DISTRIBUTION. — Canada, United States, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad, Surinam, French Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina ( Brindle 1971c ; Steinmann 1989b ). REMARK Widely distributed in French Guiana. Steinmann (1989b) synonymizes Vostox brunneipennis and Vostox punctipennis ( Stal, 1860 ) , without justification, while Brindle (1971c) separates the two species on the account of the puncturation of the forewings. We here follow Steinmann, but in case the two species proved distinct, the species from South America should be named Vostox punctipennis (Stal, 1858) .
