set off from the rest of the prothorax by a deep indentation, lateral and median 

 carinse distinct, process reaching to internal angle of tegmina. Tegmina red- 

 dish, subopaque, base black and punctured, apex almost hyaline. Under parts 

 of body and legs black. Extremity of femora and tarsi fiavous-ferruginous. 

 Type, female. Length, female, 3 mm.; male, 2.5 mm. Width, female, 1.6 mm.; 

 male, 1.4 mm. 



Locality: Banguey Island. 



This is one of the smallest species of the genus which I have seen, 

 some of the males being less than 2^^ mm. in length. The species is 

 to be recognized not only by its small size, but by the shining black 

 color and by the clear white translucent eyes. 



The male, besides being smaller, shows a broader hyaline area at 

 the apex of the tegmina. 



6. Gargara sumbawas new species. 



Head, pronotum, except dorsal median carina of posterior process, under 

 surface of body, and femora dark clove brown, almost black. Median carina 

 of posterior process, extremities of femora, tiliis and tarsi yellowish. Claws 

 brown. Head almost as long as broad, densely pubescent, lightly inflexed ; 

 eyes yellowish ; ocelli white, almost equidistant from each other and from the 

 eyes. Pronotum convex, humeral angles subacute, median carina obsolete be- 

 fore and very sharp throughovit the posterior process ; posterior process very 

 narrow, exposing much of scutellum, acuminate, turned slightly upward at 

 extremity, just reaching internal angle of tegmina. Tegmina yellow-hyaline, 

 base brown and punctate, no markings beyond base. Sides of meso- and meta- 

 thorax densely pubescent. Tibiae with fine spines. Type, male. Length, 4.5 

 mm. ; width, 2 mm. 



Locality : Sumbawa Island. 



Near G. hrmuica, but distinct in shape of head and in the position 

 of the pronotal process. 



7. Gargara sinuata new species. 



Small ; black ; shining ; finely punctate, not pubescent. Head twice as 

 wide as long, much reflexed below ; eyeS very large and prominent ; ocelli very 

 large and protruding. Prothorax convex, pronotum deeply indented above 

 margin of head ; humeral angles not prominent, blunt ; strong sharp median 

 carina extending from head to apex of posterior process ; posterior process 

 deeply sinuate and s'trongly produced upward, very suddenly acuminate, distal 

 half not touching tegmina, extending as far as internal angle of tegmina, lat- 

 eral carinpe distinct. Tegmina broad, base black and punctate, entire costal 

 portion uniform ferruginous-opaque, apical fourth hyaline, veins prominent. 

 Under parts of body and femora black ; femora not swollen. Tibiae simple, 

 ferruginous, extremities lighter ; tarsi fiavous ; claws flavous. Type, male. 

 Length, 3 mm.; width, 1.4 mm. 



Locality : Banguey Island.
