acles from II to VI ventral, placed far from border, VII and VIII 

 lateral and visible from above. 



Color. — Testaceous; head behind eyes, posterolateral angles of 

 pronotiun, lateral and basal carinae of scutellum, outer borders of 

 connexiva, hindborder of tergum VII, entu-e terga VIII and IX, and 

 two (1 + 1) large, dark spots on sterna III to V, infuscated. Hind- 

 borders of connexival segments II to VI yeUow. 



Measurements. — Total length 4.40 mm.; width of pronotum 1.44 

 mm.; width of abdomen 1.80 mm. 



HoLOTYPE. — Female, Atlantide (Maldonado), Uruguay, H.L. 

 Parker collector, Dec. 24, 1942; deposited in the Drake collection 

 (USNM type 67591). 



Notapictinus Uruguay ensis, new species, is related to N. incaicus 

 KormUev (1964, p. 473), from which it may be separated by the longer 

 anterior process of the head; much shorter antennae; more produced 

 anterolateral angles of the pronotum; granulate and not transversely 

 rugose scutellum; and yellow hindborders of connexival segments.

Figures 20, 21 



Male.— Elongate, with subparallel sides; macropterous. 



Head shorter than width across eyes (15:17). Anterior process 

 short, tapering forward, subtruncate anteriorly, reaching basal third 

 of antennal segment I; genae as long as clypeus. Antenniferous 

 tubercles short, dentiform, slightly divergent. Eyes relatively large, 

 moderately prominent. Postocular borders rounded, without visible 

 tubercle or tooth, not reaching outer border of eyes. Vertex with 

 semiobliterated granulation. Entu'e upper surface of the head flat- 

 tened. Antennae strong and long, more than t^\'ice as long as head 

 (35:15). Proportions of the antennal segments 9:7:11:8. Rostrum 

 reaching hindborder of rostral groove; latter wide, closed posteriorly. 



Pronotum much shorter than width across humeri (20:37). Fore- 

 lobe narrower than hindlobe (27:37). Collar sinuate anteriorly, 

 rather indistinctly separated from the disc. Anterior angles produced 

 forward far beyond the coUar as rounded lobes. Lateral borders 

 slightly convex, rounded on the forelobe; strongly convex on the 

 hindlobe. Hindborder slightly convex in the middle. Interlobal 

 sulcus thin but distinctly visible. Forelobe with two (1 + 1) almost 

 obliterated callosities. Hindlobe granulate. 



ScuteUum shorter than width at base (12:18). All borders cari- 

 nate; disc roughly, transversely rugose, with a moderately stout 

 median carina. 



Hemelytra reaching apical fom-th of tergum VII. Basolateral 

 border of corium reflexed forming a low carina. Apical angle
