46 NOTES ON JAMAICAN HEMIPTERA 



with Stal's short description except that in some the frontal 

 fovae are fuscous or black and the base of the tergum is orange 

 yellow. Two males taken at Biscayne Bay, Florida, by Mrs. 

 Slosson differ only in having the abdomen, its apex excepted, 

 fulvous. At Rock Fort I took with the above males one 

 brachypterous female that I believe belongs here. This agrees 

 with the males in all structural details but it is larger (2 mm.) 

 and entirely pale testaceous tinged with yellow, with the frontal 

 fovae and sides of the tergum embrowned. The base of the 

 tergum is fulvous as in the male; the elytra are faintly smoky 

 hyaline with the marginal nervure white; oviduct black. 



Liburnia Andromeda n. sp. 



Allied to seminigra but smaller and more brightly colored. Head, 

 pronotum and scutellum entirely black, polished; clypeus, breast, metanotum 

 and base of the tergum and elytra, orange; narrow posterior and lateral edges 

 of the pronotum and extreme tip of the scutellum white; basal joint of the 

 antennae black, second whitish. Legs pale yellow; apex of the posterior 

 femora and base of the tibiae embrowned. Elytra reaching the middle of 

 the tergum, pellucid, tinged with orange at base and white toward the apex, 

 marginal nervures fulvous, becoming fuscous around the apex and on the 

 commissure behind the scutellum. Tergum orange at base, black across the 

 middle and on the sides, pale yellow at apex. Venter mostly orange, black 

 at apex. 



Vertex almost square, scarcely projecting before the eyes. Front 

 rather broad, a little narrowed above, disk transversely a little convex, 

 carinae not strongly differentiated. Pronotum short, lateral carinas curved 

 behind the eyes. Scutellum a little longer than the pronotum, lateral 

 carinae widely divergent, sharpely defined. Aperature of the pygofers 

 regularly oval as in seminigra; constricted dorsally by the lateral teeth 

 which are broad and not prominent, ventral notch shallow, obtuse; styles 

 slender, strongly arcuated at apex; plates narrow below, angularly truncated 

 at apex. Length 1 mm. 



Described from two brachypterous males; one taken at 

 Mandeville and one collected by Mr. R. J. Crew near Demerara, 

 British Guiana, April 2d, 1901. The latter specimen has the 

 abdomen almost entirely orange. 



Liburnia Teapae Fowler. 



(Biol. Centr. Am. Homop. I, p. 135, pi. 13, fig. 13.) 

 Taken at Kingston, Mandeville, Balaclava and Hope Bay. 

 This is a very black little insect with the antennas and legs tes- 

 taceous yellow. I brought home seven examples which exhibit 

 much variation in the depth of coloring on the elytra. In some 

 these are deep black with a small hyaline area on the costa
