A Guatemalan specimen is here figured, which differs in no respect from North- 
American and Antillean specimens which I have examined. 
8. Pamera vicinalis, n. sp. (Tab. XIX. fig. 13.) 
Head, anterior lobe of pronotum, and scutellum black, the apex of the last ochraceous ; posterior lobe of pronotum 
dull obscure castaneous, with a central longitudinal raised carinate line, and with the lateral angles ferru- 
ginous. Corium pale ochraceous, clavus more or less fuscous near apex, a pale fuscous streak near centre 
of outer claval margin, a broad irregular black fascia on disk, widest interiorly, and a smaller one of the 
same colour situated just before apical angle, and extending along apical margin. In the posterior inner 
angle of the discal fascia is a rounded ochraceous spot. Membrane black, the apex broadly pale ochraceous, 
and narrowly ochraceous at apical angles of corium. Antenne with the two basal joints ochraceous, third 
ochraceous with the apex fuscous, fourth fuscous with the base ochraceous. Legs ochraceous, the anterior 
femora, and apices of intermediate and posterior femora, brownish. Head beneath and sternum dark 
fuscous ; acetabula and posterior margin of metasternum ochraceous; abdomen dull castaneous. The third 
joint of the antenne is distinctly incrassated at apex, where it is as thick as the apical joint ; the anterior 
_ femora are much thickened, and armed with a double series of somewhat widely separated spines. 
Long. 53-6 millim. 
Hab. GuatEeMaua, Chiacam (Champion). 
This species is allied to P. crassicornis, Stal, from which it differs by the smaller size, 
apical joint of the antennee not wholly fuscous, and by the small pale spot in the discal 
fascia, which is not mentioned by Stal in his description. The two species are allied 
by the peculiarly thickened apex of the third joint of the antenne.
