LOXA.—MURGANTIA. "1 
just reaches the apex of the fourth abdominal segment; in LZ. flavicollis it only 
extends to the middle of the second segment. The colour varies as in L. flavicollis. 
The specimen figured is from Guatemala. 
3. Loxa variegata, n. sp. (Tab. V. fig. 25.) 
Green, coarsely punctate. Head with the lateral lobes much longer than the central, prominent and acute, 
lateral lobes longitudinally ridged and furrowed, lateral margins ochreous. Pronotum with the disk 
rugulose, the lateral angles produced into short acute spines, slightly directed forwards ; these spines are 
ochreous, with the margins black; lateral crenulated margin ochreous. Scutellum very faintly and 
transversely rugulose, with the apex ochreous. Corium obscurely mottled with purplish, a white spot on 
disk, and the apical angle ochreous. Membrane pale transparent, some of the nervures pitchy at base. 
Antenne ochreous, third, fourth, and fifth joints longest and subequal. Rostrum ochreous, just passing 
posterior coxee. Underside of body and legs green; coxe, bases of femora, and disk of abdomen ochreous. 
Long. 15 millim. ; lat. pronot. ang. 73 millim. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu, Caché (Rogers). 
In a second specimen the luteous markings are almost obsolete and the colour 
uniformly green. 
Allied to ZL. curvidens, Mayr, but differs in having the pronotal angles less acute 
and much less produced anteriorly. The posterior margins of pronotum are straight, 
not sinuated as in L. curvidens. 
MURGANTIA. 
Murgantia, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 105 (1862) ; Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 529. 
This genus is closely allied to the following (Arocera, Spin.), but differs in the less- 
produced odoriferous orifice; the central lobe of the head is slightly longer than the 
lateral lobes ; the tibie are strongly sulcated. 
Murgantia is a genus confined to Tropical America; only one species ranges into the 
Nearctic fauna ; and this, as far as is now known, does not extend further south than 
Central America. All the remainder are found in the Colombian, Amazonian, and 
Brazilian subregions, one of which is also found in this fauna.
