Gargaphia vanduzeei new species 



Basal pair of head spines long, slender and erect, median spine long and 

 erect, frontal pair short but distinctly spinous. First segment of antennae 

 twice as long as second, third very long, fourth as long as first and second taken 

 together. First, second and fourth segments very dark, third light. Pronotal 

 hood moderately large and broad, carinae moderately high and nearly parallel, 

 lateral membranous margins with two rows of areoles, lateral angles rounding^ 

 anterior to which the margins are nearly straight. Elytra with two rows of 

 areoles in costal and subcostal areas. General aspect of insect light yellowish 

 brown, above and beneath. A few transverse nervures of costal area of elytra 

 darkened. Membranous portions of thorax hairy. 



Described from a single specimen, which because of its dam- 

 aged condition will not permit of a more detailed description. It 

 is, however, very evident that it represents a new species. 



Type. — cf ; Costa Rica, in collection of Mr. E. P. Van Duzee,
