lobe narrower than hindlobe (29:36). Anterior angles rounded, 

 directed somewhat inward, produced beyond collar. Lateral borders 

 of forelobe convex, rounded; those of hindlobe less convex, crenulate. 

 Hindborder slightly convex medially and laterally. Foredisc with a 

 deep median silcus, laterad with two (1 + 1) large, fiat callosities. 

 Inner borders of callosities carinate, discs each ^vith two oblique 

 carinae. Foiu- (2+2) curved carinae between callosities and lateral 

 borders. Hind-disc roughly granulate. 



Scutellum shorter than width at base (12:19); aU borders carinate; 

 lateral borders sinuate medially. Median carina thin, but prominent; 

 disc roughly, transversely rugose. 



Hemelytra almost reaching hindborder of tergum VII. Baso- 

 lateral border of corium reflexed; apical angle produced into a short 

 point, reaching basal fom-th of connexival segment III; apical border 

 concave, forming two angles. 



Abdomen longer than \\ddth across segment V (59:44). Connexi- 

 val segments all of about the same length. Postero-exterior angles 

 from IV to VI slightly protruding; on VII forming small rounded lobes. 

 Paratergites small, clavate, reaching middle of hypopygium. Latter 

 cordate, shorter than width at base (11:13.5); upper sm-face with a 

 stout, subtriangular ridge not reaching hindborder of hypopygium. 

 Spiracles II to V ventral; VI ventral but placed near margin; VII 

 to VIII lateral. 



Color. — -Light ferruginous; connexival segments yellow brown, 

 posterior borders yellow. Paratergites and tibiae ochre brown. 

 Membrane light brown. 



Measurements. — Total length 4.32 mm.; width of pronotum 

 1.44 mm.; width of abdomen 1.76 mm. 



HoLOTYPE. — Male, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; October (USNM type 

 67593). 



Notapictinus ornatus, new species, is related to A^. kjellanderi 

 Kormilev (1964, p. 472) from Peru, but the anterior angles of the 

 pronotum are directed forward and inward ; lateral borders of the hind- 

 lobe are less convex; postero-exterior angle VII forms small, rounded 

 lobes; hypopygium more elongate, with sinuate lateral borders; 

 antennal segment II much shorter than I (5.5:8), whereas in N. 

 kjellanderi it is as long as I.
