FAMILY XV. — TINGIDID^. 



vague fuscous rings. Pronotum with front margin slightly prolonged 

 at middle, sides parallel; median carina almost concealed between the 

 bulbs, lateral ones visible only behind them. Elytra with cells of costal 

 area variable in size, their centers hyaline; subcostal area with two 

 irregular rows of cells; discoidal area with numerous confused rather 

 coarse cells. Length, 3.2 — 3.8 mm. 



Chiriqui, Costa Rica (British Mas. Coll.). Described from 

 Central America and Panama. Recorded from Gainesville, Fla., 

 by Drake. Known also from Arizona. Aside from the very 

 prominent paranotal bulbs, it resembles closely Teleonemia sac- 

 chari (Fab.).

 branous and with a single row of cells, reflected back nearly

 & Drake, 1916, 245. 



Rather broadly oval, much widened behind 

 the middle. Grayish-brown, darker beneath; head 

 brown; membrane of cells whitish. Joints 1 and 

 2 of antenna? brown, 3 and 4 fuscous; 1 almost
