CYDNIDAE OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE — FROESCHNER 625 



and exocorium with scattered weak punctures, former with two com- 

 plete rows of close-set punctures paralleling claval suture; costa 

 flattened, acute, reflexed on basal two-thirds, with numerous fine 

 punctures and with two coarser setigerous punctures on basal half; 

 costa weakly sinuate posterior to subbasal setigerous puncture; mem- 

 branal suture bisinuate, lateral angle acute; membrane slightly longer 

 than basal width, surpassing apex of abdomen. 



Propleuron: Coarsely and closely punctured at antero ventral angle 

 and in depression, more sparsely and weakly so posterior to depression; 

 prosternal carinae thick, blunt, low. 



Mesopleuron : Evaporatorium reaching uninterrupted into postero- 

 lateral angle; pohshed area variously rugose and punctured. 



Metapleuron: Evaporatorium occupjdng mesal four-fifths of seg- 

 ment, lateral margin paralleling side of segment, osteolar canal 

 extending about half way across segment. 



Legs: Long, slender. 



Sternites: Dull, distinctly alutaceous. 



Terminalia: Subgenital plate slightly compressed laterally; with a 

 broad, low, blunt tubercle, mediall}^ immediately below apical margin ; 

 gonostylus as illustrated (fig. 282). 



Length of body: 9.40(9.15-9.57). 



Female: Similar to male, except pronotum laterally with only a 

 weak sinuation at ends of transverse impression and no reflexed 

 carinate margin and no oblique furrow projecting mesally on disc. 



Head: Length-width ratio, L42(L36-L49): 2.01 (L92-2.il); inter- 

 ocular width, 1.17(1.12-1.23). Antennal segments: I, 0.54(0.50- 

 0.60); II, 0.65(0.63-0.70); III, 0.65(0.64-0.66); IV, 0.92(0.88-0.96); 

 V, 1.14(1.13-1.16). Labial segments: I, 0.79(0.73-0.83); II, 1.24 

 (1.21-1.26); III, 0.95(0.93-0.96); IV, 0.67(0.63-0.70). 



Pronotum: Length-width ratio, 2.25(2.15-2.28) :4.67 (4.35-4.91). 



Scutellum: Length-width ratio, 3.58(3.30-4.01) :2.71 (2.50-3.00). 



Length of body: 9.39(9.00-9.42). 



Type data.— Horvath (loc. cit.) gave the type locahty as "Peru: 

 Marcapata." The type female (Hung) has the same data. 



Specimens studied. — 4 males, 9 females. 



Peru: Marcapata, 1 female, labeled as "Typus" of Colobophrys solitaria 

 Horviith (Hung). Santa Isabel, Department of Cuzco, Valley of Ccosinpata 

 River, Jan. 1, 1952, Nov. 30, 1951, Dec. 3, 25, 1951, F. Woytkowski, 4 males, 

 8 females (JCL). 



Discussion. — The original description of this species served as the 

 genotype of Horvath's new genus Colobophrys (see discussion under 

 Dallasiellus for reasons for synonymizing the two). The description 

 of the sternites as being smooth is inaccurate, they are really strongly 

 alutaceous.
