32. Hockeria testaceitarsis, sp. nov. 
Black, shining, the knees, anterior trochanters, apex of tibize, and tarsi testaceous ; 
wings hyaline, darker towards the apex, the nervures testaceous; apex of pronotum and ~ 
the sides of mesonotum at the scutellum fringed with pale fulvous hair. Antenne as 
long as the body ; the scape testaceous, black above. ¢. 
Length 2 mm. 
Localities. Cargados, Establishment Island (28th August). 
Head closely, somewhat strongly punctured, the occiput smooth behind the inner side 
of the eyes. Pro- and mesonotum punctured, distinctly, but not very strongly or 
closely ; the scutellum more closely and strongly punctured, its apex projecting in the 
middle, the sides of the projection broadly rounded, the middle with a shallow incision. 
Metanotum closely rugosely punctured; there is a A-shaped keel in the centre of the 
base. Pro- and mesopleurz closely punctured; the latter with a smooth space, with three 
foveze on the upper apical part. Metapleurze closely, finely reticulated. Abdomen 
smooth, shining, the apical segments finely aciculated. Femoral tooth broad, blunt, 
longer on the apical than on the basal side. 
In typical Hockeria the apex of the scutellum is bidentate, not with a slight rounded 
incision as in the present species.
