nervures; at the apex there are two very regular rows of similar nervures ; posterior tibie with one 
strong spine on each; underside more or less green (in fresh specimens probably mostly of a greenish 
tinge). 
Long. 15 millim.; lat. ad hum. 8 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége); Guatemata, Calderas (Champion). 
This insect is closely allied to F. humeralis, of which it may be merely a variety, but 
it differs from that species in its more parallel form and smoother tegmina, and in the 
arrangement of the transverse costal nervures, which are not so near together and are 
more regular. 
6. Flatoides pollutus, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 4.) 
Latus, virescens, plus minusve fusco vel griseo-fusco notatus; capite brevi, eque longo ac lato, perobtuse 
producto vel subtruncato, margine verticis levissime emarginato, oculis prominulis; pronoto antice 
rotundato; scutello brevi, latitudine longiori; tegminibus latis, amplis, fusco-vittatis vel ad marginem 
late maculatis, colore variante; margine costali et apicali dense transversim venoso; tibiis posticis 
unispinosis. . 
A broad, green or greenish species, more or less marked with fuscous or greyish-brown; head short, about as 
long as broad, vertex very obtusely produced or subtruncate, slightly emarginate on its front margin ; 
pronotum about as long as the head, rounded in front ; scutellum comparatively short, broader than long; 
tegmina large and broad, with an oblique fuscous vitta reaching from the shoulders to the margins, or with 
more or less distinct stain-like patches at the sides, or with indistinct sinuous bands or markings; the 
costal margin is thickly set with transverse nervures; posterior tibie with one strong spine on each. 
Long. 12-14 millim.; lat. ad hum. 8-11 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 6000 feet, Bugaba (Champion). 
The males are smaller than the females and differently coloured. 
7. Flatoides simillimus, sp. n. 
Praecedenti maxime affinis, sed capite breviori, haud producto; fronte etiam breviori, et tegminibus magis 
decumbentibus, brunneis, lined fuscé sinuaté intra marginem costalem decurrente, aliaque latiori 
fortiter sinuaté ante apicem, preecipue distinguendus. 
A small species, very like the male of F. pollutus, but of a fuscous-brown colour, with the head shorter and 
more truncate, and the forehead, in consequence, shorter and broader; the tegmina are more 
decumbent, and inside the broad costal margin there is a sinuate fuscous line continued from the base 
to near the apex; before the apex is a broader, strongly sinuate, fuscous line, and there is a broad dark 
line near the claval suture; posterior tibize unispinose. 
Long. 10 millim.; lat. ad hum. 6 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Teleman in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One female example. I had at first treated this insect as a variety of F. pollutus, 
but it appears to be distinct. There is a single specimen of the last-named species in 
our collection which closely resembles it as regards the shape of the head.
