costal cross veins and the apical veins; wings minute, hardly 

 reaching beyond apex of scutellum, triangular, reddish ; stridulat- 

 ing area large. 



Male. — Ventral edge of pygophor at middle with a small an- 

 gular process; the edges of pygophor produced into a long 

 process, narrowing to the bluntly rounded apex; anal segment 

 not reaching to end of lateral processes, little longer than wide, 

 narrowed toward apex; rounded; anus at apex and ventrad; 

 anal style in lateral view larger than, and appearing as the distal 

 portion of, the anal segment; styles not reaching to end of 

 lateral processes, narrow, broadest at base, apices turned inward, 

 lying within the pygophor; aedeagus large. 



Female. — Pregenital sternite slightly angularly produced at 

 middle; stj'les (ovipositor and sheath) abortive; on each side of 

 the genital area a plate (lateral plate), with its ventral portion 

 subcircular ; a small process in the middle meets a corresponding 

 process from the other side, the dorsal portion conical ; the anal 

 segment, which lies between the conical portions, is small, about 

 as long as broad; anal styles rounded at apex and longer than 

 anal segment. 



Length, 1.80 millimeters; tegmen, 5.8.

Leomelicharia delicata sp. nov. 



Light brown, pronotum with a light mark on the middle; 

 mesonotum darker on lateral angles; abdomen dorsally with 

 four lines of lighter spots; legs, apex of abdomen, and abdom- 

 inal sternites yellow. Tegmina hyaline, vitreous, slightly tinged 

 with yellow, a fuscous mark along costal area covering costal 

 and subcostal cells to apex, a series of yellow spots occupying 

 most of costal cell from middle to apex, veins reddish, especially 

 costa and apical veins ; wings minute, triangular, fuscous, stridu- 

 lating area large. 



Male. — Ventral edge of pygophor not drawn out into a point, 

 lateral projections acutely angular, apex pointed; anal segments 

 shorter than lateral projections, constricted near apex; anal 

 style large, arising from apex of segment on ventral side, in 

 lateral view the segment and style appear as if composed of 

 three pieces; genital styles not quite reaching to end of lateral 

 processes, narrow, bluntly pointed at apex, broader and rounder 

 at base. 



Female. — Lateral plates on genital area much smaller than in 

 L. nigrovittata, dorsal plates forming a small triangle, the ventral
