WINTER NUMBER 43 
spot in discoidal area, and a slightly smaller one (just opposite) in subcostal 
area, brown. These two spots, formed by embrowned nervures, form an 
irregular transverse fascia, extending from the costal area to the inner 
margin of discoidal area thru the raised point-like protuberance. Body 
beneath dark brown or blackish, the abdomen more or less tinged with red. 
Type (female) No. 25,185 U.S. N. M. from Para, Brazil, col- 
lected by C. F. Baker. Some of the paratypes have the paranota, 
lateral carinae and most of the median carinae dark brown like 
the pronotum. One specimen has the subcostal area composed 
largely of four rows of areolae instead of three. 
Leptoypha morrisoni n. sp. 
Somewhat akin to L. binotata Champ., but readily separated 
from it and from allied forms occurring in the United States 
by the narrow, uniseriate subcostal area; the costal area is ex- 
tremely narrow and strongly reflexed, carina-like, the areolae 
very tiny and mostly indistinct. 
Elongate and narrow. Head smooth, somewhat shining, the latero-pos- 
terior spines short and the three anterior spines wanting. Rostrum reach- 
ing a little beyond the meso-metasternal suture. Antennae rather long, 
moderately stout; first segment a little shorter and slightly thicker than the 
second, the latter slightly enlarged towards the tip; third segment slightly 
curved, almost two and one-third times as long as the fourth, the latter 
slightly more than twice as long as the first and second conjoined. Pro- 
notum rather coarsely punctured, the lateral carinae wanting, the median 
carina distinct but only faintly raised. Elytra elongate, widest at a little 
beyond the base, faintly constricted beyond the middle; discoidal area broad, 
with about eight or nine rows of areolae at its widest part, the areolae of 
subcostal and discoidal areas about equal in size; sutural area broad, the 
areolae becoming larger distally. The pronotum (except disc), especially 
the posterior triangular portion, moderately and finely pubescent, the pu- 
bescence on the elytra rather sparse. 
General color brownish. Antennae brown, the first, second and distal 
two-thirds of fourth segments infuscated. Pronotum reddish brown, the 
collum and apex of triangular process lighter, the deeply impressed calli 
black. Elytra brown or yellowish brown, with numerous veins in sutural 
area, and usually a large spot near the middle and another smaller one near 
the apex of discoidal area fuscous. Eyes reddish or black. Body beneath 
dark brown or blackish, sometimes slightly tinged with red. 
Length (male) 3.11 mm.; width 1.05 mm. The female is more 
robust, larger, and the fuscous markings are not as prominent. 
Described from 3 males and one female, the latter with the head 
wanting.
