This paper contains the descriptions of two new species 
of lacebugs, one from Australia and the other from the 
West Indies. The specimens were kindly sent to me by Dr. 
P. J. Darlington, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harv- 
ard University. The types have been returned to the above 
Museum. 
Teleonemia lustrabilis new sp.

ferrugineous. Length, 5.15 mm; width, 2.60 mm. 
Head with four brownish spines; anterior pair short, 
porrect; posterior pair appressed, barely attaining base 
of frontal pair. Bucculae large, reticulate, contiguous in 
front. Rostrum brownish blackish apically, barely reach- 
ing beyond mesosternum; rostral channel wide, not closed 
behind; laminae not very high, dark fuscous, uniseriate, 
diverging posteriorly on mesosternum, more widely sep- 
arate and cordate on metasternum. Orifice large, very con-

the latter barely enlarged. Pleura very coarsely pitted. 
Thorax beneath dark fuscous, the venter mostly brownish. 
Hypocostal laminae uniseriate, the areolae rounded. Orifice 
very large. 
Pronotum distinctly transversely convex, coarsely punc- 
tate, tricarinate; each carina uniseriate and with dorsal 
vein strongly incrassate; median carina moderately ele- 
vated, distinctly arched on disc, composed of rectangular
