PrArEs ei iii: 
THE following notes were made while studying the 
numerous Central-American species of this family of 
Heteropterous insects (cf. Biol. Centr.-Am., Rhynchota, ii, 
pp. 1-48). Most of the corrections in the synonymy of 
various South-American species have already been noted 
by me, but as they may be overlooked in a work dealing 
with a limited fauna, they are here repeated. Professor 
Poulton having kindly lent me the small but valuable 
collection of American Tingitid belonging to the Oxford 
Museum—mostly from the Antillean island of St. Vincent, 
or from the Amazons (Bates),—some remarks on these are 
added, with descriptions of one new genus and three 
species. Herr A. Handlirsch, also, has sent me for exa- 
mination a large number of American Tingitide belonging 
to the Vienna Museum: amongst these, there are speci- 
mens of an interesting new genus, from Lower California, 
allied to <Acalypta, Westw., a description of this insect 
being included in the present paper. The opportunity is 
taken, too, of figuring a number of the types of Stal’s 
South-American species, very many of which, including 
those of all his numerous American genera, have been 
communicated by Dr. Aurivillius of the Stockholm Mu- 
seum. The two South-American species of Monanthia 
described by Mr. Distant (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1888, 
p. [xxxiil) are also figured. 
PHYLLOTINGIS, Walker. 
This genus (= Alyattes, Stal, 1865, and Luloba, 
Uhler, 1884), based upon a single species from the 
Amazons, P. arida, Walk. (= eximia, Hagl., and pallida,
