( Fig. 10 ) Material examined: 1M, New Guinea , NE, Morobe dist., Wau, 8–9.IV.1982 , light trap, R.T. Bell, BPBM . Description: Body brownish to yellowish, a transverse band across middle of hemelytra and apex of sutural area darker; head, hind tarsi, last antennal segment, and calli dark brown. Body length, 3.67; width, 0.93. Head small, armed with five spines; occipital spines moderately long and slender; frontal and median spines short and bulbous; bucculae long and narrow, triseriate, closed in front; antennae long and slender, antennal segments measurements: I, 0.17; II, 0.1; III , 1.23; IV, 0.47; rostral sulcus narrow, metasternal laminae slightly widened at middle, open behind; rostrum reaching meso­metasternal suture. Pronotum long, narrow and strongly gibbose, tricarinate, carinae parallel, slightly raised, uniseriate, the areolae almost indistinct; collar wide, three areolae wide, not raised on top; paranota narrow, uniseriate opposite to calli, the areolae small, otherwise ridgelike, reflexed onto the pronotum. Hemelytra much longer than abdomen, as narrow as pronotum; costal area straight, narrow, uniseriate, the areolae tiny; subcostal area wider than costal area, biseriate, the areolae small; discoidal area longer than half the hemelytra, nine areolae wide at widest part; sutural area large, 13 areolae wide at widest part, the areolae larger than on other areas. Etymology: The name is a combination of nona (nine) with areolae (cells as small delimited spaces). It refers to the nine­areolae wide discoidal area, that distinguishes this species from the others. Comments: The genus Larotingis Drake (1960) contains three species. Two occur in New Guinea and one occurs in the Philippine Islands . This new species differs from L. etes Drake and Ruhoff (1961) and L. soror Péricart (2000) by the developed median carina on the pronotal hind process. The occipital spines of L. etes are non­tubercular. The discoidal area of L. etes is eightnine areolae wide, that of L. aporia Drake (1960) is six areolae wide, and that of L. soror is five areolae wide.
