Genital claspers distinctive (Text-fig. 7) ; remarkable for the slender chitinous. 

 blade wbich projects mesad and obliquely distad from inner face of left clasper. 



Length 5-6 mm., width 2 mm. Head : width 1-01 mm., vertex 

 •43 mm. Antennae : segment I, length -91 mm. ; II, 2-29 mm. ; III, 1-6 mm. ; 

 IV, broken. Pronotum : length 1-04 mm., width at base 1-68 mm. Very 

 similar to the male in form and coloration. 



Savaii :- — Salailua : 4 specimens (including holotype and allotype), 

 23.V.1924 (Bryan). 



29. Lygus hopkinsi, sp. n. 



Allied to L. bryani,n. sp., having much the same form and colour aspect, 

 but easily distinguished by the shorter rostrum and first antennal segment ; 

 genital claspers distinctive. 



Colour. — Very similar to L. bryani ; ground colour pale yellowish, probably 

 tinged with greenish in life ; pronotum dark brownish to blackish, calli and 

 median line of disc yellowish. Head yellowish to brownish, tylus darker. 

 Antennae brownish to black, first segment brownish. Scutellum dark brownish 

 or fuscous, clavus blackish in dark specimens. Corium with fusco-brownish on 

 inner apical angles. Cuneus uniformly yellowish translucent. Membrane and 

 veins rather uniformly brownish-black, a slightly paler spot at middle. Venter 

 pale yellowish, lateral margins with a broad brownish stripe which extends upon 

 genital segment. Legs yellowish, tibiae and spines brownish, femora with 

 brownish on apical half, but not distinctly banded. 



Structure. — ^. Length 4-4 mm., width 1-56 mm. across tip of scutellum, 

 and 1-25 mm. across tip of embolium. Head : width -88 mm., vertex -34 mm. ; 

 basal carina evident as a slight ridge or step-down to the collum. Rostrum^ 

 length 1-56 mm., reaching upon middle of hind coxae. Antennae : segment I, 

 length -74 mm., cylindrical ; II, 1-86 mm., slender ; III, broken. Pronotum : 

 length -91 mm., width at base 1-43 mm. ; disc finely rugulose punctate, lateral 

 margins rounded, slightly more sulcate than in bryani, calli evident as a trans- 

 verse swelling at anterior margin of disc, anterior angles rounded and confluent 

 with swelling of calli, collar distinct. Scutellum only slightly convex, trans- 

 versely rugulose. Clavus finely punctate, corium impunctate but with minute 

 depressions evident in certain lights. Dorsum clothed with fine, recumbent, 

 yellowish pubescence ; sericeous hairs not evident. Hemielytra widest across 

 tip of scutellum and distinctly narrower across tip of embolium ; cuneous and
