subparallel. ‘The anterior tibiz are armed on each side beneath with three very long 
spines, alternating with three short ones. SS. coronata is more elongate than any of 
the other species of the genus known to me: it agrees with S. diadema (Fabr.) and 
S. undulata, Uhler, in having two distinct gibbosities on the posterior lobe of the 
pronotum, but differs from both in the shape of the abdomen. The head has a row 
of three spines on each side before the eyes, the posterior one being very elongate. 
Stal’s type has been examined. A male from San Gerénimo and a female from 
Valladolid are figured. 
8. Sinea caudata, n. sp. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 8, 8a, 3; 9, 2.) 
Moderately elongate, the abdomen narrow in the male, much broader in the female; sparsely pilose and 
pubescent, fuscous or griseo-fuscous, the connexival segments each more or less distinctly marked with 
flavous towards their outer apical angles; the body beneath, the intermediate and hind tibiz, and the 
femora in part, testaceous or fusco-testaceous, the basal joint of the antenne with a flavous ring. Head 
as long as the pronotum, armed on each side before the eyes with a row of three acute spines, the 
posterior one very elongate and the anterior one short, and with several spines near the ocelli and some 
scattered granules or conical tubercles on the neck. Pronotum with the two lobes about equal in length ; 
the anterior lobe armed with numerous short, pointed, piligerous tubercles; the posterior lobe trans- 
versely convex, coarsely rugose, the lateral angles produced into an acute outwardly directed spine, the 
basal margin with a row of short piligerous spines. Abdomen( ¢) narrow, slightly rounded at the sides, 
gradually narrowing from the apex of the fourth segment, and with the apex of the sixth produced into 
a short, broad, caudiform process, which is emarginate in the centre at the tip and has the outer apical 
angles rounded; ( @ ) broad, rapidly widening to the apex of the fourth segment and narrowing thence to 
the tip; the connexival margins finely denticulate in both sexes. Anterior femora with a very long spine 
near the apex above and with a row of four spines on each side beneath ; anterior tibie with three long 
spines on each side within. 
Length 8-103 ; breadth, ¢ 14-24, 9 33-32 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui, Caldera, Panama city (Champion). 
_ Five males and six females are referred to this species. The males are very like 
those of S. raptoria (=denticulosa, Stal), but they may be readily distinguished by 
the subcaudate apex of the abdomen; the females can only be separated from the 
corresponding sex of that species by the more acute tubercles on the anterior lobe of 
the pronotum. In one of the males the outer apical angles of the fourth connexival 
segment are somewhat prominent.

_ The types (2) of S. raptoria and S. denticulosa are before me, and I am unable to 
separate them. The male of S. raptoria was unknown to Stal: it is very like that of
