Certain characters of this species approach those of the genus 

 Peggia (Nebrissa Stal). 



Genus MINLANA novum 



Vertex very short and very broad with a fine carina around 

 the edges ; face as broad as the vertex, constricted on lower half 

 between antennae, the fine carinse of vertex continued down the 

 center of the face with a fine groove between them, no distinct 

 carinse on lateral edges ; eyes round with a small antennal emar- 

 gination on lower edge ; clypeus longer than face, carinse obsolete ; 

 antennae large and flat. Costal cell narrow on basal fourth, 

 beyond which it is practically obsolete, subcostal cell very narrow, 

 radial cell very narrow to cross vein, beyond which it widens 

 considerably, cubitus with four' veins reaching hind margin, 

 media with four sectors; wings rudimentary, not reaching to 

 middle of abdomen. Genital styles of female well developed. 



Mindana latifrons sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 12. 



Antennae longer than thorax and abdomen together, arista a 

 little cephalad of apex, beyond which the apex is subacute; sur- 

 face studded with brown sense organs, which are most numerous 

 around the edges. Tarsi and apices of femora fuscous ; abdomen 

 with two dark, shining bands across dorsum broken in the mid- 

 dle ; genitalia dark fuscous. Tegmina clear hyaline, dark fuscous 

 over apical half of costal and all subcostal areas, extending at 

 apex of tegmen to apex of media, veins dark fuscous. 



Medioventral process of pygophor turbinate, with the acute 

 end apical; anal segment subcaudate, with the acute end basal, 

 slightly longer than broad, anus in middle ; genital styles long, . 

 narrow, slightly curved, apex rounded, a small obtuse-angular 

 projection on ventral edge near base, a small, round projection 

 on dorsal edge about middle. 



Length, 4 millimeters; tegmen, 10. 



Female. — Slightly fuscous over middle of pro- and mesonotum, 

 otherwise similar to the male. 



Pregenital sternite broader than long, hind margin obtuse- 

 angularly produced from sides to middle; anal segment longer 

 than broad, slightly narrowed to the apex, which is emarginate. 



Length, 4 millimeters; tegmen, 10.
