CYDNIDAE OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE — FROESCHNER 623 



Antennal segments: I, 0.38; II, 0.50; III, 0.53; IV, 0.64; V, 0.79. 

 Bucculae much higher than labial II, abruptly and roundly terminated 

 posteriorly; labium reaching past middle of mesosternum. Labial 

 segments: I, 0.61; II, 1.02; III, 0.88; IV, 0.79. 



Pronotum: Length less than half width, 2.06:4.36; anterior margin 

 shallowly, singly emarginate; side margin entire, somewhat flattened 

 on middle third, with submarginal row of four or five setigerous punc- 

 tures; transverse impression median, obsolete, emphasized anteriorly 

 by slightly tumid calli; with irregular row of large punctures; anterior 

 lobe with crowded large punctures in baud paralleling anterior emargi- 

 nation, in broad lateral area and in small patch on midline; posterior 

 lobe with numerous punctures becoming finer posteriorly, absent on 

 hind and margin and umbone. 



Scutellum: Longer than wide, 3.26:2.47; disc polished, punctured 

 over full length, more finely so toward apex. 



Hemelytron: Clavus and corium obsoletely alutaceous; clavus with 

 double row of punctures on basal half and a single row on apical half; 

 mesocorium distinctly punctured over full length, more densely so 

 apically, with two rows of punctures paralleling claval suture, outer 

 row of more widely separated punctures; exocorium for full length 

 more densely and coarsely punctate than mesocorium; costa without 

 setigerous punctures ; membranal suture weakly bisinuate, lateral angle 

 slightly produced; membrane longer than basal width, surpassing 

 abdomen by about one-fourth its length. 



Propleuron: Polished, with few coarse punctures in depression and 

 smaller punctures on posterior convexity and anterior convexity 

 laterally; prosternal carinae about half as high as labial II. 



Mesopleuron: Evaporatorium reaching lateral margin in postero- 

 lateral angle ; lateral area longitudinally rugopunctate. 



Metapleuron: Peritreme abruptly terminated apically; evapora- 

 torium delimited laterally by impressed line; lateral area impunctate. 



Sternites: Weakly alutaceous, with minute punctures scattered 

 over most of surface and coarser ones laterally. 



Legs: Posterior femora ventrally with numerous transverse tu- 

 bercles basad of large, blunt, subapical angulation; posterior tibiae 

 elongate, about Iji times as long as femora, slender and gently curved 

 iu apical half. 



Terminalia: Genital capsule alutaceous, with numerous fine punc- 

 tures over most of surface, apical margin with broad, weak emargina- 

 tion medially and gonostylus as illustrated (fig. 281). 



Length of body: 8.85. 



Type data. — Holotype male (Wien), "Espirito-Santo, Brasil, ex 

 coll. Fruhstorfer."
