Extract

Knight (1925) erected the genus Neoborella for his species tumida, collected in Arizona and Colorado. Later (1927) he indicated that the species was collected on mistletoe, Arceuthobium sp. growing on pines at Mt. Lemmon, Ariz., and on A. cryptopodium Engelm. growing on Pinus scopulorum Engelm. (= Pinus ponderosa Laws.) at Estes Park, Colo. The genus remained monobasic until Herring (1972) described Neoborella xanthenes collected on A. americanum Nuttall. The specimens were collected by R. E. Stevens, U.S.D.A., Forestry Service, Fort Collins, Colo. He (in litt.) confirmed that the host pine was Pinus contorta Dougl. Carvalho and Schaffner (1974) described a third species, brevirostris, from Brazil, but the host plant of this species is not known.
