“ENCHOPHORA. 27 
moment can be said as to the specific extent or restricted distribution of Enchophora, 
which may probably prove to be not uncommon in the Antilles. 
1. Enchophora stillifer, (Tab. IV. figg. 14, 14 a, 143.) 
Phrictus stillifer, Stal, Ber]. ent. Zeitschr. vi. p. 303. 1°. 
Enchophora stillifera, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxv. p. 49. 3467. 
Hab. Mexico 1? (Hoge, coll. Dist.); GuatemMaa, Sabo in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, 
Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
This species is not uncommon in Central America. It was formerly very rare in 
collections, the type in that of Dr. Signoret being the only specimen I was acquainted 
with. It has since, however, been found not uncommonly by Mr. Champion, and who 
to three specimens appended the following note:—‘ These specimens had one or two 
parasitic living larve firmly attached to the abdomen and enveloped in the white fluff 
with which the bodies of these insects are covered when alive” *. 
2. Enchophora rosacea, n. sp. (Tab. IV. figg. 11, 11 a, 115.) 
Head, pronotum, and mesonotum greenish, mottled with dull ochraceous ; eyes castaneous ; antennz carmine. 
Tegmina pale stramineous, with the veins greenish, the basal and claval ares blotched with carmine ; 
the apex dull dark stramineous, minutely spotted with greyish and preceded by an irregular transverse 
greyish fascia. Wings pale greyish, the apex somewhat palely infuscated and the base narrowly pale 
greenish. Abdomen above pale dull ochraceous, with a longitudinal median fuscous fascia, somewhat 
greenish at the lateral margins, and with a narrow transverse greyish fascia before the anal appendage. 
Body beneath dull ochraceous, margined and shaded with greenish; legs greenish, with the tarsi 
castaneous. 
The central frontal carina is keeled and does not reach the posterior margin, thus agreeing with the structure 
of EL. stillifer ; but the cephalic protuberance is much shorter than in that species. 
Long. excl. tegm. 21 millim., exp. tegm. 54 millim. 
Hab. Nicaraava, Chontales (coll. Dist.). 
This beautiful and distinct species is at present represented in my collection by a 
single specimen. It was obtained from Mr. Janson, and was probably captured and 
sent home by his son. 
3. Enchophora sanguinea, ©. sp. (Tab. IV. figg. 16, 16 a, 16 6.) 
Head, pronotum, and mesonotum brown, mottled with fuscous; eyes pale brownish. Tegmina pale dull red- 
dish, the veins somewhat olivaceous, and with dark olivaceous reticulations ; apical area brownish-ochra- 
ceous, preceded by a pale waved transverse fascia, and containing a few minute greyish spots. Wings 
pale sanguineous, the apex (broadly) and the posterior margin pale fuscous. Abdomen above sanguineous. 
Body beneath as above; legs dark olivaceous, with their basal portions more or less dark sanguineous. 
The central pronotal carina is much less prominent than in the preceding species, and reaches the posterior 
margin ; the rostrum does not reach the penultimate segment. 
Long. excl. tegm. 21 millim., exp. tegm. 50 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata (coll. Dist.) ; Panama (Boucard). 
* Prof. Westwood (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1876, p. 519, t. 7. figg. 1-17) has described and figured a Lepi- 
dopterous insect, Epipyrops anomala, the larva of which is parasitic in a similar way on Pulgora candelana.
