NEW GENERA AND NEW SPECIES OF LACEBUGS FROM 
THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE 
(HEMIPTERA: TINGIDAE) 
By Cart J. Drake and FLtoreNnce A. RUHOFF 
The present paper characterizes 4 new genera and 27 new species of 
the Tingidae from the Eastern Hemisphere. Also, three described 
species are transferred to other genera (new combinations) and an 
overlooked case of specific homonymy is corrected. Unless stated 
otherwise in the descriptions, the types of the new species are in the 
Drake Collection, U.S. National Museum (USNM). 
In specific references no punctuation is used between the 
trivial name and that of the author in the original references to species, 
whereas a comma is inserted between these names in all other refer- 
ences. The structural measurements in the descriptions are such 
that 80 units equal one millimeter. 
The illustrations were made by: Arthur Smith, British Museum 
(Natural History), London, England; Patricia J. Hogue, Alexandria, 
Virginia; and Elsie H. Froeschner, Bozeman, Montana. The project 
was supported in part by a grant in aid from the National Science 
Foundation (4095).
