Holotype <, allotype, and two paratypes, & and 9°, Falls: 
Church, Va., 27, 30 July, 2 August (N. Banks) in M. C. Z., Bar- 
ber’s, and my collection. From bark of tulip tree (Liriodendron). 
This species is easily distinguished by its slender inclavate 
antennz (fig. 1, A), irregularly reticulate costal area, dark and 
variegated coloration, and broad form. ‘These characters are not 
of subgeneric value according to the standards established in the 
treatment of Paleearctic genera. 
Hesperotingis gen. nov. 
Form ovate, broadly so in the short-winged forms; surface of 
hemielytra distinctly but not strongly convex in both forms. 
Head with two basal spines and three anterior as in allied genera; 
vertex with a narrow punctate area behind the median spine; an- 
tenn incrassate, the third segment very distinctly clavate, sub- 
cylindrical at base and apex. Hood very feebly developed, pro- 
thorax otherwise as in Melanorhopala. Hemielytra somewhat 
convex, the areas distinctly limited by moderately costate veins; 
costal area uniseriate, subcostal almost perfectly biseriate in known 
species; discoidal narrow, four or five areoles wide at most, slightly 
sinuate exteriorly, extending beyond middle of hemielytra, similar 
in long- and short-winged forms; sutural as in Melanorhopala; 
apices of hemielytra not divaricate in the short-winged form. 
Bucculze almost or quite contiguous anteriorly, not fused. Metas- 
ternal orifices distinct. 
This genus is most closely related to Melanorhopala Stal and 
Alveotingis O. & D., but I have found it impossible to unite it with 
either even as a distinct subgenus. From the former it is dis- 
tinguished by the incrassate, almost evenly clavate antenne, 
convex oval form, and nondivaricate hemielytral apices in the 
short-winged condition, while in habitus it is totally unlike the 
latter, though similar in antennal structure, the form being much 
less convex, the hemielytral areas more distinctly defined, and the 
reticulation less uniform.
