56 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
Atclen tice ineteh 3, Ormenis erminia, sp. n. (Tab. VII. figg. 20, 20a.) 
Alba vel pallide virescenti-alba, tegminibus ad costam et basim versus maculis vel lineis parvis fuscis 
instructis; capite perbrevi, oculis prominulis; pronoto vertice distincte longiori, leviter tricarinato ; 
tegminibus apicem versus dilatatis, apice late et sat oblique truncato ; corpore pedibusque albidis. 
White or very pale greenish-white, with regular rows, of variable length, of small dark spots or dashes 
on the tegmina extending from the shoulders to behind the middle; head very short and without the 
eyes, which are prominent, distinctly narrower than the pronotum, which is longer than the vertex ; 
pronotum tricarinate on the disc; tegmina broadest at the apex, the apex broadly and somewhat obliquely 
truncate; body and legs whitish. 
Long. 15 millim.; lat. ad hum. 3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
A specimen from Bugaba is figured. 
4, Ormenis leucophza. 
Ormenis leucophea, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1864, p. 55°. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Vind. Ces., Mus. Holm.*). 
I cannot satisfactorily identify this species in our collection ; we have two specimens 
from Atoyac, Vera Cruz, which may perhaps be discoloured examples of it. 
5. Ormenis infuscata. 
Ormenis infuscata, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1864, p. 55°. 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Signoret', in Mus. Vind. Ces.), Chilpancingo in Guerrero 4600 
feet (H. H. Smith). | 
This is an obscure little species; I have referred one example in our collection to it, 
but somewhat doubtfully. 
6. Ormenis dolabrata, sp.n. (Tab. VII. figg. 21, 21a.) 
Brunnea, variegata; capite testaceo, perbrevi, lato, cum oculis valde prominentibus pronoto distincte latiori, 
hoc et scutello testaceis, nigro sat late limbatis; tegminibus brunneis, plag&é magné testaceo-albidé plus 
minusve irregulari ab humeris usque ad paullo ante apicem continuata, prope apicem marginem attingenti ; 
alis plus minusve fumatis; corpore plus minusve ad latera virescente; pedibus testaceis. 
Brown, variegated with whitish-testaceous; head and pronotum yellow-testaceous, the former very short and 
broad, eyes very large and prominent; pronotum dark at the sides, longer than the vertex; scutellum 
testaceous, with the sides broadly darker (the colour, however, of the front parts is very deceptive, and 
often appears to fade into a uniform brown after death); tegmina brown, with a broad whitish-testaceous 
irregular band reaching from the shoulders to a little before the apex, where it joins the margin; the 
claval suture and a broader or narrower line before the outer margin are also light-coloured, the colour 
being much more extended in some specimens than in others; wings smoky, darker towards the apex ; 
abdomen greenish at the sides; legs testaceous. 
Long. 9-10 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca and Miacatlan (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), Chilpan- 
cingo in Guerrero 4600 feet (H. H. Smith). | 
A small series. At first I thought that these specimens might be referred to
