22 NOTES ON JAMAICAN HEMIPTERA 



further West Indian material would connect these with the 

 darker specimens from the main-land described by Mr. Cham- 

 pion. 



Teleonemia sacchari Fabr. 



Taken in numbers at almost all places where I collected on 

 the island. 



Teleonemia scrupulosa Stal. 



Taken with the preceding and equally abundant. I dis- 

 tinguish this species most readily by its smaller size, paler color, 

 the longer pale spines on the head, and particularly by the much 

 wider costal area. 



Teleonemia prolixa Stal. 



Troja, April 14th, one example. Mr. Otto Heidemann 

 who has determined this species for me and who has very kindly 

 assisted me in the verification of some of the doubtful species of 

 the Tingids thinks this the "var. a" of prolixa as described by 

 Mr. Champion. This is a larger and darker species than 

 sacchari, with a narrower and more sinuated costal margin. I 

 have in my collection a still larger and darker specimen taken 

 by Mr. R. J. Crew near Demerara, British Guiana, April 12th, 

 1 90 1. 



Teleonemia cylindricornis Champ. 



This is a larger and paler species of which I took two 

 specimens at Mandeville and one at Hope Gardens, near Kings- 

 ton, among weeds by a roadside on March 27th. This species 

 is separable from the two preceding by its larger size, longer 

 and stouter antennae, and by the partially biseriate costal area. 

 It is very close to variegata Champ, of which Mr.' Otto Heide- 

 mann has very kindly sent me an example taken in Arizona. I 

 can separate cylindricornis by its having the median pronotal 

 carina distinctly elevated in front and the lateral carinse almost 

 parallel behind, not distinctly divergent as in variegata ; and 

 the costal area is much more distinctly biseriate. The antennas 

 are longer and stouter and the elytra more ampliated, but these 

 characters are less noticeable. 



Atheas nigricornis Champ. 



Several examples of this species were swept from herbage 

 in a pasture at Mandeville, March 30th. These have the extreme
