APHLEBODERRHIS. 79 
Anterior angles of the pronotum not dilated (formed as in Hesus) ; head as long 
as broad, the apical process parallel, not cleft at the tip ; antenne with the 
apical joint longer than the third; hairs on antenne, body, and legs erect 
and bristly 2 2. 6 2. ww ee ee ew we ew ww we pubescens, Walk. 
1. Aphleboderrhis comata, n. sp. (Tab. V. figg. 24,g ; 24a, antenna, ; 
25, 2, from beneath.) 
Oblong, rather broad, piceous or piceo-ferruginous, the antenns and legs obscure ferruginous, the membrane 
smoky, with an obscure luteous mark near the apex of the corium; the antenna, legs, and upper surface 
somewhat thickly clothed with long, curled, fulvous hairs, these forming a dense fringe along the margins 
of the anterior portion of the pronotum and two rows on its disc; the bare portions of the surface almost 
smooth. Head transverse, rounded at the sides behind the rather large eyes; the apical process short, 
subtriangularly dilated from a little before the base, and cleft at the tip, scarcely extending beyond the 
short antenniferous processes; antennze moderately long, stout, 1 thicker than the others, extending to 
about three-fourths beyond the apical process of the head, 2 one-half the length of 3, 3 a little longer 
than 1, 4 one-half longer than 2, clavate towards the tip. Pronotum transverse, feebly emarginate 
behind ; the anterior portion dilated laterally into a broadly rounded, slightly raised lobe, and nearly as 
wide as the posterior portion, the disc appearing depressed ; the posterior portion sparsely granulate, the 
sides rounded anteriorly and parallel behind. Scutellum transversely wrinkled and with a median ridge. 
Corium extending to the apex of the first segment. Abdomen a little more parallel in the male than in 
the female, the sixth segment obliquely narrowing in both sexes; the terminal genital segment of the 
male very convex, transversely cordate, the genital lobes very short; the sixth segment subtruncate at 
the apex in the female, leaving the emarginate first genital segment narrowly exposed. Beneath almost 
smooth ; the meso- and metasternum very broadly depressed in the centre, the first ventral segment with 
a deep depression in the middle, the following segments flattened along the median line. Legs stout. 
Length 54-63, breadth 24-3 millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Four males and four females. Differs from A. pilosa, Stal, from Rio Janeiro, the 
type of which is before me, in the broadly rounded and strongly dilated sides of the 
anterior portion of the pronotum (the pronotum appearing abruptly constricted at 
the middle laterally), the hairs along the margins of which are coarser, curled, and form 
a close fringe. There is also no trace of the two tubercles on the disc in front, present 
in A. pilosa, but not mentioned by Stal. The under surface is almost smooth in the 
present species, rugose in A. pilosa, a space along the middle of the venter excepted. 
A pair from Bugaba are figured.

Nigro-fuscous or piceous, the membrane with a small pallid streak near the apex of the corium, the antenna, 
legs, and sides of the abdomen sometimes obscure ferruginous, the apical half of the fourth antennal 
joint usually ferruginous, the apical margins of the connexival segments ochraceous in pale specimens ; 
the upper surface sparsely clothed with long, erect, fulvous hairs, the granules, the scutellar carina, and 
the apical margins of the connexival segments clothed with very short, matted ochraceous or brownish 
hairs; the legs and antennew thickly clothed with long, projecting, bristly hairs, the apical half of the 
fourth antennal joint thickly pilose. Head rather convex, small, as long as broad, with a short, parallel,
