This genus is aberrant wherever it may be placed and seems in 

 a way to connect the Capsinae with the Bryocorinae, 

 Type : Camptohrochis phorodendrona Van D. 



Psallus albatus n. sp. 



Aspect of Plagiognathus spilotus Fieb, Whitish; clypeus, basal 

 joint of the antennae, vitta on either side of the pronotum, clavus 

 within, two subapical marks on the corium and two on the membrane 

 piceous or black. Length 4 mm. 



Head moderately produced, almost vertical. Vertex nearly as 

 broad as long, convex, polished, without a basal carina. Clypeus 

 prominent, its base a little above the line connecting the base of the 

 antennae, not separated from the vertex by a distinct impressed line. 

 Eyes minutely granulated, reaching well below the middle of the 

 sides of the head; angle of the face much less than a right angle. 

 Antennas inserted close to the eyes and a little above their lower 

 angle; basal joint scarcely surpassing the clypeus. Pronotum about 

 as in genus Plagiognathus, about one-half broader than long; ante- 

 rior margin straight, posterior feebly concavely arcuated; callosities 

 large, contiguous. Basal lobe of the scutellum a little exposed. 

 Elytra somewhat longer than the abdomen, subparallel, a little wid- 

 er behind, the costa very feebly arcuated. Oviduct of female reach- 

 jngr well toward the base of the venter. 



'"olor a so'led white, more or less tinged with fulvous on the 

 vertex, anterior lobe of the pronotum, scutellum, base of the elytra 

 and the femora, especially in the male. Clypeus and basal joint of 

 the antennae, its extreme apex excepted, black and polished; sides 

 of the pronotum behind the callosities both above and below, inner 

 half of the clavus, and two elongated spots toward the apex of the 

 corium dull black. Membrane white with the areoles and a spot 

 beyond the cuneus fuscous in the female, the male has these marks 

 much extended leaving only the middle area of the membrane pale; 

 veins pale in both sexes. Base of the pronotum discolored by the 

 black mesonotum beneath. Hind femora with a few black points 

 irregularly placed; tibial spines black but without black points at 

 their base; tarsi infuscated. In the male the abdomen is black and
