Hypergonatopus flavipes n. sp. 
Female. Head large and unusually thick fronto-occipitally, forming 
somewhat more than a hemisphere and distinetly wider than the thorax; 
dorsal surface very strongly and uniformly convex, the anterior outline 
forming a considerably larger are than a semicircle; as seen from in 
front the outline is perfectly rounded above, but the cheeks converge 
slightly in a curve to the broad and truneate oral margin; as seen from 
the side the anterior outline is well rounded except that the face is 
slightly flattened at the scrobes; occiput only slightly coneave; eyes very 
large and broadly oval, widest anteriorly and touching the occipital 
margin behind; frontovertex about six times longer than the least width, 
very narrow anteriorly and gradually widening behind so that the width 
is about one-half greater at the occipital margin; ocelli very minute and 
arranged in a very acute-angled triangle, the anterior ocellus at the center 
of the frontovertex, the posterior pair touching the eye-margin and far 
removed from the occipital margin; cheeks a little more than one-half 
as long as the eyes and very broad above; face only slightly inflexed, 
the scrobes in the form of a shallow, very broadly ovate impression about 
as wide as long and divided below by a broad, low ridge between the 
antennae, the impression of about the same size and depth as in hawaiien- 
sis, but less cireular. 
Antennal seape slender, curved, slightly wider at the middle, the ven- 
tral margin areuate; pedicel as long as the first two funicle joints com- 
bined; first funicle joint somewhat longer than wide and about equal 
to either of the last two joints in length, but considerably narrower; next 
two joints about as wide as long, the fourth somewhat shorter and 
slightly wider than long, the last two joints distinctly longer than those 
preceding, the fifth about as wide as long, the sixth slightly wider than 
long; club missing except part of the basal joint, but presumably about 
as in hemipterus. 
Thorax rather depressed above, the pronotum transverse, with its 
posterior margin only slightly arcuate; mesoseutum short and _ strongly 
transverse or about two and one-half times wider than long; axillae not 
greatly wider than long, and slightly separated medially; seutellum dis- 
tinetly longer than wide, rather acute at apex, the dise depressed, the 
lateral margins and apex well elevated and declivous. Abdomen hardly 
longer than one-half of the thorax, the first tergite prominent, the follow- 
ing tergites deeply sunken in and telescoped within the first segment. 
Wings of the hemipterous type or truncated at apex of the stigmal 
vein, the apical margin rounded, marginal vein between four and _ five 
times longer than thick and about thrice as long as the stigmal, the 
postmarginal slightly shorter than the stigmal vein; area of dise beneath 
the submarginal vein with about six or seven scattered, very minute 
hyaline setae; area beneath the marginal vein densely setose, the specu- 
lum distinct. 
Frontovertex with excessively minute and delicate thimble-like seulp-
