58 Mr. G. C. Champion’s notes on 
TINGIS, Fabr. 
Stal (Enum. Hemipt. ii, p. 128) uses the name 
Stephanitis for the European Tingis pyri, Fabr., and 
T. oberti, Kol., and a very dissimilar South-American 
form, S. mitrata, Stil, but this course has not been 
followed by Lethierry and Severin. The American 
species ought to be separated, and the name Stephanitis 
could be retained for it, Stil’s type is figured on Plate II, 
figs. 3, 3a. 
“Tt may be here noted that the insect figured in Cuvier’s 
Regne Animal, Ins., Atlas, u, pl. 91, figs, 5, 5a, b, under 
ine name Tingis cristata, Panz., is evidently referable to 
T. pyri, Fabr. It has nothing to do with Panzer’s species. 
LEPTOBYRSA, Stal. 
The type of this genus is ZL. steini, Stal, from Rio 
Janeiro. It is figured on Plate II, fig. 4. Two others 
have been described by Berg from Buenos Ayres and five 
by myself from Central America. 
GARGAPHIA, Stal. 
This genus seems to be well characterised by the pro- 
minent transverse sinuous ridge between the meso- and 
metasternum, the cordate intercoxal portion of the meta- 
sternum being surrounded at the sides and in the front by 
a continuous membranous ridge. The species are all 
American.* Stil’s type of G. trichoptera, from Bogota, 
Colombia, is figured on Plate II, fig. 5 
CorYTHAIGA, Stal. 
Typonotus, Uhler, Proc. Zool. Soc, Lond. 1898, p. 716. 
The characters of this genus were taken by Stal and 
Uhler from the same species, C. monacha, Stal (= Tingis 
cyathicollis, Costa, and Typonotus planaris, Uhler), the 
type of C. monacha being from Rio Janeiro and that of 
T. planaris from the Island of St. Vincent. Numerous 
specimens of the species are contained in the Oxford 
Museum. Stiil’s type has been communicated by Dr. 
* inate formosa, Galdi, Peay Para, probably belongs here or to 
Leptostyla, Stal.
