in the Ethiopian, Oriental, and Australian Regions. Four of these genera are here 
included in the Central-American fauna, and comprise about one third of the whole 
number of species described as belonging to the Anisoscelaria.

The dilatation of the second and third joints of the antenne and the length of 
the posterior femora (which extend beyond the apex of the abdomen) sufficiently 
characterize this genus. Five species are now known, all Neotropical, of which one 
from Panama is included here:—

ANISOSCELIS. 
Anisoscelis, Latreille, Regn. An. Ins. p. 197 (1829) ; Laporte, Ess. Hém. p. 31 (1882) ; Stal, Stett. 
ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 294 (1862) ; Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 544. 
Anisoscelis differs at first sight from the preceding genus by its simple antenne ; the 
posterior tibiz are also dilated and foliaceous. This is another Neotropical genus (one 
species has been described by Stal with doubt as from Tahiti), and is largely represented 
in Central America. 
1. Anisoscelis gradadia, n. sp. (Tab. XIII. fige. 1 3,2 9.) 
Head ochraceous, base and a lateral streak behind each eye black. Antenne blackish or very dark olive- 
green, basal joint inwardly pale green. Pronotum reddish brown, lateral margins narrowly and sub- 
basal margin more broadly black, the extreme basal margin narrowly pale ochraceous; at anterior 
margin are two transverse callosities, which in some specimens are concolorous, in others dark fuscous. 
Scutellum dark brownish, with the lateral margins and a central longitudinal line pale ochraceous. 
Corium reddish brown, with the nervures, claval, costal, and apical margins pale ochraceous. Membrane 
fuscous. Abdomen above pale or dark brown, with the incisures and a spot near the lateral margins of 
each segment pale ochraceous. Body beneath pale ochraceous ; legs pale greenish, with black lines; 
apex of posterior femora yellow; posterior tibiee much dilated, dilatation narrowing towards apex, but 
occupying rather more than three fourths of the whole length.
