Gargara nigrocarinata is a small black species, recognizable 

 by the high ridge on the posterior process and the delicate 

 hyaline tegmina with their sharply marked black bases. 



The pronotum is finely punctate and bears short, yellowish 

 or silvery hairs; obtusely rounded in front with prominent 

 lateral angles; median carina obsolete before humeral angles, 

 but well developed posteriorly and becoming high and sharp 

 on posterior process. Head longer than wide; eyes prominent, 

 usually reddish in the females and pearly in the males. 



Length, 3 to 3.5 mm.; maximum width, 1.5 to 1.8 mm.

Gargara brunnea Funkh.

 fig. 2. 



Robust, brown, punctate, pubescent. Head broader than 

 long, inflexed. Pronotum low and broad anteriorly; humeral 

 angles obtuse ; posterior process long, sloping downward, extend- 

 ing slightly beyond internal angles of tegmina, apex carinate. 

 Tegmina opaque hyaline, except at base, which is brown and 

 punctate. 



Length, 3.5 to 4 mm. ; maximum width, 2 to 2.3 mm.

Gargara trifoliata Funkh. Plate H, fig. 19. 



Gargara trifoliata FuNKH., Journ. N. Y, Ent. Soc. (1914), 22, 235, 

 fig. 3. 



The largest and most distinct of all the species of this genus 

 hitherto described from the Islands is Gargara trifoliata. It 

 should be easily recognized by the large trifoliate white marking 

 on each tegmen and by the very long, decurved posterior process. 



Black, punctate, head and anterior pronotum pubescent. 

 Posterior process heavy and strongly tricarinate, extending to 

 a point more than halfway between the internal angle and the 

 tip of the tegmen, Tegmina black for basal two thirds, on this 

 black area the characteristic clover-leaf hyaline spot, apical third 

 orange-yellow, tip bearing brown band. 



Length, 8 mm. ; maximum width, 4 mm. 



Luzon, Mount Maquiling (Baker).
