NOTES ON NORTH AMERICAN TINGIDA (HEM.—HET.). 
By Cart J. Draxe, New York State College of Forestry. 
Corythucha immaculata Osborn and Drake. I have numerous 
specimens. of this insect from California, Oregon, Washington, 
Idaho and Montana. The Montana specimens were taken on 
balsam-root, Balsamorrhiza saggitata (Pursh) Nutt., by Prof. 
Cooley, May 16, 1918, also at various times during the summer 
of 1917. The species is slightly variable in size and C. pura Gib- 
son does not seem to be distinct from it. 
Galeatus peckhami Ashmead. One specimen of this peculiar 
insect was taken at Rock City, Cattaraugus County, N. Y. Mee Die.

Genus CALOTINGIS n. gen. 
Buccule narrow, not contiguous in front. Antenne long, slender, the 
first segment a little thicker and longer than the second, the third segment 
very long, cylindrical, slenderest, the fourth segment fusiform. Anten- 
niferous tubercles slender and short, a rather broad, short, lace-like struc- 
ture projecting beneath the eyes. Rostral groove uninterrupted, greatly 
widened on the metasternum, closed at the apex by a narrow, nearly trans- 
verse ridge, a continuation of the lateral lamine. Pronotum tricarinate; 
hood rather large, narrow, rounded above, extending to the apex of the 
head, but not covering the eyes; paranota very large, erect, forming large 
bulbiform processes somewhat like in the genus Dichocysta Champ., but 
not closed within by the lateral carinz. Metasternal orifices distinct. 
Head with five slender spines beneath the hood, the spines arranged as in 
related genera. Elytra extending to far beyond the apex of the abdomen, 
rounded at! the apices. Discoidal area not extending to the middle of the 
elytra, the margins raised; costal and subcostal areas rather broad. Wings 
present. 
This remarkable American insect belongs to the group of 
Tingide that are distinctly lacy, as in Corythucha Stal, Leptostyla 
Stal, etc., and the areole are mostly hyaline. In the formation 
of the paranota the genus somewhat resembles the genus Dicho- 
cysta Champ., but readily separated from it by the hood, open 
buccule in front, slender antennz, delicate lacy structures, etc. 
Type of genus C. knighti sp. nov.
