Notapictlnus uruguayensis, new species 



Figures 14, 15 



Female.— Elongate ovate, slightly widening backward; macrop- 

 terous. 



Head shorter than width across eyes (16:17.5), Anterior process 

 moderately stout, reaching almost to apex of antennal segment I, 

 sides slightly convex, tip deeply cleft; genae much longer than clypeus, 

 with blunt tips. Antenniferous tubercles short, dentiform, divergent. 

 Eyes large, protruding, their longitudinal diameter longer than anten- 

 niferous tubercles (5:4). Postocular tubercles slender, dentiform, 

 reaching as far as, or a little beyond, the outer border of the eyes. 

 Infraocular carinae low, finely granulate, converging from foreborder 

 of eyes to union at middle of posterior border of head. Vertex with 

 M -shaped row of granules, laterad of this with two (1 + 1) ovate 

 callosities. Antennae moderately strong, more than one-and-a-half 

 times as long as head (26:16); proportions of antennal segments, I to 

 IV: 6:5:7.5:7.5. Rostrum reaches to hmdborder of rostral groove, 

 latter closed posteriorly. 



Pronotum trapezoidal, much shorter than width across humeri 

 (19:36). Forelobe narrower than hindlobe (27:36). Collar tiny, 

 with a straight foreborder. Anterolateral angles slightly expanded, 

 rounded, and reflexed, produced beyond the foreborder of collar. 

 Lateral borders finely crenulate, straight and parallel at humeri, 

 strongly converging anteriorly. Hindborder slightly convex medially 

 and slightly sinuate mesad of hmdangles. Foredisc with two (1 + 1) 

 stout, granulate ridges, convergent anteriorly, laterad of them with 

 two (1 + 1) lower, granulate mflations. Hind-disc roughly granulate. 



Scutellum shorter than width at base (12:18). All sides carinate. 

 Median carina T-shaped, moderately stout, granulate; disc also 

 granulate. 



Hemelytra complete, reaching apical fourth of tergum VII. Corium 

 reaching middle of connexival segment III, basolateral border reflexed, 

 forming a low carina, then shghtly sinuate, receding, and not re- 

 flexed. Apical border bisinuate, shallowly exteriorly, and deeper 

 interiorly. Membrane large and corrugate. 



Abdomen longer than width across segment IV (60:45). Lateral 

 borders evenly convex, rounded; postero-exterior angles barely pro- 

 truding: VII forming a rounded lobe, reaching to the middle of 

 tergum VIII. Posterior border of tergum VII carinate. Paratergites 

 large, triangular, reaching apical fourth of segment IX. Latter 

 tricuspidate; median portion acute, lateral (valves) rounded. Spir-
