68 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
The last-mentioned insect, no. 5, seems to represent a distinct insular variety, and 
may be separated as such under the name ruatanensis. We figure specimens from 
Teleman, Ruatan Island, and the Volcan de Chiriqui. 
2. Sassula costalis, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 12, 12 a.) 
S. pictifronti affinis, sed capite paullo magis producto, fronte unicolori, et costé tegminum latiori et magis 
regulariter et rarius transversim venosa, facile distinguenda. 
Rather smaller than the average specimens of S. pictifrons, from which it differs in having the head a little 
more produced before the eyes, and the costal margin of the tegmina somewhat broader, and with the 
transverse veins further apart and more regular; the front, moreover, is unicolorous and without the 
rows of minute black spots on either side which are so charaeteristic of S. pietifrons; the colour is 
light brown, and the tegmina have the subapical band wanting and replaced at the apex by one or two 
light brown ‘spots; the subapical costal spot is small and the subbasal spot minute ; abdomen and legs 
yellow, the latter in part slightly infuscate. 
Long. 13 millim.; lat. ad hum. 34 millim.

This genus is allied to Nogodina, Stal, from which it differs chiefly, according to Stal, 
in the narrow vertex, and in having the sides of the clypeus not carinate; the vertex, 
however, is somewhat variable in length, and consequently in proportional breadth. The 
insects are smaller than in Nogodina and have a more vitreous appearance.

GuUATEMALA, Tamahu, Senahu, and Panzos in Vera Paz, Cerro Zunil (Champion); Panama, 
Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
A more or less defined dark costal spot is present in most specimens between the 
middle of the tegmina and the apex; it is, however, sometimes absent. 
Var. nigrocarinata, n. 
Vertice breviori, carinisque scutelli plus minusve nigris distinguenda. 
Closely allied to the type-form, but easily distinguished by the shorter vertex and the three keels on the 
scutellum being black. 
Hab. Guatema.a, Cubilguitz, Purula, and Senahu in Vera Paz (Champion). 
This might perhaps be regarded as a separate species, but for the fact that inter- 
mediate specimens occur. We figure a specimen of the type-form from Guerrero.
