This is another small form, some of the males measuring 5 millim. only in length, 
chiefly differing from the var. severini in the shorter head, with obtuse frontal process, 
and the less acute outer hind angles of the segments 1-3 of the connexivum. The 
abdomen has the usual transverse dark fascia, and, rarely, in the males, a few spots in 
addition. ‘The insect is widely distributed in Central and South America. About 
thirty specimens have been seen, a good many of which are from Chiriqui. A male 
from Belize is figured.

This form resembles the var. parva, but it is larger and usually has the legs more or 
less suffused witi: reddish (possibly due to discoloration after death). The Yucatan 
specimens (¢ @ ), named by Herr Handlirsch, have an additional dark transverse fascia 
in front of the usual one, and the abdomen more broadly and less angularly dilated 
than usual. I have seen the types of Mayr and Stal. ‘The locality “ Georgia” given 
by Mayr 1" is stated by Handlirsch !9 to be probably incorrect.

Q. Moderately elongate, rather narrow; ochraceous, mottled with fuscous, the pronotum with a dark transverse 
fascia before the middle, widening inwards posteriorly, and extending for some distance backwards, 
the clavus and corium fuscous, with whitish dots, the abdomen with a broad transverse blackish fascia, 
occupying the fourth segment and the basal half of the fifth, the membrane smoky ; the antenne ochraceous, 
with the apical joint fuscous ; the legs ochraceous, the anterior femora and coxe partly fuscous, the four 
hinder femora and tibie faintly annulated with fuscous. Head moderately long, the anterior process rather 
prominent, with the lateral lobes obtuse at the tip; granulate, and with two prominent subangular 
tubercles on the disc behind the eyes; antenne rather slender, joint 3 longer than 2, and 4 a little 
longer than 3. Pronotum strongly, subequally trisinuate at the sides, the anterior angles prominent 
but obtuse, the four marginal teeth subequal; anterior lobe finely granulated, the posterior lobe coarsely, 
shallowly, confluently punctured ; the dorsal carine prominent; the base feebly emarginate in the middle. 
Scutellum carinate and granulate. Corium and clavus minutely punctured. Connexivum sparsely 
granulate, almost parallel in front, gradually widening to the subacute apex of the fourth segment, and 
obliquely narrowing thence to the broadly rounded apex, the outer apical angles of segments 1-3 slightly 
thickened. 
Length 53; breadth of pronotum 2, of abdomen 33 millim.
