Genus LAPPIDA Amyot and Serville 
Lappida AMyYoT and SERVILLE, Histoire naturelle des insectes. Hémiptéres, p. 505, 
1843. (Genotype, Dictyophara proboscidea Spinola, Ann. Soc. Hnt. France, 
ser. 1, vol. 8, p. 292, pl. 18, fig. 4, 1889 (as Dyctiophora proboscidea).) 
Vertex with an elongate, narrow cephalic process, usually expanded 
at apex. Pronotum produced anteriorly, shallowly angularly emar- 
ginate on hind margin, tricarinate, lateral carinae diverging basad; 
mesonotum tricarinate, lateral carinae arcuate. 
Protibiae elongated, distinctly exceeding length of profemora, post- 
tibiae with four or five spines. Tegmina elongate, rather narrow, 
vitreous, with supernumerary longitudinal veins, and an apical, sub- 
apical and nodal line of transverse veins; stigma with three or four 
cells, sometimes fewer. 
LAPPIDA species (7) 
PLATE 11, Figures 230-234 
Female: Length, 9.7 mm.; tegmen, 9.4 mm. 
Vertex with a narrow groove medially, as long as eyes, a definite 
constriction before eyes, lateral margins raised, slightly rounded in 
profile; cephalic process expanded at tip; frons with lateral mar- 
gins parallel, ampliate in apical third, converging to frontoclypeal 
suture. Pronotum with an impression on each side of median carina 
at middle, an oblique row of six granules followed by a row of three 
on each side. Profemora not toothed, posttibiae with five and six 
spines respectively. Stigma 2-celled. 
Green; margins of cephalic process, lateral carinae of frons basad 
of ocelli, granulation of pronotum, marginal carinae of pronotum, 
and a line below them, apex of rostrum, apex of femora, a basal 
spot on protibiae, protarsi and mesotarsi, and anal segment dark 
fuscous to piceous, a red and black line along sides of cephalic process; 
teemina yellowish, hyaline, stigma yellow, apical cells of M and Cuja, 
infuscate, less so basad, veins brown; wings vitreous, veins fuscous. 
Anal segment long, in side view expanding apically, obliquely 
truncate at apex. Ovipositor with first valvulae bearing six teeth 
on dorsal margin, second valvulae broad, greatly compressed laterally, 
sclerotized along outer margin near base, tapering evenly to apex, 
covered dorsally with a very thin folaceous lobe narrowing abruptly 
to a slender point, third valvulae (lateral styles) rather broad, elon- 
gate, roundly tapering to apex, where there is a constriction followed 
by a short narrow appendage.
