58 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
10. Ormenis pallescens. 
Ormenis pallescens, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1864, p. 55°. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Holm.', Sallé), La Venta and Dos Arroyos in Guerrero (H. Z. 
Smith), Orizaba (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.). 
11. Ormenis pallidicosta. 
Ormenis pallidicosta, Walk. List of Homopt. Ins., Suppl. p. 115°. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé), Cordova (Riimeli), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith). 
This species is closely allied to O. pallescens, and may prove to be inseparable from 
it, in which case Walker’s name will have priority: the size is larger, the colour is 
somewhat deeper green, and the external and internal borders of the tegmina are less 
paraliel, the interior angle, moreover, being more pronounced. It is possible that the 
single specimen from Cordova may belong to another species, as it has the interior 
angle decidedly acute and reflexed. 
12. Ormenis inferior, sp.n. (Tab. VII. figg. 25, 25a.) 
O. pallescenti maxime affinis, sed multo minor; capite ante oculos (a latere viso) minus producto, et marginibus 
tegminum exteriore et interiore magis parallelis distinguenda. 
Very closely allied to O. pallescens, and chiefly distinguished by its much smaller size ; head (viewed from the 
side) not produced before the eyes; scutellum flatter and less convex; exterior and interior margins of 
the tegmina more parallel, the anterior margin being straighter and less rounded. 
Long. 8-11 millim.; lat. ad hum. 14-2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca and Orizaba (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), Teapa and 
Frontera in Tabasco (//. H. Smith); Costa Rica, Caché (Rogers). . 
This is a very puzzling species, and is so closely allied to the preceding that it is hard 
to distinguish them in some cases; it appears, however, to be distinct, and is separated 
from O. pallescens, though without a name, in the Vienna Museum. There is a 
specimer. from the Volcan de Atitlan, Guatemala, in our collection which appears 
to be intermediate in size, and which may belong to another species, but I prefer to 
consider it doubtfully as belonging to O. inferior. A specimen from Teapa is figured. 
13. Ormenis tortricina. 
Pecilloptera tortricina, Germ. Mag. Ent. iv. p. 103°. 
Hab. Mexico!; Honpvuras (Mus, Brit.).—Braziu!. 
I have seen only one faded specimen of this insect. I am inclined to think that it 
is to be referred to the preceding species, or to 0. pallescens, in which case, of course, 
Germar’s name must stand; but, on the other hand, I do not care to assign all our series 
of fresh specimens to OQ. tortricina without further confirmation.
