Gargara grisea sp. no v. 



Very near G. tuberculata and may be only a variety of that 

 species. It may be at once recognized by the very dense gray 

 pubescence which is quite distinctive. 



Large, heavy-bodied, light brown, but so covered with dense 

 grayish white pubescence that the body color and the punctation 

 are almost entirely hidden; metopidium convex; posterior process 

 just reaching internal angles of tegmina; tegmina translucent, 

 base and veins densely pubescent with grayish white hairs, veins 

 strongly tuberculate. 



Head broader than long, densely tomentose with white pubes- 

 cence; base regularly sinuate, highest above ocelli; eyes large, 

 prominent, grayish brown ; ocelli large but not prominent on ac- 

 count of the dense pubescence, glassy, about equidistant from 

 each other and from the eyes and situated slightly above a line 

 drawn through centers of eyes ; inferior margins of genae almost 

 straight; clypeus longer than wide, densely tomentose with white 

 pubescence, extending for more than half its length below in- 

 ferior margins of genae. 



Pronotum densely pubescent with grayish white hairs which 

 are thicker near base of head and around humeral angles; me- 

 topidium strongly convex; humeral angles large and auriculate; 

 dorsum arcuate; median carina strongly percurrent; posterior 

 process short, heavy, blunt, sharply carinate above, tip just 

 reaching internal angles of tegmina. 



Tegmina translucent, not clearly hyaline ; base coriaceous and 

 densely pubescent ; veins pubescent and strongly tuberculate ; teg- 

 mina with five apical areas ; hind wings with three apical areas. 



Sides and undersurface of thorax densely white tomentose; 

 abdomen brown, densely pubescent with white below, segments 

 bordered with white above. 



Femora dark brown, smooth; tibiae ferruginous and spined; 

 tarsi ferruginous ; claws brown ; hind trochanters unarmed.
