 Hemelytra reaching a little beyond apex of abdomen, discal cell 

 closed. Fore femora a little more than three times longer than broad,

MONTANDONIOLA THRIPODES, new species. 



Oblong, shining, glabrous, impunctate, black; corium and clavus 

 white, subtransparent ; inner margin and commissure of clavus, the 

 narrow posteriorly someAvhat widening embolium, and cuneus black ; 

 membrane hyaline, iridescent, with a rather broad parallel brown- 

 ish-black vitta running from near the interior basal angle to the 

 apex and lying in the longitudinal axis of the body when the heme- 

 Mra are closed; third (and probably fourth) joint of antennae, apex 

 of second joint of rostrum, its third joint (except apex), fore tibae 

 (except extreme base), and all tarsi yellow. Head longer than 

 pronotum in the middle; postocular part shorter than anteocular 

 part, but forming together with the apex of the pronotum a cylin- 

 drical neck which is equal in length to the anteocular part; eyes 

 (male) moderately prominent, seen from above not quite twice 

 longer than broad, a trifle longer than anteocular part; vertex be- 

 tween the eyes one-half broader than an eye and twice broader than 

 the gular interspace between them, ocelli placed close to the posterior 

 inner margin of the eyes; antennae very finely and shortly pilose, 

 first joint glabrous, slightly passing apex of head, second joint as 

 long as the distance between ocelli and apex of head, subcylindrical, 

 incrassated, twice thicker than first joint, third joint somewhat 

 longer than first and slightly narrower (fourth joint wanting) ; 

 rostrum scarcely reaching anterior coxae, first joint very short, sec- 

 ond reaching posterior margin of eyes (female), linear, third as long 

 as second. Pronotum with a short apical neck but with no distinct 

 apical annulation (collar), lateral margins narrowly carinate and 

 slightly sinuate between the neck and the humeral angles, posterior
