716 PROF. P. R. UHLER ON HEMIPTEEA-HITEROPTERA [NoV. 21, 



Length to end of venter 2| millim., to tip of membrane 2|-3 

 millim. ; width of base of pronotum g-l^ millim. 



Numerous specimens, including some of both sexes, were collected 

 in various parts of the island. This species is also common in Cuba, 

 and I have swept specimens of it from weeds in the department of 

 the Grand Anse, Hayti. Other specimens have also been seen by 

 me, which were collected in Southern Florida, Mexico, Jamaica, and 

 Brazil. This form will illustrate the variation which occurs in the 

 joints of the antennae, some specimens having the antenuse tapering, 

 while in others the apical joints are abruptly setaceous. 



Fam. TiNGiTiD^. 



TxPoifOTtrs, gen. nov. 



Form similar to Gargaphia, StSl, but lacking the transverse 

 carina at the end of the mesosternum. The pronotal hood pro- 

 tracted long in front of the head, acutely compressed at tip and 

 curved downwards, opaque, carinate on the middle line, with two 

 longitudinal series of sunken areoles, followed beneath at base by 

 a shorter series of smaller ones, with the lower border strongly 

 reflexed. Carina of the mesonotum high, indistinctly areolate, 

 arched and sinuated. "Wing-covers almost flat, subquadrangular, 

 narrowing posteriorly, the costal ai-ea ampliated about the middle, 

 with the border strongly reflexed ; the basal division of the area is 

 occupied by two imperfect series of areoles, which are followed 

 towards the tip by a single series of much larger ones. Sternal 

 carinas high, set wide apart, and curving on the metasternum. 

 Throat enclosed by an elevated border of the prostethium. The 

 antennae slender, of medium length, with the apical joint short, 

 clavate. Pronotal lobes subtriangvdar, widely extended, protracted 

 in a narrow lobe anteriorly, reflexed, set with curving series of 

 nearly circular, large areoles. Legs slender. 



Typonottis planaeis, sp. nov. 



Oblong, milk-white, opaque, contracted at the base of wing- 

 covers and narrowing obhquely behind the middle, marked with 

 brown across the sunken middle of the pronotum and in the 

 grooves each side of the hood. Hood long and narrow, acutely 

 compressed at tip. Scutellum with an obscm-e spot each side. 

 Veins of the wing-covers a Uttle dusky in patches, sometimes 

 tinged with yellow, the discoidal area with a dusky spot at base 

 and tip, the costal area usually with a brown crescent near the 

 base and one or two spots near the tip ; veins of the membrane 

 marked with fuscous so as to form a broad, double, transverse loop 

 next the tip : this dark area encloses cells of a larger size and more 

 transparent colour than those of the corium. Underside black, 

 with the bucculse, margins of the pleural pieces, and sternal carina 

 whitish. _ Legs pale fulvous, darker at the ends of femora, tibia, 

 and tarsi. Autennae pale, the clavate apical joint dusky.
