spines, the lower two approximating at the tip, and short, obtuse antenniferous tubercles. Pronotum 
tricarinate, with a very large erect bulbiform process arising from the margin on either side, the two 
processes covering the greater portion of the disc and closed within by a foliaceous expansion of the outer 
discoidal caring, the triangular posterior portion long. Elytra extending to beyond the abdomen, some- 
what oval, rounded at the tip; discvidal area very large, elongate-triangular, extending to beyond the 
middle; subcostal and costal areas very narrow, the latter constricted at one-fourth from the apex, and 
with a single series of long subhyaline areole. Orifice prominent, surrounded by a raised carina. Wings 
nearly as long as the elytra. Legs rather stout, the tibia sinuous within. 
The remarkable Central-American insect from which the above characters are taken 
is perhaps nearest allied to Zeleonemia; from which it differs in having the antenne 
more distant at the base, with the third joint smoother and more slender, the legs 
stouter, and the pronotum furnished with a very large bulbiform process on each 
side. The closing of the latter by the foliaceous outer discoidal carina is best seen 
in immature examples. Monanthia fasciata, Fieb., and Tingis globulifera, Walk., 
both from India, have a somewhat similarly formed pronotum. 
1. Dichocysta pictipes, n. sp. (Tab. III. figg. 1; la, profile; 16, part of the 
body beneath ; 2, var.) 
Moderately elongate, narrow, dull; testaceous or brownish-ochraceous, mottled with black or fuscous, the 
body beneath and usually the bulbous processes of the pronotum blackish, the reticulation of the latter 
fuscous in pale specimens; the antenne ferrugineo-testaceous, with the apical joint black; the legs 
ferrugineo-testaceous, mottled with fuscous. Antenne moderately elongate, joint 2 slightly shorter than 
1, 3 about three times as long as 4. Pronotum with the short anterior portion parallel, the anterior 
margin rounded at the middle and slightly produced, the posterior portion closely reticulated, the median 
carina indistinct between the bulbous processes. lytra closely reticulated; the discoidal area 
surrounded by prominent nervures ; subcostal area irregularly biseriate; costal area with the long areole 
separated by stout transverse nervures, which are usually in part black, the ante-apical constriction 
generally with a conspicuous black nervure. 
Length 31-34, breadth 14-1} millim. 
Hab. GuaTemata, Panima and Cahabon in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, 
David, San Feliz (Champion). 
Var. The pronotum with the bulbiform processes smaller, less inflated, and more widely separated on the disc, 
the median carina distinct throughout. (Fig. 2.) 
Hab. GuatrmaLa, Balheu in Vera Paz, El 'Tumbador, Las Mercedes, Cerro Zunil, 
Zapote, Capetillo (Champion). 
The variety is connected with the type by intermediate forms. Some specimens 
have the elytra more parallel than others. We figure a typical example from Bugaba, 
and a variety from Cerro Zunil.
