(6) T. formosa (Kirkaldy). 



Ossa formosa Kirkaldy, H. S. P. A. Ent. Bui. I., p. 413. 



The deep eiiiargination of the pronotuni and the presence of 

 apical cross-veins as well as the cross-veins places this species in 

 Tamhinia; it has the head narrowing from front of eyes to apex 

 and comes near to rapitata. Width of vertex to lengtli as 1 

 to 1.4. 



(7) T. veniista (Kirkaldy). 



Ossa routsta Kirkaldy, 1. c. 



This species is congeneric with formosa, the head is not 

 gradually narrowed, the length of vertex subequal to width. 



Trichoduchus Bierman. 



The species I add to this genus agrees in its generic char- 

 acteristics with hiermani; there is a small, pointed tubercle in 

 the middle of the clypeus. T follow Bierman in placing this 

 genus in Tropidiichidar, but it is so like Ommatissus that I con- 

 sider they must eventually be placed next to one another. Par- 

 uzelia has a neuration approaching this genus.

 reaching slightly beyond end of abdomen, very irregular, disk convex, 

 the disk of each individual cell somewhat concave, the veins elevated;
