264 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA. [.No. 7. 



MonantMa Fab. 

 M. labeculata n. sp. 



Form similar to that of M. nassata Puton, but with a shorter prouotum and smaller 

 meshes to the hemelytra, color fuscogriseus. Head short, convex, bronze-black, 

 closely punctate, convex, the tylus vertical, buccuhe large, lamelliform, whitish, 

 coarsely pitted in common with the gula; antennae rufous, the basal and apical 

 joints and the base of the second joint black; rostrum piceous, reaching to between 

 the middle coxa 1 . Prouotum a little darker than the hemelytra, convex, prominently 

 lobate each side, the lobes long-oval, occupying the. whole length, and divaricating 

 posteriorly, the sunken longitudinal between them occupied by a piceous carina 

 which is continued back to the tip of the scutellum, the surface covered with 

 coarse sunken punctures, with short, yellowish hairs in the spaces, collum whitish, 

 prominent in the middle, granulated and blackish piceous behind; humeri strongly 

 convex, blackish and granulated at the faintly carinated lateral margin; beneath 

 black, the propleura? piceous, coarsely punctate, but the tumid pieces of the meso — 

 and metasternum smooth. Scutellum grayish testaceous, with the baso-lateral 

 divaricating carinse short, piceous, granulate, confined to the outer angles, the me-" 

 dial carina pale testaceous except at base, the surface granulate in lines, a little 

 punctate and minutely, remotely pubescent. Corium pale-grayish testaceous, a 

 little tinged with bronze, remotely punctate and pubescent, studded with piceous 

 granules, and with the discoidal vein especially prominent; blackish, bullate and 

 uneven, the cells of the membrane usually with dusky veins, and the cross veinlets 

 of the costal border, including those of the membrane, black, the coarse vein bor- 

 dering the corium often piceous black. Venter dull black, obsoletely rostrate. 



Length to tip of wing-covers, 3 mra ; width of prouotum, 1 mm . Nine specimens 

 were taken from Pintis monojphylla, on the Argus mountains in May, 1891. 



The species bears some resemblance to others of this genus common in Brazil and 



Central America. 



Leptoypha Stal. 



L. mutica Say. Tingis mntica Leconte Ed. Say's Writings, vol. i, p. 349. 



A dozen or more specimens of this common insect were collected on t!ie Argus 

 mountains in April and May. I find no difference to separate these specimens from 

 those of Texas and other parts of the United States.
