GARGAPHIA. 
Gargaphia, Stal, Enum. Hemipt. iii. pp. 119, 124 (1873). 
In this genus the rostral groove is interrupted between the meso- and metasternum 
by a prominent, sinuous, transverse carina, a character separating Gargaphia from the 
rest of the Tingitide. Four species only from Central America belong to it. They 
may be differentiated thus :— 
Costal area broad, with three or more rows of areole. 
Pronotal margins broadly, arcuately dilated; costal area irregularly reti- 
culated . . . . woe ee ew ww we. patricia, Stal. 
Pronotal margins broadly, ‘angularly dilated ; costal area with three or four 
oblique blackish nervures . . . . . . . soe ee ww .) Migrinervis, Stal. 
Pronotal margins narrower, very feebly rounded, and rather prominent in 
front; costal area irregularly reticulated . . . . . . . . «= « panamensis, n. sp. 
Costal area narrower, with two rows of areolew, increasing to three in the 
widest part; pronotal margins subangularly dilated before the base . . iridescens, n. sp. 
1. Gargaphia patricia. (Tab. I. figg. 12; 12 a, part of the body beneath.) 
Monanthia (Phyllontochila) patricia, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1862, p. 324’. 
Gargaphia patricia, Stal, Enum. Hemipt. ui. p. 125’. 
Hab. Mexico (mus. Holm. !*), Cordova (Sallé), Orizaba (Lilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), 
Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith); Guatema.a, Chacoj, San Juan, Chiacam, San 
Joaquin, Balheu, and San Gerénimo in Vera Paz, Volcan de Atitlan, Capetillo 
(Champion) ; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Pefia Blanca (Champion). 
One of the commonest and most widely distributed species of ‘Tingitinz in Central 
America. The transverse blackish or fuscous cloud on the pronotal margins is 
frequently obsolete, and the margin itself in some specimens is more narrowly 
foliaceous, with fewer areole. The elytra have a more or less distinct transverse 
blackish fascia on the irregularly reticulated costal area at about one-third from the 
* T’, planaris, Uhler, from the Island of St. Vincent, does not differ from Corythaica monacha, Stal (= Tingis 
cyathicollis, Costa), from Brazil, the types of which I have compared. The insect is beautifully figured by Costa.
