1. Cladypha interlita, n. sp. (Tab. VI. fig. 1.) 
Body above castaneous-brown ; eyes black; abdomen darker in hue, but variegated with ochraceous, the anal 
appendage ochraceous. Face black, the anterior margin and a broad transverse fascia a little beyond the 
centre ochraceous. Body beneath dark castaneous; the margins of the pro- and mesosternum broadly 
ochraceous. Legs castaneous; anterior and intermediate femora near the apex, and the anterior and 
intermediate tibi# at the apex, annulated with ochraceous; posterior tibie armed with three strong 
spines and with a cluster of spines at the apex; anterior femora moderately and laminately ampliated 
beneath, the anterior tibiz only very slightly and scarcely perceptibly ampliated at the apex. Tegmina 
palely infuscated, the venation fuscous, the transverse veins on the apical area and the apical areolets 
darkly infuscated. Wings pale hyaline, with the venation fuscous. 
Long. excl. tegm. 11 millim., exp. tegm. 30 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).

This genus is almost universally distributed, and is well represented in our fauna. 
It is difficult to properly describe the species by words alone, and therefore it is very 
probable that some amount of synonymy exists between those described by Walker and 
others described by Stal. This is the more probable when we notice that many of the 
species inhabiting Central America are also found in Brazil. In this work, however, 
synonymy between these authors will not affect the nomenclature, as the species are 
mostly identified from Walker’s List, which was published at an earlier date than Stal’s 
work on the Hemiptera of Rio Janeiro. 
Although the species of this genus have a considerable superficial resemblance, 
excellent differential characters exist in the size and shape of the head, and, in a 
more subsidiary sense, according to the nature and extent of the carina or carine on 
the upper surface of the same ; and on these characters the writer has relied, thus 
allowing the descriptions of two new species to be verbally short, as in both cases 
the artist has diagrammatically illustrated the structure of the head.
