a new genus, “ Physetonotus,” for some of these species; but it is better not to disturb 
our present arrangement, especially as I have previously denoted a distinct section of 
Eccritotarsus for their reception. 
8 (a). Kecritotarsus porrectus, n. sp. (Tab. XX XVIII. fig. 15.) 
Black, more or less greyish-pilose; antenne, two small marginal spots to corium (the one near apex duplex), 
and legs pale ochraceous, third and fourth joints of antenne somewhat infuscated; eyes dark castaneous ; 
cuneus (excluding basal margin) and the membrane pale ochraceous-hyaline, basal margin of cuneus 
broadly black ; apices of the tarsi fuscous. 
Var. a. Posterior femora and bases of posterior tibie black. 
Long. 4-44 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith & F. D. G.), Omilteme in Guerrero 
(H. H. Smith); Gvaremaa, Capetillo, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Differs from LE. incurvus by its greater width, less gibbous pronotum, smaller marginal 
spots to corium, and by the broad black base to cuneus. 
9 (a). Eccritotarsus impavidus, n. sp. (Tab. XX XVIII. fig. 14.) 
Head, pronotum, scutellum, and clavus black, clavus with an ochraceous spot on each side; corium pale 
ochraceous; a subclaval and transverse fascia and inner angles and apex of cuneus black. Body beneath 
black ; legs, antennw, and membrane “pale ochraceous, the last with the cellular areas fuscous. 
Long. 34 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
A single example. 
Eccritotarsus atratus (p. 285). 
Physetonotus (Physetonotus) atratus, Reut. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1892, p. 395". 
To the locality given, add:—Mexico, Vera Cruz, Frontera and Teapa in Tabasco 
(H. H. Smith); Guatemana, San Isidro (Champion) ; Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson).— 
VENEZUELA, Caracas (Simon *). 
11. Eccritotarsus perobscurus, n. sp. (Tab. XXXVIII. fig. 16.) 
Black; head castaneous; antenne and legs ochraceous ; basal joint, apical halves of second and third joints 
and the fourth joint of antenns, posterior femora (excluding apices), and the apices of the tarsi black ; 
pronotum, scutellum, and cuneus shining black, corium dull opaque; membrane pale hyaline, with the 
basal cells black. 
Var. a. Head black. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, near the city (H. H. Smith); GuateMaa, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
We have received a single example from each of the above localities. The type from 
Guatemala is here figured. 
12. Eccritotarsus tenebrosus, n. sp. 
Allied to the preceding species, but with the body, antenng, and legs wholly black ; bases of the tarsi ochra-
