4 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IO7 



(i) (2) Clypeus about as large as frons, tegmina with 3 rows of 

 regularly arranged areoles in membrane ; eye viewed from 

 above 1.5 times width of vertex, tegmina with M arising 

 from R at base Neomiasa, new genus 



(2) (i) Clypeus not nearly as large as frons, tegmina with veins of 



membrane more or less irregular (3) 



(3) (4) Tegmina semicircularly rounded apically, cells of membrane 



not or scarcely longer than broad Dictyopharoides Fowler 



(4) (3) Tegmina more deeply rounded than above, M forming a 



common stalk with R for some distance, all cells of mem- 

 brane much longer than broad, if not, then apical margin 

 abruptly indented in M. Eye in dorsal view equal to width of 

 vertex Paramisia Melichar 



Genus PARAMISIA Melichar 



Paramisia Melichar, 1912, Abh. Zool. Bot. Ges. Wien, vol. 7, No. i, p. 79. 

 (Orthotype, P. suturata Melichar, ibid.) 



Width of eye vievi^ed from above equal to width of vertex. 

 Tegmina w^ith stigma 2- or 4-celled, M markedly stalked vi^ith R for 

 some distance, apex of tegmen deeply rounded, sometimes abruptly 

 emarginate in M. 



PARAMISIA RUFISTIGMA (Walker), new combination 



Dictyophara rufistigma Walker, 1851, List Hom., vol. 2, p. 313. 



Dictyophara sidcirostris Berg, 1879, An. Soc. Cient. Argentina, vol. 8, p. 182. 



A male specimen of D. sidcirostris Berg (labeled Colon, Monte- 

 video 15. V. 96 O. Thomas coll. 1909-337) w^as found to agree v^^ith the 

 female type of D. rufistigma Walker, differing only in having an 

 extra cell in the stigma. 



PARAMISIA FILIFERA (Walker), new combination 



Plate 2, figures 32-35 

 Dictyophara filifera Walker, 1858, List Hom. Suppl., p. 64. 



Pronotal disc tricarinate, distinctly raised and acute anteriorly. 

 Tegmina with stigma 3-celled, apical margin sharply indented in 

 cell M 3. 



Frons with a piceous spot on each side of base of cephalic process. 

 Tegmina with stigma green, membrane evenly brown, with a V- 

 shaped hyaline area extending inward across cell M 3. 



The description and figures are of the type. The shape of the 

 tegmina is generally similar to that of the African Raphiophora, but 

 the two are not congeneric.
