Comments: This species was not known from the New World until Thomas et al. (2003) recorded it from Mexico , the southern United States , and several West Indies islands; hence, it was not included in the Froeschner (1988) catalog. Agonoscelis puberula is very similar in general appearance to several species in the genus Trichopepla . It can usually be recognized by the dark markings on the veins of the hemelytral membrane, which are usually lacking in Trichopepla . We have examined the specimen from Minnesota and it is this species, but it might be an incidental or adventitious record.
