HEMIPTEKA— HETEROPTEEA— TINGIDID.^. 359 



MONANTHIA VETERNA. 

 PI. 23, Figs. 5, 9. 



Body nnifornily dtirk, tlie liead and thorax witli much the same form 

 as Eotingis, tlie tliorax being hirgest just in advance of the rounded base and 

 tapering forward, the head included, giving it much the form of a Xya among 

 Orthoptera ; as in Eotingis, there are no lateral vesicles ; the abdomen is 

 ovate and broader than tlie thorax. Antennae nearly as long as the width 

 of the abdomen, or slightly shorter than the head and thorax together ; first 

 two joints similar and stout, the first a little longer than broad, the second 

 of equal length and breadth, the third slender and elongated, nearl}- as long 

 as the thorax, the fourth clavate, as long as the first two together, but not 

 quite so stout as they and as naked as the rest of the antenna. Legs rather 

 short and stout, the hind femora just reaching the edge of tlie hemelytra. 

 These extend somewhat beyond the abdomen and are somewhat coarsely 

 reticulate, biseriately arranged on the basal half of the costal area, triseri- 

 ately beyond. 



Length of body, 2.7-3'""" ; breadth of thorax, 1"'"' ; abdomen, 1.2-1.4"""; 

 length of antenna}, L15""". 



Florissant. Six specimens, Nos. 2349, 3881, 4387, 6787, 7819, 9672. 



EOTINGLS gen. nov. (vfo?, Tingis, nom. gen.). 



Head triangular, about equally long and broad ; antennju of excessive 

 length, almost as long as the body and very slender, the great length 

 largely due to the prolongation of the middle joints, the last joint very deli- 

 cately enlarged so as to be faintly clavate, tlie club very long and slender. 

 The pronotum is short, narrowest in front whei'e it equals the head, truncate 

 botli at base and apex. Thorax tapering forward witli no vesicular enlarge- 

 ments. Abdomen oval. Legs very long and slender, all tlie femora ot 

 nearly equal length, the tibia^ of similar length, tlie whole leg nearly as long 

 as the tegmina. These are broad and very long, extending well beyond the 

 body, irregularly and more or less finely and uniformly reticulate thi-ough- 

 out, the broad costal area as irregular as elsewhere. 



The genus perhaps falls in the neighborliood of Gargaphia Stal. 



Two species are known, one found in Prussian amber, E. (|uinquecari- 

 nata Germ, sp., with carinate and regularly tapering pronotum and the cos-
