narrowed at apical portion, strongly bent inwardly, a broad spinelike 
process on left apical margin of ninth ventral segment. 
Distinguished from the other species in the genus by the longer 
rostrum and different length of antennal segments; from 7’. san- 
guinalis Kirkaldy and 7. minutus Poppius by the pale membrane and 
from 7’. piceatus Distant and 7’. discoidalis Poppius by the uniform 
color of hemelytra.

THAUMASTOMIRIS DISSIMILIS, new species 
Male.—Body ovate, length 3.25 mm., width 1.85 mm., clothed with 
short simple pale hairs which are somewhat longer on pronotum; 
yellowish brown with dark brown markings on dorsum. 
Head yellowish brown, vertical, strongly produced below eyes, 
width across eyes 0.8 mm., length seen from above 0.35 mm., height 
seen from side 0.56 mm.; vertex somewhat flat, width 0.45 mm., trans- 
versely impressed, forming a distinct posterior callus; frons strongly 
convex, clypeus moderately prominent, discrete from frons, jugum 
and lorum confluent. Eyes medium, rounded, prominent, touching 
anterior margin of pronotum. Antennae linear, inserted a little 
distance in front of eyes, dark brown, first segment for the most part 
and second segment at apex paler, length of segments I: IL: III: 1V= 
0.35 mm.: 0.62 mm.: 0.45 mm.: 0.6 mm., first segment the thickest, sec- 
ond segment very slightly incrassate towards apex, where the thickness 
equals that of the first segment. Rostrum thick, length 1.05 mm., 
reaching apex of intermediate coxae, third and fourth segments taken 
together longer than the first but shorter than the second. 
Pronotum anteriorly slightly declivent, distinctly granulate, dark 
brown, two large spots each on the lateral margin behind callus yel- 
lowish brown; length 0.55 mm., width at base 1.1 mm., at apex 0.5 
mm., posterior margin straight, lateral margins slightly sinuate, 
posterior angles rounded; apical collar nearly as long as the thickness 
of first antennal segment; calli distinct, smooth, separated from each 
other by a broad impression. Scutellum small, triangular, flat, dark 
brown. 
Hemelytra with base of cuneus attaining apex of abdomen, pale 
erayish, a broad transverse band on corium behind the middle, inner 
margin on clavus broadly, commissure broadly, and embolar margins 
very narrowly, dark brown; embolar margins slightly and evenly 
convex, length 1.5 mm.; cuneus long, lateral margins at base narrowly
