ochreous, the margins of the thorax and scutellum, and a line 

 down the middle, ochreous : segments of the abdomen margined 

 with white, and a line down each side of the same colour. 

 (Length Ij line.) 



The shortness of the basal joint of the antennae will distin- 

 guish this group from^Asiraca, and the abbreviated elytra from 

 O Delphax. 



Order. — Hemiptera. 



Fam. CiMiciD^.

I indicated this insect as a genus in my Guide, but I think 

 it quite unnecessary to sepai'ate it from Tingis.
