Genus HARMOSTICTA new name 



As pointed out by Breddin the division Cleradaria is more 

 related to Stal's Lethaearia than to any other division of the 

 subfamily Myodochinae; and the genus Edulica, although cor- 

 rectly placed in the Cleradaria by Distant, forms a distinct 

 transition to the Gastrodaria (Lethaearia) by the first rostral 

 joint, which almost reaches the base of the head. The name 

 Edulica being preoccupied by Edulica Hampson, 1901, in Lepi- 

 doptera, I propose for Edulica Distant the name Harmostica. 



HETEROGASTRIN.^ 



Sadoletus valdezi sp. nov. 



Oblong, black; posterior lobe of pronotum ochraceous, with 

 two broad pale brownish (sometimes dark fuscous) percurrent 

 vittse, separated by a narrow pale line; apical half (or at least 

 apex) of scutellum castaneous with a pale median line; corium 

 and clavus whitish, membrane hyaline, a spot on fore and middle 

 acetabula and apical callus of orificia ferruginous; abdomen 

 often castaneous, male genital segment rufescent in the middle; 

 antennse and rostrum testaceous, the former with the fourth 

 and often also the third joint fuscous, legs whitish testaceous, 

 tibise entirely, or at least above, and last two tarsal joints in- 

 fuscate ; body (including corium) clothed with a short, deciduous, 

 golden sericeous pubescence, more thickly so on upper side of 

 head and anterior pronotal lobe. Head a little narrower than 

 base of anterior pronotal lobe, second joint of antennas twice 

 the length of first, rostrum reaching middle coxae. Pronotum 

 with a faint transverse impression before the middle, anterior 

 lobe a little narrowed from base to apex, posterior lobe about 

 twice the length of anterior lobe, thickly and finely punctured 

 with brown. Corium and clavus with fine fuscous punctation, 

 the uniseriately punctate basal part of the exocorium much 

 shorter than the biseriately punctate apical part, in which the 

 interstice between the two rows of punctures is plane, not 

 elevated. Pectus sparsely punctate. Front femora in the apical 

 half with a very small (sometimes wanting) spine. 



Length, male, 3.5 millimeters; female, 3.8. 



Male. — Sixth ventral segment in the middle as long as the 

 two preceding ones together; genital segment rather small, as 

 broad as half the basal width of scutellum. 



Female. — Third, fourth, and fifth ventral segments with 

 straight apical margins, as long in the middle as at the sides; 

 sixth segment as long as fifth, except in the middle, where it
