A NEW SPECIES OF TINGID FROM NEW YORK. 



By J. R. DE LA Torre Bueno, White Plains, N. Y. 



Corythaica is a genus described by Stal to contain Tingis 

 monacha, from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, described by him in i860. 

 At present it contains several species, all from tropical or sub- 

 tropical regions. Van Duzee does not record any species from 

 the United States, and it is interesting to present one from as 

 far North as New York. 



Corythaica bellula, n. sp. Hood curving downward over head, white 

 with black keel down the middle, flanked by a single row of cells on each 

 side, becoming two posteriorly; broad and rounded posteriorly; nervures 

 dark (brown to black) ; keel of hood continuous with median keel of 

 thorax, which is higher. Eyes globose, black. Antennas thin, not as long 

 as head and prothorax together; joint 3 longest, thinnest; joint 4 next in 

 length, stoutest, fusiform, thickly set with setae; joint i and 2 shortest, 

 I stouter and longer than 2, nearly as stout as joint 4. Rostral groove 

 closed anteriorly, walls interrupted at anterior coxae, widest at posterior. 

 Rostrum reaching posterior coxse; joint I not visible, 2 longest, thin; 3 

 and 4 stoutest, subequal, apparently somewhat flattened, 4 black toward tip. 



Prothorax tumid anteriorly, produced in a point posteriorly and covering 

 scutellum, tricarinate, carinse nearly parallel, median slightly higher; a 

 median transverse groove before the middle; deeply punctured, punctures 

 merging into cells in the posterior flattened part; explanate lateral margin 

 extending from the anterior two-thirds of thorax, narrow, much reflexed, 

 nearly erect, with a single row of areoles, white, nervures concolorous. 

 Pleurse reticulated to coxae. Legs of nearly equal length, all femora 

 slightly incrassate, tibis slender, both unarmed ; coxae large, globose.
