March, 1922.] FUNKHOUSER: SoUTH AMERICAN MembRACID^. 33 



Tegmina about one half exposed, black, coriaceous and punctate except 

 for a triangular hyaline spot on costal margin behind the middle ; veins heavy 

 and black ; tips rounded. 



All segments of all the legs solid black ; entire under surface of body 

 black. 



Length from front of head to tips of tegmina -j .-] mm.; width between 

 apices of humeral angles 3.2 mm. 



Type : female. 



Locality : Costa Rica. Date and collector unknown. 



Large, rough, black and red, coarsely punctate, not pubescent ; pos- 

 terior process just reaching tips of tegmina; tegmina about half ex- 

 posed, entirely black and opaque except for a small hyaline spot near 

 middle; under surface of body black; legs entirely black. 



This insect was received from Dr. V. Lallemand of Uecle, Belgium, 

 who has sent me a number of very interesting specimens of Mem- 

 bracidse. 



Genus Lallemandia new genus. 



Scutellum entirely concealed by the pronotum; posterior tarsi long- 

 est; tibiae not at all foliaceous; apical cell of tegmina petiolate; tegtnina 

 membranous with veins distinct; clavus and part of the corium covered 

 by lateral margins of pronotum; hind wings with apical area stylate; 

 corium with single large vein at base which divides to form oval area 

 just before base; basal area not punctate; suprahumeral horns absent; 

 pronotum not compressed laterally; dorsum bearing large rounded 

 swellings; posterior process short and truncate. 



This genus is near the genus Boethoos Kirkaldy (old genus Par- 

 . mula Fairmaire), but differs from it in the shape of the pronotum and 

 the strongly nodulate dorsum. The genus Lallemandia is erected for 

 the accommodation of the following species as the type and is dedicated 

 to Doctor V. Lallemand of Belgium, who furnished me with the unique 

 type specimen. 



Lallemandia nodosa new species. (PI. Ill, fig. lo.)

 finely punctate, weakly sculptured, densely tomentose with white wooly hairs ; 

 basal margin strongly sinuate ; eyes very large, prominent, brown ; ocelli large, 

 conspicuous, yellow with black borders, about equidistant from each other and 

 from the eyes and situated somewhat below an imaginary line drawn through 

 centers of eyes ; inferior margins of genae nearly straight ; clypeus longer than 

 wide, yellow, very pubescent, extending for more than half its length below 

 inferior margins of genje and continuing the nearly straight line made by these 

 margins, tip very sharp, hairy.
