  This 
  Tingid 
  was 
  purposely 
  introduced 
  from 
  Mexico 
  to 
  check 
  

   the 
  Latwna 
  camura 
  and 
  has 
  already 
  succeeded 
  to 
  a 
  wonderful 
  

   degree. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  the 
  ova, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  probably 
  laid 
  in 
  spots 
  

   raised 
  on 
  the 
  leaf. 
  

  

  The 
  last 
  nymphal 
  instar 
  is, 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  most 
  Tingid 
  nymphs, 
  

   ripinose. 
  

  

  Suboval 
  flat 
  above 
  or 
  slightly 
  concave, 
  sternites 
  convex. 
  Tes- 
  

   taceous, 
  varying 
  to 
  yellowish-brown, 
  the 
  abdomen 
  sometimes 
  

   sanguineous, 
  spines 
  fuscous. 
  Vertex 
  with 
  an 
  apical 
  porrect 
  

   spine 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  a 
  median 
  semierect 
  one 
  

   just 
  behind 
  ; 
  a 
  sublateral 
  semierect 
  one 
  year 
  the 
  eye 
  on 
  each 
  

   side 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  Labium 
  reaches 
  to 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  meta- 
  

   sternum, 
  first 
  segment 
  reaching 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  head, 
  second 
  

   the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  coxae, 
  third 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  mesoster- 
  

   num 
  ; 
  the 
  fourth 
  segment 
  is 
  the 
  longest, 
  being 
  one-fourth 
  longer 
  

   than 
  the 
  first, 
  two-thirds 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  twice 
  

   and 
  a 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  third. 
  The 
  buceulae, 
  etc., 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  

   adult. 
  The 
  antennae 
  are 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  width 
  of 
  the 
  

   fore 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum, 
  the 
  third 
  segment 
  is 
  twice 
  as 
  

   long 
  as 
  the 
  fourth, 
  which 
  is 
  more 
  than 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   second, 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  subequal 
  The 
  pronotum 
  is 
  five-sided 
  

   and 
  is 
  about 
  one-half 
  wider 
  than 
  long, 
  excluding 
  spines. 
  There 
  

   is 
  a 
  semierect 
  spine 
  at 
  the 
  posterolateral 
  angle. 
  The 
  

   tegminal 
  pad 
  has 
  one 
  semierect 
  lateral 
  spine 
  near 
  the 
  apex. 
  

   The 
  hind 
  femora 
  are 
  short, 
  reaching 
  to 
  about 
  half 
  the 
  length 
  

   of 
  the 
  abdomen, 
  the 
  trochanters 
  are 
  all 
  remote, 
  though 
  a 
  trifle 
  

   nearer 
  to 
  one 
  another 
  than 
  to 
  the 
  lateral 
  margins 
  of 
  the 
  

   body. 
  The 
  tergites 
  have 
  5 
  lateral 
  semierect 
  spines, 
  and 
  one 
  

   medium 
  spine 
  near 
  the 
  apex, 
  also 
  3 
  rows 
  of 
  smaller 
  ones 
  down 
  

   the 
  middle. 
  These 
  spines 
  are 
  almost 
  all 
  shortly 
  hairy, 
  and 
  in 
  

   addition 
  there 
  are 
  smaller 
  spines 
  and 
  capitate 
  hairs 
  scattered 
  

   over 
  the 
  body. 
  The 
  sternites 
  are 
  convex. 
  The 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  

   nymph 
  is 
  2^ 
  times 
  as 
  great 
  as 
  its 
  width. 
  The 
  pronotum 
  behind 
  

   is 
  about 
  three-fourths 
  wider 
  than 
  in 
  front. 
  

  

  (36) 
  As 
  Distant 
  states 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  compared 
  our 
  Lantana 
  Tingid 
  with 
  the 
  

   types 
  of 
  T. 
  noiata 
  and 
  subfasciata, 
  I 
  have 
  temporarily 
  accepted 
  his 
  name, 
  

   though 
  his 
  description 
  is 
  poor 
  and 
  based 
  on 
  inadequate 
  material, 
  and 
  I 
  

   cannot 
  see 
  how 
  it 
  is 
  separable 
  from 
  T. 
  notata.
