Abstract

The New World lace bugs (Tingidae) Acalypta emarginata, n. sp., from Guatemala, and Cervantestingis galeata, n. gen. and n. sp., from Veracruz, Mexico, are diagnosed, described, and illustrated. The discovery of Acalypta emarginata in Central America represents one of the southern-most hemisphere records for a species of this largely temperate, moss-feeding genus of Tingidae. The relationship of C. galeata with species of Acalypta are discussed.
