84 HOMOPTERA 



Tegmina semiopaque with the venation somewhat obscure ; five apical cells and one discoidal cell, the 

 median apical cell truncate at base; no apical limbus. Legs simple; posterior tarsi longest. 



Type fuscus Metcalf and Bruner. 



Geographical distribution : Known only from the two Cuban species here recorded.

47. GENUS PROCYRTA STAL 



Procyrta Stal, Hem. Fabr. H : 32 (1869). 

 Dysyneritus Fowler, B. C. A. II : 80 (1895). 



Characters : Small, roughly sculptured forms of dull colors with the pronotum somewhat 

 elevated and the tegmina free and characterized by a transverse vein just behind the middle. Head 

 triangular, roughly sculptured ; base strongly arcuate ; eyes large, prominent ; ocelli small, inconspicuous, 

 twice as far from each other as from the eyes and situated about on a line drawn through centers of eyes; 

 clypeus extending for half its length belovv the inferior margins of the genae and continuing the line of the 

 face made by these margins. Pronotum somewhat elevated, rounded above in front and somewhat 

 compressed behind, roughly sculptured, usually maculate with brown or black; dorsum somewhat 

 sinuate; metopidium straight, higher than broad ; median carina strongly percurrent; humeral angles 

 weak, rounded, not strongly produced ; no suprahumerals or other anterior processes ; posterior process 

 heavy, tectiform, somewhat compressed laterally, tip suddenly acuminate and extending to a point 

 beyond theinterior angles but not reaching the tips of the tegmina; scutellum entirely concealed. Teg- 

 mina entirely free, broad, fuscus hyaline, usually with brown or black markings; base broadly coria- 

 ceous and punctate; apical limbus broad; five apical cells with strongly curved venation ; one discoidal 

 cell ; the apical area set off by a more or less well defined line of transverse veins. Legs simple ; all of 

 the tarsi about equal in length.

 ica and Mexico as represented by the following species :
