively slender; outer dilation with shallow scalloping. Can be mistaken for oppositus because of the absence of a transverse humeral fascia, but is readily recognizable by the flaring, dentate pronotal margins, uniformly brown head, and much less deeply scalloped outer hind tibial dilation.
Range: NY-FL to MO-TX Food: Magnolia fruit
