GENERA AND SPECIES. 197 



small, 3d long and slender, 4th stouter and ovate : thorax sub- 

 quadrate, the angles rounded convex, the anterior margin thin, 

 the sides slightly emarginate : scutellum trigonate minute : supe- 

 rior wings elongate-ovate, with 2 elevated nervures forming a loop 

 on each. 



1. Capitata. Wolf. 



This genus is at once distinguished from the other Tingidae 

 by its thorax being truncated behind, and the scutellum being 

 visible. 



Fam. CoREiD^. 



Gen. 1104. — Pantilius. Curt. 



Elliptical, -depressed : head small, subtrigonate : eyes very promi- 

 nent : rostrum not long, but very slender : antennae inserted 

 before the eyes, almost as long as the body, subsetaceous and 

 geniculated, 4-jointed, basal joint rather long, robust, and cylin- 

 dric, 2d thrice as long and slenderer, 3d not so long as the 1st, 

 and more slender, 4th the shortest, somewhat tongue-shaped : 

 thorax trapezoid : scutellum triangular : vdngs considerably longer 

 than the body, superior very long and linear, a little dilated and 

 rounded at the apex, with 2 strong nervures forming a loop on 

 the membranous part : inferior wings ample : legs nearly of equal 

 length, the posterior tibiae rather the longest, and not bristly : 

 tarsi very short, basal joints minute. 



1. Tunicatus. Fab. 



This genus is identified by the shortness of the terminal 

 joints of the antennae, by its smooth and comparatively short 

 hinder tibiae, and the short tarsi. 



Gen. 1114. — Loricula. Curt. 



FoUiform :b head elongated, cylindric, the nasus produced : antennae 

 attached to 2 scapes before the eyes, which are lateral, but not 

 very prominent, shorter than the body, slightly clavate, and 

 4-jointed, basal joint short and subovate, 2d the longest, sub-

 rather stouter, and ovate at the apex : rostrum long and atte-
