76 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
red above, with a distinct black line, lower margin narrowly black ; tegmina with the veins large, white, 
interstices more or less infuscate, apical margin very narrowly scarlet; wings opaque, milky-white, with 
a dark line in the centre of the margin ; legs of a clear whitish colour. 
Long. 14 millim.; lat. ad hum. 13 millim.; exp. tegm. 23 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Xucumanatlan in Guerrero 7000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
5. Otiocerus gracilior, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 27.) 
Preecedenti affinis, sed minor et gracilior; capite a latere viso longiori et minus lato, et tegminibus raro 
minute nigro-maculatis distinguendus. 
Allied to the preceding, but considerably smaller; head, viewed from the side, longer and narrower in 
proportion ; tegmina with a more or less distinct fuscous band proceeding from the shoulders for about 
one-third of their length, continuing a dark line on the head and scutellum, the disc and apex marked 
with a few minute but distinct black spots ; legs whitish-testaceous. 
Long. 10-11 millim.; lat. ad hum. 14 millim.; exp. tegm. 18-19 millim. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Panima and San Gerénimo in Vera Paz, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 
5000 feet (Champion). 
The specimen from San Gerdnimo is very imperfect, but appears to belong to the 
same species. We figure an example from Cerro Zunil. 
6. Otiocerus breviceps, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 1.) 
Parvus, albidus; capite a latere viso brevi, latiori, supra viso perangusto, oculis prominulis ; tegminibus vitreis, 
venis distinctis ; alis lacteis ; pedibus abdomineque albido-testaceis. 
A small, obscure species, which may be known by the shape of the head; this is much shorter than in the 
other species of the genus described above, if viewed from the sides; the antenne are short; the tegmina 
are transparent white, with distinctly marked veins, which have a slight reddish tinge, and the costal 
margin is very narrowly scarlet for a short distance before the tip (this is hardly noticeable, and the 
whole disc is unicolorous) ; legs and abdomen whitish-testaceous. 
Long. 8 millim.; lat. ad hum. 1-13 millim.; exp. tegm. 15 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
7. Otiocerus (?) rubescens, sp. n. (Tab. IX. fig. 2.) 
Rufo-testaceus ; capite parvo, rufo; scutello convexo, nitido; tegminibus pellucidis, testaceis, venis magnis 
rufescentibus ; abdomine pedibusque testaceis. 
Of a rufo-testaceous colour, with the head small, red (probably in life the front-parts are much more rufescent) ; 
scutellum convex, shining, with four small black spots, two at the sides (not always present) and two at 
the base; tegmina pellucid, somewhat corneous, testaceous, with distinct and strong reddish veins ; 
abdomen and legs testaceous. 
Long. 9-10 millim.; lat. ad hum. 13 millim.; exp. tegm. 17-18 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
The head and antenne of this species differ from those of the true Otioceri, but in 
the venation of the tegmina it is closely allied to them.
