ANOTIA. 
Anotia, Kirby, Trans. Linn. Soe. xiii. p. 20, t. 1. figg. 9-11, 15 (1821). 
This genus is chiefly characterized by the great length of the second joint of the 
antenne—in some species it is flat on both sides, and in others more or less cylindrical ; 
these may perhaps be typical characteristics of separate genera, but the various forms 
are here included under Anotia. The enlarged joint, when subcylindrical, is sometimes 
constricted at or behind the middle, so that it might at first sight be regarded as 
formed of two joints, but examination under a high magnifying-power shows that this 
is not the case. Kirby’s figures of A. bonnetii are misleading, as in the entire insect 
(15) the second joint looks convex, whereas in the separate structural figures (9, 10) 
it looks flat. 
I. Second joint of the antenne broad and flat. 
1. Anotia smithi, sp.n. (Tab. IX. figg. 3, 3a.) 
Albescens; capite parvo, antice a latere viso rotundato, reflexo: antennis articulo secundo maximo, lato, 
deplanato, utrinque subexcavato, fuscescente, marginibus nigris; pronoto brevissimo; scutello magno, 
convexo, sat nitido, testaceo, ad latera piceo ; tezminibus vitta irregulari obliqua ante medium et quibusdam 
aliis maculis fuscis ; alis lacteis; abdomine pedibusque albido-testaceis. 
Of a whitish colour; head small, rounded in front if viewed from the side, very small and narrow if viewed 
from above; antenne with the second joint very large and flat, pitchy, with black edges; pronotum 
very short, scarcely visible; scutellum large, convex, somewhat shining, testaceous, with the margins 
pitchy ; tegmina milky-white, with an irregular oblique fuscous band before the middle, and with other 
small dark markings, one small black spot just before the apex being conspicuous ; wings milky-white; 
abdomen and legs whitish-testaceous. 
Long. 9 millim.; lat. ad hum. 14 millim.; exp. tegm. 17 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Sierra de las Aguas Escondidas in Guerrero 9500 feet (H. H. Smith). 
9. Anotia marginicornis, sp.n. (Tab. IX. figg. 4, 4a.) 
Parva, albida; capite parvo, antennis articulo secundo maximo, depresso, subexcavato, pellucido, fusco-marginato; 
scutello convexo ; tegminibus vitreis, iridescentibus, unicoloribus, venis albidis ; alis lacteo-vitreis ; pedibus 
albido-testaceis. 
A small species, with the tegmina transparent, unicolorous, with white veins, and with traces of white opaque 
spots at the margins; head small; antenney with the second joint very large, transparent, with dark 
margins; scutellum convex ; legs whitish-testaceous. 
Long. 8 millim.; lat. ad hum. 1 millim.; exp. tegm. 15 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
3. Anotia pellucida, sp. n. 
Precedenti affinis, sed minor, capite breviori ; antennarum articulo secundo breviori et minus lato, unicolori ; 
capite, pronoto et scutello albis; tegminibus totis vitreis ; pedibus albido-testaceis. 
A very small white species, allied to the preceding, but with the head shorter and the second joint of the 
antenne smaller, unicolorous ; the front parts are all white ; the tegmina are transparent, with the veins 
finely marked ; legs testaceous. 
Long. 6-7 millim.; lat. ad hum. 1 millim.; exp. tegm. 12 millim.
