gin smooth. Elytra finely and seriately punctate, the row on 

 the corium next to the claval suture, the basal part of the adja- 

 cent row, and the three claval rows more coarsely impressed, 

 commissure of clavus somewhat shorter than scutellum. Abdo- 

 men beneath with fine scattered recumbent hairs easily coming 

 off, the suture between the third and fourth segments very weak 

 or indistinct. 



Length, male, 2.3 millimeters; female, 2.5. 



Macropterous form. — Pronotum distinctly narrowed from the 

 base of the postcollar inflection; elytra reaching a little beyond 

 apex of abdomen, apical margin of corium straight, membrane 

 longer than broad. 



Brachypteroits form. — Pronotum very slightly narrowed from 

 the base to the postcollar inflection; elytra (female) reaching 

 middle of last dorsal segment, apical margin of corium rounded, 

 the interior part of this margin touching that of the other corium 

 behind the claval commissure, membrane crescent-shaped, short 

 but well defined, about twice broader than long, distinct to the 

 very apical angle of the corium.

The body of the female is higher and more robust than that 

 of the male. The above description of the pronotum includes 

 some generic characters. 



Differs from L. tartarea Dist. by smaller size, much less pilose 

 body, shorter antennae, much less punctured pronotum, a little 

 longer elytra in the brachypterous form with more developed 

 membrane, and finer and more seriate punctation of the corium. 

 From L. blandiila Bredd. it is distinguished by the much less 

 punctate pronotum, etc. 



In a paper sent for publication some time ago, but not yet 

 published, I have expressed the supposition that the genus Lua 

 would prove to have a macropterous form, and I now find that 

 Lua Dist. (1909) represents the brachypterous form and Lis- 

 pochroa Bredd. (1907) the macropterous form of the same genus. 

 Breddin's excellent and detailed description leaves no room 

 for doubt as to this synonymy. Lispochroa tartarea is specifi- 

 cally distinct from blandula by the pilose body, longer second 

 antennal joint, and coarser, thinner, and less seriate punctation 

 of the corium. Distant placed the genus near Xestocoris 

 V. Duz. (Rhaptus Dist. nee Stal), but it is more related to 

 Lispolophus Bergr., near which it should be placed, as suggested 

 by Breddin.
