352 SUPPLEMENT, 
Dr. A. Dugés, ‘La Naturaleza,’ iii. pp. 52, 53, tab. figg. 1-7, has described and 
figured the “defensive apparatus” of this species. The insect is said to be able to 
eject a strong-smelling liquid to a distance of three feet. 
Thasus acutangulus (p. 108). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Cuesta de Misantla (IZ. Trujillo). 
MOZENA (p. 109). | | . 
1 (a). Mozena gaumeri, n. sp. 
Ochraceous ; antenne (excluding apical joint and extreme base of first joint), posterior lateral margins of the 
pronotal angles, and the posterior tibie black. Pronotum with the anterior margin and three central 
longitudinal lines (the median the longest) pale castaneous. Scutellum ochraceous, with the apex luteous. 
Corium with the claval and costal areas and the disk irregularly pale castaneous. Membrane shining 
pale castaneous. Connexivum alternately ochraceous and pale castaneous. Antenne with the first and 
second joints subequal in length and longer than the third and fourth joints, which are also subequal ; 
apical joint ochraceous. Pronotum with the lateral angles sublunate, strongly produced, the margins 
finely serrate, the apex of the produced angles terminating in a very short acute tooth. Posterior femora 
in the male very robust. 
Long. 19-22 millim., lat. pronot. angl., ¢, 10 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer). 
This species is allied to WM. brunnicornis, H.-S., in structure ; it also agrees in many 
particulars with the Nicaraguan insect described by the late J. Scott under the name of 
Mictis (2) jansoni (Ent. Monthly Mag. xix. p. 41), but as the pronotal angles are stated 
to be “rounded on their tips,” 1M. jansoni is evidently not conspecific with the species 
here described. 
Mozena lunata (p. 110). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Chilpancingo, Acaguizotla, Tepetlapa, Omil- 
teme, Amula, Venta de Pelegrino, Tierra Colorada, and Venta de Zopilote, all in 
Guerrero, Puente de Ixtla and Cuernavaca in Morelos (H. H. Smith), Tepic (Schumann). 
Mozena lurida (p. 111). | 
To the localities given, add :—MeExico, Temax in North Yucatan (Gawmer). 
10. Mozena (?) jansoni. 
Mictis (?) jansoni, Scott, Ent. Monthly Mag. xix. p. 41°. 
Hab. Nicaracva, Chontales (Janson '). 
We have not seen examples of this species. The name Apodesmius was proposed for 
it} in the event of it proving to belong to a new genus. It is now doubtfully included 
in Mozena. .
