Dec, 1919.] Funkhouser: New Neotropical aIembracid.e. 275 



Tegmina hyaline, base narrowly coriaceous and punctate, veins of middle 

 area suddenly marked with brown, a distinct clean-cut brown band following 

 the terminal veins diagonally across the apex of the wing leaving a rather 

 broad, clear marginal membrane at extremity, this band extends ventro-caudad 

 from the posterior process when the tegmen is folded in its natural position ; 

 both the tegmina and the hind wings show the middle apical cells stylate. 



Thorax uniform brown ; abdomen brown with margins of segments yel- 

 low ; legs mottled yellow and brown, the distal ends of the tibia and the first 

 joint of the tarsi being yellow. 



Length including tegmina, 3.6 mm.; width between humeral angles, 1.8 mm. 



Type : male. Locality : Bolivia. 



This species should be recognized by its very small size, the sin- 

 uate dorsum and the characteristic brown fascia across the apex of 

 the tegmen. There is no record of collector, date of collecting or 

 definite locality, as the material in which it was found was purchased 

 from Staudinger-Bang Haas several years ago simply marked 

 " Bolivien." 



Vanduzea punctipennis new species. 



Green with a semicircular white arc on each side of the pronotum, a white 

 band at base of posterior process and a dark brown spot behind each humeral 

 angle ; closely punctate, finely pubescent ; pronotum convex in front, swollen 

 and arcuate behind ; veins of tegmina strongly and closely punctate, apical cell 

 straight at base, the basal vein of this cell extending transversely across the 

 tegmen ; legs and undersurface of body green. 



Head subtriangular, broader than long, green, finely punctate, pubescent, 

 sutures distinct ; base of head nearly straight, slightly depressed at eyes ; eyes 

 prominent, brown ; ocelli small, translucent, borders raised, farther from each 

 other than from the eyes and situated about on a line extending through cen- 

 ters of eyes; margins of gense sinuate; clypeus about as broad as long when 

 ■viewed from the front, continuing the line of the inferior margin of the genae, 

 tip reflexed and pubescent. 



Pronotum green, finely punctate, pubescent, a white fascia beginning just 

 behind the humeral angles- and extending in a semicircle to the lateral border 

 of the pronotum at a point about midway between the humeral angle and the 

 tip of the posterior process, within the anterior half of this semicircle an 

 irregular brown spot, the white arc bordered with brown behind, a white 

 fascia across the pronotum at the base of the posterior process; metopidium 

 convex, broader than high; humeral angles blunt; median carina strongly per- 

 current ; dorsum sloping in front, nearly flat across middle and acuate behind, 

 slightly impressed on each side behind the middle ; posterior process darker, 

 short, tectiform, acute, extending just beyond tip of abdomen and about reach- 

 ing the base of the apical cell of the tegmen.
