presence of the costal constriction (although less pronounced), and the 

 length of the rostrum. The only genus described by Stal to which it 

 need be compared is Htilcita, from which it is suflficiently differentiated 

 by the presence of ocelli, the form of the vertex, antennse, etc. 



Amalapota Uhleri n, sp. Pale sanguineous. Elytra transparent, with 

 the basal third and a broad band before the apex fuscous, the latter 

 marked with sanguineous toward the costa. Whole insect, when fresh, 

 covered with a white bloom, most conspicuous on the face and abdomen. 

 Length — To tip of abdomen 3 m.m., to tip of elytra 8 m.m.; expanse of 

 wing 15 m.m. Head — Keels of the front and vertex, viewed from the 

 side, gently and regularly arcquated ; vertex narrow, almost entirely cut 

 out between the keels to receive the pronotum, which extends forward 

 nearly to the middle of the eyes ; extension of the frontal keels before the 

 eye a little less than the width of the eye in the female, about half the 

 width of the eye in the male. Rostrum extending to the third ventral 

 segment, the last joint scarcely longer than wide. Antennae of the female 

 reaching to the tip of the head ; second joint somewhat compressed, a 

 little widened at the apex, which is obliquely and concavely truncated for 

 the reception of the seta ; in the male this second joint is a little longer 

 and wider than in the female, and is much compressed, with the margins 

 slightly thickened and the surface more distinctly papillated ; a minute 

 notch, almost at the end, bears a bristle a little longer than the width of 

 the joint. In fresh examples, the Ocelli are liable to be obscured by the 

 white bloom on the cheeks. 



Thorax — Prothorax widened to an almost quadrangular scale behind 

 the eye ; central carina of the mesonotum inconspicuous ; lateral carinse 

 almost obsolete. Elytra, when closed, extending about two-thirds of their 

 length beyond the abdomen ; basal lobe-like tooth minutely denticulate 

 on its edge. 



General color sanguineous. Head, thorax and antennae fulvous, the 

 latter suffused with pale sanguineous within the margin in the male ; this 

 color also invades the frontal keel, especially in the female. Keels of 

 the vertex crested with white. Eyes dark brown. Clypeus pale fulvous. 

 Rostrum white, tip black. Legs clear whitish, the posterior femorae more 

 or less invaded with sanguineous. Coxse fading and white toward their 

 tips. Abdomen in the male sanguineous, the basal ventral segments 

 paler ; in the female deep sanguineous, or even brownish-purple, darker
