24 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
brownish ; the interspaces of the pronotum in fresh specimens covered with a bluish-white incrustation, 
this colour extending to the discoidal area of the elytra; the antenne testaceous, with the apical joint 
in great part black, the first joint and the apex of the third sometimes slightly infuscate; the legs 
testaceous, with the tarsi infuscate at the tip. Head with five long slender spines; antenne long and 
slender, joint 1 two and a half times as long as 2 and about half the length of 4, 2 very short. 
Pronotum with the membranous margins moderately wide and slightly rounded, converging from near 
the base to the apex, somewhat flattened, with two or three rows of small opaque areole ; hood rather 
short, angularly projecting in front, considerably raised; the three carine feebly foliaceous, the median 
carina continuous with the hood, the interspaces closely punctured. LElvtra long, arcuately widened 
from the base and broadly rounded at the tip; discoidal area nearly reaching the middle, subfusiform, 
very closely reticulated; subcostal area very narrow, minutely biseriate; costal and sutural areas 
somewhat closely and subequally reticulated, the reticulation of the costal area abruptly becoming very 
much closer on the inner basal half, and on this part similar to that of the discoidal area. Wings extending 
to the apex of the abdomen, opalescent. 
Length 34-4, breadth 2-24 millim. 
Hab. GuatemaLa, Purula in Vera Paz, Panajachel (Champion). 
Found in plenty at Panajachel and sparingly at Purula. The Purula specimens are 
more or less discoloured and have the antenne black, except at the base. Differs 
from all the allied forms in the very unequal reticulation of the costal area of the 
elytra, a broad space outside the subcostal area being much more closely reticulated 
than the rest. 
3. Leptodictya circumcincta, n. sp. (Tab. II. figg. 12; 12a, profile.) 
Rather short, broad ; fuscous, the sides of the body beneath, the head, and a small space behind the pronotal 
hood, black; the pronotum with the margins, and the elytra with a large oblong space on the inner 
part of the costal area about the middle, as well as a few of the minute areole at the base, pale 
testaceo-hyaline ; the antennw testaceous, with the basal joint infuscate (the apical joint broken off) ; 
the legs testaceous, with the tarsi infuscate. Head with five long spines, and a very short spiniform 
antenniferous tubercle on each side; antenne very slender, moderately long, joint 1 about twice as 
long as 2, 2 very short. Pronotum with the membranous margins flattened, rather narrow, straight, 
converging from the base forwards, with two rows of small opaque areole ; hood rather small, angularly 
projecting in front; the three carine feebly foliaceous, the median carina continuous with the hood, the 
interspaces closely punctured. Elytra moderately long, broad, arcuately widening to about the middle, 
the costal margin thence to near the apex straight, the apex broadly rounded; discoidal area large, 
extending to the middle, subfusiform, closely reticulated, limited inwards by a sharply raised nervure ; 
subcostal area very narrow, biseriate; costal and sutural areas somewhat closely and subequally 
reticulated, the reticulation of the costal area becoming very much closer on the inner part towards 
the base. 
Length 3, breadth 17 millim. 
Hab. Panama, San Feliz in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Closely allied to LZ. fuscocincta, Stal, from Rio Janeiro (the type 
of which is before me); but much smaller and shorter, the pronotal hood larger, the 
elytra with an oblong space in the middle only subhyaline, the head with distinct 
spiniform antenniferous tubercles.
