The specimen figured is a typical one, in the collection of Dr. Signoret. 
17. Edessa montezuma, n. sp. (Tab. IX. fig. 6.) 
Pale olivaceous. Head sparingly punctate. Antenne ochraceous ; second joint a little shorter than the third ; 
fourth and fifth much the longest, and subequal in length. Pronotum sparingly punctate; a transverse 
impunctate verrucose space near anterior margin ; anterior and lateral margins strongly defined, with deep 
punctures; lateral angles moderately and subacutely produced; apices ochraceous, and very slightly 
recurved. Scutellum with the disk sparingly punctate ; apical half more densely punctate, with a central 
pale almost impunctate line. Corium thickly and coarsely punctate, with the costal margin and nervures 
paler in colour. Membrane pale hyaline. Abdomen above testaceous. Body beneath and legs pale 
ochraceous; tarsal claws pitchy. 
Long. 144 millim., lat. pronot. ang. 10 millim. 
Hab. Muxtico, Ocaiia (coll. Signoret). 
This species in some respects is allied to E. junix, Stal; but the produced lateral 
angles of the pronotum will at once distinguish it.

Ochraceous with green suffusions. Head with the margins of the lateral lobes transversely striate. Antennse 
ochraceous ; second joint a little shorter than the third, remainder mutilated. Pronotum sparingly covered

sparingly covered with deep pitchy punctures, becoming finer and more dense towards apex, which is 
greenish. Corium greenish, thickly and finely punctured ; membrane pale hyaline. Abdomen above pitchy 
testaceous. Body beneath and legs luteous, 
Long. 144 millim., lat. pronot. ang. 9 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Holm.). 
Allied to the preceding species, but differs in having the pronotal angles less acutely 
produced, and the punctuation also different.
