1930 ] Cuban Tropiduchidx and Acanaloniidx 399 
In general facies this species resembles Neurotmeta 
sponsa Guer., except for much shorter vertex and broader 
form, aside from smaller size. It was listed by Valdes, 
1910a, under the name given on the label in the Gundlach 
Museum, but it is quite distinct from Monopsis tabida, 
which does not appear to have been taken since the original 
description was published. Dozier, 1928a, says that Monop- 
sis tabida was described from Cuban material, but he is 
evidently mistaken, as Spinola only mentions the “United 
States.” On what authority the species has been listed by 
Van Duzee and others from Florida, we are unable to learn. 
Pelitropis rotulata Van Duzee 
This species is rather common in Cuba. Specimens are 
at hand from Omaja, Oriente, July 24, 1927, S. C. B.; Sto. 
Thomas, P. de Zapata; Sto. Clara, May 5-9, 1927, S. C. B. 
and J. A.; Santiago de las Vegas and Cojimar, Habana, 
S. C. B.; Sierra Rangel, P. del Rio, August 29, 1927, alti- 
tude 1500 feet; Camaguey, December 29, 1921, J. A.; and 
Nagua, Oriente, July 7, 1922, S. C. B. and C. H. B. 
Nymphs are at hand from Nagua and from Santiago 
de las Vegas. They resemble the adult in a general way, 
being bright green in color with the Carinas tending toward 
bright orange. Vertex, distinctly spatulate, about as in 
the adult with the posterior border deeply incised and with 
a distinct median carina. Frons differs in having two 
strongly elevated median Carinas and a pair of intermediate 
carinas which originate on the clypeal border about mid- 
way between the median carina and the lateral border and 
diverge upward, uniting with the carina at the apical border 
in front of the compound eyes. 
Female genitalia, the last ventral segment of the female, 
is as long as the penultimate and about two-thirds as wide. 
Male genitalia, eighth segment very short; deeply and 
roundly emarginate. Ninth segment ring-like, the caudal 
margins sinuate. Genital plates broadly triangular in out- 
line, ventral margins slightly curved and contiguous. Tenth 
segment elongate, exceeding the genital plates. The caudal 
margins reflexed over the apex of the genital plates. Anal 
spines small, conical.
