131. Genus INCOLEA Goding 



Incolea Goding, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. XXXIV : 280 (1926). 



Characters : The group of four genera, of which Incolea is a representative, might perhaps be 

 considered as worthy of being set apart as a separate tribe. Certainly tliey are very different in many 

 respects from the Telamona group. We have great faith in wing venation as indicating phylogenetic 

 development and these four genera all liave only three apical cells in the hind wings. Moreover in 

 general facies, the insects are small and dehcate rather than large, heavy-bodied and robust as are the 

 forms in the Telamona group. However, the four genera represented in this second division of the 

 tribe are all apparently rare and since we have seen very few representatives of an}' of these genera, 

 we should prefer to foUow Goding in considering thcm a division of the Telamonini. 



The genus Incolea was erected by Goding for the accommodation of two Ecuadorian species. We 

 have not seen either of these species and no others species liave been described for the genus. We 

 can therefore do no more than to quote Goding's original generic description which is as follows : 



(c Naviculate, with indistinct longitudinal elevated lines. Head triangular, about as long 

 as wide beweeii the eyes, punctulate, base sinuate; eyes small; ocelli inconspicuous, slightly 

 nearer eyes and above a hne passing through their center; genee sinuate; clypeus narrow, apex 

 acute, strongly recurved. 



» Pronotum punctured, strongly depressed anteriorly, metopidium sloping; median carina 

 distinct; humeral slightly prominent; posterior process compressed, tectiform, lateral maigins 

 deeply sinuate behind suprahumerals, then broadened and gradually acuminate to acute apex 

 which reaches tips tegmina; dorsum Ughtly elevated at middle, sides with indistinct elevated 

 longitudinal lines. 



i> Tegmina with two longitudinal veins contiguous to and forked at middle, distant from 

 costal and claval suture, interior basal cell with clavus vitreous occupying three-fourths width of 

 tegmina, space between longitudinai veins and costa coriaceous, opaque, punctate ; one discoidal 

 cell between forks of ulnar vein, five apical cells, the vein between the first and second apical cells 

 rarely deficient ; wings with three apical cells, second apical cell truncate. I.egs simple. The 

 tegmina are largely covered by pronotum. » 



Type variegata Goding. 



Geographical distribution : Known only from Ecuador and represented by the foUowing 

 species : 



1. variegata Goding, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. XXXIV : 280 (1926). Ecuador. 



2. viridis (}oding, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. XXXIV : 280 (1926). Ecuador.
