346 SUPPLEMENT. 
This species is closely allied to E. nigrispina, Dall., and E. bonasia, Stal, both 
included in our fauna and figured in this work. From Dallas’s species it may at 
once be separated by the shorter. pronotal spines, and by the second joint of the 
antenne being subequal to, or a little longer than, the third joint. From EF. donasia 
it differs by the shape of the scutellum, which is narrower and resembles that of 
EL. nigrispina. 
Edessa quadridens (p. 91). 
To the localities given, add:— Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 4000 feet 
(Champion). | 
19 (a). Edessa jansoni, n. sp. (Tab. XXXII. fig.11.) | 
Body above and beneath, with legs, pale unicolorous ochraceous. Antenne ochraceous, apex of the third joint 
black (fourth and fifth joints mutilated), second joint considerably longer than the third. Pronotum 
with a few scattered coarse punctures on the disk and towards the posterior margin, the lateral angles 
produced into somewhat short, but subacute spines, their apices narrowly edged with black. Scutellum 
more thickly but less coarsely punctate than the pronotum, the punctures being finest and thickest at the 
lateral margins. Corium thickly and finely punctate. Connexivum very narrowly edged with black. 
Long. 18 millim., lat. pronot. angl. 123 millim. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Janson, in coll. Dist.). 
Edessa jurgiosa (p. 92). 
To the locality given, add:—Mzexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann); Panama, 
Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet, Caldera, Boquete, David (Champion). 
Some of the specimens received from the State of Panama are considerably larger 
than the Mexican type, and measure 23 millim. in length. 
20 (a). Edessa prefracta. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 12.) 
Brownish-ochraceous ; lateral angles of the pronotum prominent, obtusely acute and black. Antenne with 
the second and third joints subequal in length, fourth and fifth joints longest and also subequal in length. 
Pronotum very coarsely punctate; scutellum with the punctures thicker but finer ; corium very thickly 
and finely punctate. Membrane cupreous. Body beneath dark ochraceous ; abdomen mottled with some 
darker irregular-shaped spots, the disk longitudinally pale and levigate. Abdominal apical spines mode- 
rately long, with their apical halves black. 
Long. 12 millim., lat. pronot. angl. 9 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Paraiso (Champion). 
Edessa, junix (p. 92). (Tab. XXXII. fig. 13, var.) 
To the locality given, add :—Panama, Bugaba and David (Champion). 
The examples received from the State of Panama differ widely from the Mexican 
typical specimen here previously figured, being of a uniform green coloration above, 
with the membrane pale cupreous. Body beneath greenish-ochraceous, the legs 
ochraceous. |
