produced into a long point, reaching to middle of connexival segment 

 III. Apical border of corium deeply and widely sinuate. 



Abdomen longer than width across segment V (59:42); sides 

 subparallel. Connexival segment II short, triangular, semifused 

 with III; latter very long, more than twice as long as II (15:7); 

 other connexival segments normal. Postero-exterior angles not pro- 

 truding on II to IV; slightly protruding on V and VI; rounded on 

 VII. Hypopygium conical, almost as long as its width at base 

 (9:10). Paratergites wide, fiat, curved, tips reposing on the sides 

 of hypopygium. Spiracles II to V ventral, placed far from border; 

 VI to VIII lateral, visible from above. 



Color. — Head, pronotum, with exception of anterior angles, 

 scutellum, hindhalves of connexival segments III to VI, middle of 

 tergum VII, and hypopygium, ferruginous. Antennae, anterior 

 angles of pronotum, connexival segment II, and paratergites ochre 

 brown. Forehalves of connexival segments III to VI and almost 

 entire VII, yellow. Ventral side of the body ferruginous, with 

 yellow spots on connexivum. 



Measurements. — Total length 4.36 mm.; width of pronotum 

 1.48 mm.; width of abdomen 1.68 mm. 



HoLOTYPE. — Male, Chapada, Brazil; September (USNM type 

 67592). 



Notapictinus platyceps, new species, is related to N, breviceps 

 (Champion) but is larger, has antennae with different proportions 

 of segments; anterior angles of the pronotum produced forward as 

 long lobes; and paratergites in the form of a hook.

Figures 22, 23 



Male. — Elongate ovate, regularly widening backward, then 

 narrowing; macropterous. 



Head almost as long as ^vidth across the eyes (16:16.5). Anterior 

 process long and slender, cleft anteriorly; genae much longer than 

 clypeus, reaching apical two-fifths of antennal segment I. Anten- 

 niferous tubercles long, dentiform, slightly divergent, reaching basal 

 fourth of antennal segment I. Eyes moderately large, protruding. 

 Postocular tubercles small, dentiform, slightly produced beyond 

 outer border of the eyes. Vertex with V-shaped row of granules, and 

 laterad of this with two (1 + 1) callosites; latter each with a thin, 

 longitudinal carina. Antennae strong, twice as long as head (31.5:16). 

 Proportions of antennal segments 8:5.5:11:7. Rostrum reaching 

 hindborder of rostral groove; latter wide, closed posteriorly. 



Pronotum much shorter than width across humeri (19:36). Collar 

 wide, slightly sinuate anteriorly, clearly separated from disc. Fore-
