American and other TxngitAdfe. 03 



Stal (the types of all of which are before me) it is per- 

 haps nearest allied to T. scrupuloan,, from which it may be 

 separated by the very long and less distinctly pilose 

 antennae, the longer elytra, with glabrous discoidal area 

 and the hyaline areohe of the costal area not extending to 

 the base, &c. 



Tcleonemia hreviiJcnnis, sp. n. (PI. Ill, fig. 9.) 



Moderately elongate, narrow, dull ; blackish-fuscous, the spines on 

 the head and the front of the pronotum obscure testaceous, the tri- 

 angular posterior portion of the pronotum, and the hood in part, 

 yellowish ; the elytra fuscous, with the costal margin and the 

 nervures of the costal area for some distance beyond the middle 

 testaceous, the areolae of the latter to near the apex hyaline. Head 

 with decumbent spines ; antennae long and moderately stout, joint 

 2 considerably shorter than, and not so stout as, 1,3 rather more 

 than twice the length of 4, 3 and 4 clothed with very short hairs. 

 Pronotum sharply tricarinate, and with a small, compressed, sub- 

 angularly projecting hood in front, the marginal carinse prominent, 

 the interspaces coarsely, closely punctate. Elytra (when closed) 

 suboval, comparatively short, rounded at the apex ; discoidal area 

 with deeply impressed areola), the nervure limiting it externally 

 rounded and prominent ; subcostal area biseriate ; costal area rapidly 

 widening beyond the middle, very narrow towards the base, with a 

 single row of areolte, increasing to two in the widest part, the areolae 

 small to about the middle and then becoming larger and transverse. 

 Rostrum reaching the meso-metasternal suture. 



Length 3|, breadth 1| millim. ( 9 .) 



Hah. Amazons {Bates, in Mus. Oxon.). 



This species differs from all the Tehonemise known to 

 me in the relatively short, somewhat oval elytra. The 

 costal area is abruptly widened beyond the middle, and at 

 the widest part there are two additional hyaline areolae, 

 there being thus two rows at this place. The wings 

 extend beyond the abdomen. The insect approaches 

 the Tingis {Americia) limhata, of Stdl, which would be 

 better placed in Teleonemia. 



EURYPHARSA, Stdl. 



The type of this genus is Tingis nobilis, Gu^r., from, 

 Tropical South America, and T. circumdata, Blanch.,
