Gargara tuberculata may be recognized by the prominent 

 tubercles upon the veins of the tegmina and upon the pronotum. 



Entirely lemon yellow with white lines extending over the 

 shoulders. Head yellow. Posterior process set off from thorax 

 by deep notch on each side. Tegmina yellow, opaque; base 

 punctate and pubescent; veins nodulose. Undersurface of body 

 white tomentose. Legs yellow. 



Length, 4 to 4.5 mm. ; maximum width, 2 to 2.5 mm. 



Luzon, Los Banos (Baker) . 



Gargara luteipennis Funkh. 



Gargara luteipennis Funkh., Journ. Ent. & Zool. (1914), 6,- 71, 

 fig. 7. 



Gargara luteipennis is of about the size of G. tuberculata and 

 resembles it in color, but lacks the granules on tegmina and 

 pronotum. The tegmina are very characteristic, being a flat 

 yellow, not shining or glistening, and with broad, well-marked 

 veins. 



Entirely light yellow. Pronotum finely punctate, but not 

 pubescent. Posterior process acuminate, extending as far as 

 the internal angles of the tegmina. 



Length, 4 mm. ; maximum width, 2.5 mm. 



Luzon, Los Baiios (Baker). 



The single type specimen of this species bears Professor 

 Baker's duplicate No. 954. 



Gargara nitidipennis Funkh. 



Gargara nitidipennis FuNKH., Journ. Ent. & Zool. (1914), 6, 71. 



The type specimens of G. nitidipennis were rather small, the 

 type measuring 3.5 mm. and the allotype 3.33 mm. Material 

 has since been received which includes specimens 5 mm. in 

 length, so that the insect appears to be somewhat variable as 

 to size. 



The specific characters, however, are very constant, especially 

 the extremely iridescent tegmina and the brown- and yellow- 

 marked pronotum. The body is yellow with broad brown f ascise 

 on anterior metopidium and apex of posterior process. The 

 latter is strong and heavy, slightly depressed at tip, and reaching 

 to the internal angles of the tegmina. The undersurface of 

 the body is ferruginous brown, the legs often being lighter. 



Length, 3.5 to 5 mm.; maximum width, 1.3 to 2.2 mm.
