Hesperotingis Parshley. 



Form ovate, broadly so in the short-winged forms; surface of 

 hemielytra distinctly but not strongly convex in both forms ; anten- 

 nae incrassate, the third segment distinctly clavate, sub-cylindrical 

 at base and apex. Hood very feebly developed, prothorax other-

Long-winged form. Brown; head, pronotum, and antennae 

 beyond the middle inf uscated ; membranous portions between the 

 veinlets opaque white. Anterior margin of pronotum, hood, 

 anterior portion of paranota, and margins and apical region of 

 angulate process, yellow. Veinlets of hemielytra light brown, a 

 few irregularly darker ; veins defining discoidal area, sometimes 

 one running obliquely across it, one extending from its apex, and 

 one near and parallel with sutural margin, dark brown. Third 

 antennal segment very large, clavate, in basal third more slender 

 than the second, in apical third about as wide as the first is long. 

 Form elongate oval. Length 3.7-4.5 mm. 



New Haven, 4 Sept., 191 1 (C. E. Olsen). 



Alveotingis Osborn and Drake. 



Small shining species of elongate oval form, having the third 

 antennal segment clavate, smallest at base and cylindrical toward 

 apex ; hemielytra very convex, without costate main veins, although 

 the outlines of the areas are traceable. One species is known from 

 New England. 

 A. grossocerata Osborn and Drake. 



Ohio St. Univ. Bull., xx, 245, 1916. 



Dark brown, veinlets black, areolar membranes gray. Antennae 

 and legs grayish brown. Body beneath black. Hemielytra ample, 

 extending considerably beyond apex of abdomen; sutural area 

 with areoles grading larger inwardly and toward apex; general 

 surface strongly convex, smooth shining. 



Short-winged form. Similar to the preceding except that the 

 pronotum is flat and narrowed ; and the hemielytra are but little 

 longer than the body, the areoles small and nearly equal in size. 

 Length 2.8-3.4 mm.
