CYDNIDAE OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE — FROESCHNER 607 



setigerous punctures; transverse impression submedian, very weak, 

 absent medially, marked by medially interrupted row of close-set 

 punctures; anterior lobe with punctured lunate impression subapi- 

 cally, with about five punctures laterally; posterior lobe impunctate 

 except for few punctures at middle near transverse impression. 



Scutellum: Longer than wide, 3.34:3.24; disc polished, with ir- 

 regularly spaced, moderately coarse, sunken punctures, apex impunc- 

 tate. 



Hemelytron: Corium and clavus polished, clavus with double row 

 of punctures for more than half its length; mesocorium impunctate 

 except for two complete rows paralleling claval suture and few punc- 

 tures at lateroapical angle; exocorium with numerous distinct punc- 

 tures for full length; membranal suture weakly concave, lateral angle 

 slightly prolonged; costa with two setigerous punctures; membrane 

 slightly surpassing apex of abdomen, length little more than basal 

 width, 



Propleuron: Polished, impunctate, even in depression; prosternal 

 carinae low, about half as high as labial II. 



Mesopleuron: Evaporatorium entire, reaching lateral margin of 

 segment; lateral area impunctate. 



Metapleuron: Evaporatorium occupying about three-fourths of 

 segment; lateral area impunctate. 



Sternites: Polished, impunctate. 



Terminalia : Apical margin of genital capsule entire, faintly sinuate 

 either side of middle, surface punctate in lateral depressions; gono- 

 stylus as illustrated for hergi (fig. 271). 



Length of body: 10.22. 



Female: Similar to male with the following exceptions: (1) Sub- 

 marginal setigerous punctures on jugum normal on left side but with 

 only three widely separated ones on the right; (2) ocelli larger, sepa- 

 rated from eye by a space about twice the ocellar width; (3) lateral 

 pronotal margin weakly sinuate opposite the ends of the transverse 

 impression; (4) exocorial punctures less distinct; and (5) propleuron 

 with some distinct punctures in the depression. 



Head: Length-width ratio, L61:2.55; interocular width, 1.43. 

 Antennal segments: I, 0.56; II, 0.60; III, 0.74; IV, 1.00; V, 1.05. 

 Labial segments: I, 0.94; 11, 1.50; III, 1.43; IV, 1.03. 



Pronotum: Length-width ratio, 3.40:6.02. 



Scutellum: Length-width ratio, 4.04:3.92. 



Length of body: 11.17.
