78 HOMOPTERA 



with five apical and two discaidal cells, the median apical cell truncate. The legs are simple and no 

 part of the body is foliaceous. 



Type iirsiis Fairmaire. 



Geographical distribution : The genus is represented by only two species, both from South 

 America, as follows : 



1. ursus Fairmaire, Rev. Memb. 3o6. i (1846). — Pl. 3, fig. 3 I . Colombia. 



2. viridistrigata Walker, List Hom. B. M. Suppl. 145 (i858). Brazil. 



37. Genus ATYPA Laporte 



Atypa Laporte, Ann. Soc. Ent. France I : 221 (i832). 



Characters : A genus characterized by the high, flattened, somewhat overhanging dorsal crest 

 which suggests superficially the genus Telamona of the subfamily Smiliinae but is of course immediately 

 distinguished from the Smiliinfe by the truncate apical cell of the tegmina. The head is subquadrate, 

 twice as wide as high, with the clypeus short and broad and not extending below the inferior margins of 

 the genae, the ocelH much farther from each other than from the eyes and three-jointed antenna inserted 

 in a depression on the posterior margin of the head below the eyes. The pronotum is high, compressed 

 laterally and the anterior crest overhangs the head. The humeral angles are short and blunt and there 

 are no suprahumeral horns or other cephalic processes. The posterior process is elevated, compressed, 

 tectiform, and reaches just about to the tips of the tegmina. The entire pronotum is lightly sculptured 

 and coarsely punctate. The tegmina are entirely free with five apical and three discoidal cells, the 

 median apical cell being broadly truncate. The legs are simple and the tarsi uniform in size. 



Type gibba Laporte. 



Geographical distribution : The genus, so far as is now known, is limited to South America 

 and the species distributed as foUows : 



1. bucktoni {nom . nov.) Goding, S. A. Memb. 219 (1929). Colombia. 



gibha ipreoccupied) Buckton, Mon, Memb. 197 (1903). 



2. gibba Laporte, Ann. Soc. Ent. France I : 221 (i832). Brazil. 



3. gibbosa Walker, List Hom. B. "Sl. Suppl. 142 (i858). Brazil. 



38. Genus PARADARNOIDES FOWLER 



Paradarnoides Fowler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 422 (1894). 



Characters : Head deflexed, twice as broad as high, ocelli twice as far from each other as from 

 the eyes, clypeus triangular and projecting for more than half its length below the inferior margins 

 of the genaj. Pronotum convex, not elevated ; scut^JJum not visible; median carina strongly percur- 

 rent; humeral angles heavy, blunt and triangular; no suprahumeral horns ; posterior process long, 

 slender, tectiform, depressed at base, tip acute and not quite reaching the end of the abdomen or 

 thetips of the tegmina. Tegmina entirely free, long, pointed, with five apical and three discoidal cells, 

 the two inner apical cells distinctly curved. Legs simple ; tarsi of equal length. The insects average 

 about eight millimeters in length, are of inconspicuous colors and rather rough sculpturing. 



Type severini Fowler.
