Yersiniops solitarius (Scudder, 1896) species treatment completed.

Despite their inability to fly, adult males are attracted to lights at night.  This species is quite active and oftentimes jumps several inches to escape enemies.  They occasionally produce significant quantities of brown regurgitant when captured.  Adults and nymphs are capable of seizing and consuming relatively large prey items compared to their body size.
