ORMENIS. 57 
O. leucophea, Stal, but they do not agree with the only typical example of that 
species which I have seen: this is in the Vienna Museum. I have, moreover, received 
examples of O. dolabrata among unnamed specimens from that collection. We figure 
an example from Chilpancingo. 
7. Ormenis squamulosa, sp. n. (Tab. VII. figg. 22, 22 a.) 
Fusca, plus minusve subcyaneo-pruinosa; capite testaceo, lato, perbrevi, oculis prominentibus; pronoto 
perbrevi, sed vertice longiori; scutello ad latera albido-squamoso: tegminibus marginibus supra et infra 
fere parallelis, apice subtruncato ; pedibus testaceis 
A rather small fuscous species, with a more or less distinct whitish-cyaneous deposit on the upper parts; head 
testaceous, vertex very short, eyes large and prominent; pronotum longer than the vertex; scutellum 
thickly squamose at the sides; tegmina with the upper and lower margins subparallel, and the apex 
somewhat obliquely truncate ; body in fresh specimens more or less greenish ; legs testaceous. 
Long. 83-93 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Acapulco in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer) ; 
GuaTeMALa, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion). 
This species is very like Peciloptera glaucescens, Walk., from San Domingo, but the 
head is differently shaped ; it is also allied to O. infuscata, but is larger and has the head 
broader. A specimen from Acapulco is figured. 
8. Ormenis albescens, sp. n. (Tab. VII. figg. 23, 23a.) 
Quoad formam staturamque precedenti affinis, sed tegminibus totis albidis et capite angustiori distinguenda. 
Very like the preceding in size and shape, but distinguished by having the tegmina entirely of a dirty-white 
colour and not squamulose, and by the narrower head; the front-parts are testaceous. 
Long. 9 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalisco (Schumann). 
9. Ormenis griseoalba, sp. n. (Tab. VII. figg. 24, 24a.) 
Griseo-albescens ; capite perbrevi, lato, oculis prominulis ; pronoto vertice distincte longiori ; scutello longitudine 
fere latiori; tegminibus subfarinosis albescentibus, apicem versus plus minusve late fuscescentibus; corpore 
3 leg ’ 
pedibusque albido-testaceis. 
Of a greyish-white colour ; head very short, broad, with the prominent eyes about as broad as the pronotum ; 
pronotum longer than the vertex; scutellum almost broader than long; tegmina presenting a somewhat 
mealy appearance, more or less broadly infuscate towards the apex; body and legs whitish-testaceous. 
Long. 10 millim.; lat. ad hum. 23-3 millim. 
Hab. GuateMata, San Geronimo (Champion); Panama (Boucard), David in Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
This species is allied to O. sguamulosa, from which it differs chiefly in its coloration 
and somewhat larger size. We figure an example from San Gerénimo. 
Note.—There is a specimen of a rather fine species belonging to this group in our 
collection (12 millim. in length), from Cahabon, Vera Paz; it is, however, too imperfect 
‘to describe ; the colour is dark grey, mottled with brown and whitish.
