Aceratodes sigillatus, Walk. Cat. Het. iii. p. 452. 4°. 
Aceratodes denotata, Germ. MSS.” 
Hab. Mexico ? (Mus. Holm.), Orizaba, Oaxaca }. 
The specimen figured is in the Stockholm Museum, and was forwarded to me for 
identification. It is at once differentiated from the two preceding species by the much 
broader scutellum. A Mexican specimen, labelled denotata, Germ. (in MSS.), coll. 
Spinola, was sent to me by Dr. Signoret. 
43. Edessa conspersa. (Tab. VIII. fig. 24.) 
Edessa conspersa, Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 58. 64°. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca!; Guatemaa, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
A typical Mexican specimen is figured, which was lent me for that purpose by the 
Stockholm Museum.

narrowly luteous; pronotal angles subprominent ; scutellum with the apical portion faintly and obscurely

Hab. Guatema.a, San Juan (Champion). \. 
Allied to E. conspersa, Stal, but differs in having the lateral borders of the pronotum 
more convex, and the apical portion of the scutellum much narrower and obscurely 
furrowed ; the colour and markings are very distinct. 
45, Edessa petersii, n.sp. (Tab. IX. fig. 25.) 
Edessa discors, Erichs. in Schomb. Reis. ii. p. 611 ??. 
Head, pronotum, and scutellum bright castaneous; corium pitchy castaneous; pronotum and scutellum 
sparingly but coarsely punctate ; corium rugulose and finely punctate. Antenne pale castaneous; second 
joint a little longer than the third; fourth and fifth subequal. Pronotum with the lateral margins 
narrowly bright castaneous, and the lateral angles subprominent. Membrane pale eneous. Underside 
of the body pale Iuteous; lateral borders of the sternum very bright castaneous. Abdomen with five 
castaneous longitudinal fascie, one central, two discal, and two submarginal (the last sometimes very 
indistinct). Legs pale bright castaneous. 
Long. 13 millim., lat. pronot. ang. 8 millim. 
Hab. Muxico (Mus. Berol.); Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
A Guatemalan specimen is figured, which agrees with several others from the same 
locality in being somewhat darker in hue than a Mexican specimen contained in the
