50 NOTES ON JAMAICAN HEMIPTERA 



Described from one macropterous female taken from grass 

 in a damp place by the Railroad tracks just west of the station 

 at Kingston, and a brachypterous female from Mandeville. 

 The broad form and straight lateral carinae of the pronotum as 

 well as the general pattern of marking separate this species 

 from Liburnia but I can find no established genus in which it 

 can be better placed and do not care to found a new genus with- 

 out access to fuller material. 



Liburnia ? dorsilinea n. sp. 



Size and general aspect of Stenocranus dorsalis but with a broad and 

 short vertex. Dull testaceous brown with a whitish dorsal stripe on the 

 vertex, pronotum and scutellum which is continued slenderly along the 

 elytral commissure to the tip of the clavus; elytra with a brown longitudinal 

 vitta, obsolete toward the base but strongly accentuated beyond the trans- 

 verse nervures; the surface interior to this vitta darker especially toward the 

 apex, with the nervures fuscous. Wings smoky hyaline with fuscous ner- 

 vures. Clypeus, legs and lower surface pale becoming whitish on the sides 

 of the venter; oviduct black on either side. 



Head broad with a short vertex, the fovae poorly defined. Front 

 moderately broad, rectilinear, scarcely narrowed between the eyes; apex 

 very feebly emarginate, median carina not strongly distinguished. Pro- 

 notum short, posterior margin quite deeply emarginate, lateral carinae fol- 

 lowing the curve of the eyes. Scutellum large with the sides regularly 

 arcuated. Length to tip of the elytra 5 mm. 



Described from one macropterous female taken at Balac- 

 lava April 5th. In color and marking this large species bears 

 a striking resemblance to our northern Stenocranus dorsalis but 

 it can at once, be distinguished by the short and broad vertex, 

 broad concolorous front, and the curved lateral carinas of the 

 pronotum. The carinas are poorly defined. 



Family Cercopidae 



Tomaspis bicincta Say. 



One example was swept from rank vegetation on a stony 

 hillside at Mandeville, March 31st. In this individual the 

 transverse bands are very faintly visible. It does not differ 

 otherwise from specimens of var. ignipecta in my collection 

 from the United States and Mexico. 



Clastoptera funesta Stal ? 



With the preceding I took one example of a small Clastop- 

 tera related to proteus that I place with some doubt as Stal's 

 funesta. It is deep black with a yellow band across the apex
