  ;

  Type 
  of 
  genus, 
  Brachyjulvius 
  chapini, 
  new 
  genus, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  This 
  genus 
  is 
  easily 
  differentiated 
  from 
  others 
  of 
  the 
  tribe 
  Fulviini 
  

   by 
  its 
  brachypterous 
  condition 
  and 
  the 
  strongly 
  raised 
  calli 
  and 
  

   scutellum. 
  At 
  first 
  sight 
  it 
  resembles 
  a 
  small 
  beetle.

  As 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Corcovadocola 
  Carvalho, 
  1948, 
  whose 
  females 
  are 
  

   brachypterous, 
  the 
  males 
  of 
  Brachyjulvius 
  are 
  expected 
  to 
  be 
  macrop- 
  

   terous. 
  

  

  I 
  take 
  pleasure 
  in 
  naming 
  this 
  species 
  for 
  Dr. 
  E. 
  A. 
  Chapin, 
  who 
  

   collected 
  this 
  interesting 
  new 
  genus 
  and 
  species 
  of 
  mirid. 
  

  

  Peritropoides,

  pubescence. 
  Head 
  inclined 
  and 
  pointed 
  in 
  

   front,

  convex 
  and
