FF. Less closely punctured, number of punctures along

rugulosa n. sp. 
DD. Dorsal carine less distinct, not at all tortuous, sometimes 
nearly obsolete. 
G. Maximum number of series of punctures in subcostal 
areca 
H. Clavus or claval area with about 4 series of punc- 
tures; color uniform fuscous....... protea n. sp. 
HH. Clavus or claval area with about 3 series of punc- 
tures; typical color stramineous with conspicu-

GG. Maximum number of series of punctures in subcostal

I. Form more depressed, subcostal area less deflexed; 
Color DRO WME ee He eee a ection depressa n. sp. 
II. Form thicker, subcostal area vegy convex and de- 
flexed; front margin of pronotum nearly or quite 
angularly emarginate; color pale....imcisa n. sp.

Piesma patruela, n. sp. 
A species recognizable by the swollen posterior lobe, promi- 
nent humeral region and narrowed front of thorax, together with 
the reticulated area between posterior extension of brachial vein 
and membrane being distinctly scalloped in outline and decurrent 
farthest on extension of cubital vein. The carine of the thorax 
are merely low rounded swellings and the posterior prolongations 
of the paranota are evanescent before reaching humeral angles. 
Areolar formula, see table, page 92. Length 2.25 mm. 
The ground color is pale ivory, with the callosities, and head 
except processes, black; scutellum, streaks on thorax, and spots 
on all parts of elytron except base of corium and membrane, 
dark brown; under surface chiefly dark brown. In color and 
form of thorax this insect suggests Leptoypha mutica Say.
