Poeciloptera elevans Walker, List of the . . . homopterous insects in the . . . 



British Museum, suppl., p. 335, 1858. 

 Colpoptera rugosa Van Duzee, Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sci., vol. 8, No. 5, p. 36, 1907. 



Specimens examined: 2 males, 4 females, and 2 nymphs from Mona, 

 Jamaica, B. W. I., Nov. 1940, Fennah. 



This species differs from those from the eastern Caribbean area in 

 the shape of the pregenital sternite of the female and of the lateral 

 margin of the pygofer, which is narrowly produced caudad at middle 

 in a slender process, rounded at its apex. 



Colpoptera chrysops, new species 



Figure l,k-o 



Testaceous or light fuscous; apical half of vertex, frons, genae, and 

 basal two-thirds of clypeus pale yellow, basal part of vertex and 

 lateral margins, sides of head immediately below eyes, and clypeus 

 distally f uscous-piceous ; pronotum, tegulae, at least posterior margin 

 of mesonotum, and abdominal sclerites fuscous. 



Tegmina subhyaline, castancous-fuscous at base; distad of this, 

 costal cells to level of apex of Sc, and cells of Sc as far as level of node 

 hyaline, corium otherwise fuscous, clavus distinctly lighter and with 

 a yellowish tinge, this coloration extending a little into membrane 

 distad of claval apex; membrane, except as otherwise stated, fuscous. 

 Wings infuscate, paler toward base, veins fuscous. 



Anal segment of male moderately short, anal foramen situated one- 

 third from base, distal portion flattened with lateral margins slightly 

 elevated, apical margin transverse; in profile anal segment rather 

 narrow, declivous and almost straight distad of anal foramen, lower 

 lateral margins produced ventrad just distad of middle in a triangular 

 lobe. Pygofer with dorsal angles rounded-subrectangulate, not 

 prominent, a straight, tapering process, apically acute, arising at 

 middle of hind margin and directed caudad. Aedeagus moderately 

 long, sub tubular, shallowly curved upward, bilaterally symmetrical; 

 four spines arising dorsolaterally near apex, three horizontal, directed 

 cephalad, and one sub vertical; lowest member of the horizontal 

 spines straight, tapering distally, the second shorter, curved dorsad 

 distally, the third much shorter than second and sinuate; the sub- 

 vertical spine shorter than all these, directed dorsomesad. Genital 

 styles subtriangular, lower margin almost straight, apical margin 

 very shallowly convex, dorsal margin ascending to middle, then de- 

 scending to base of apical process, which is short, directed dorsad, 

 flattened into an ovate disc on outer surface, and acute at apex.
