BOTHRIOCERA. 83 
8. Bothriocera venosa, sp.n. (Tab. IX. figg. 14, 14a.) 
Hyalina, capite flavescente; scutello ferrugineo, leviter tricarinato; tegminibus postice ampliatis, pellucidis, 
venis distinctis, fascia brunneé ante medium, et macul4 magna marginali ad medium instructis, venis 
transversis utrinque fuscis, areis apicalibus longis regularibus ; abdomine nigrescente ; pedibus testaceis. 
Head yellow; scutellum ferruginous, with three keels; tegmina enlarged behind, hyaline, with the veins 
well-marked, dark, with a brown band before the middle, a black marginal spot about the middle, and 
the posterior transverse veins marked with fuscous, the apical areas long and regular; abdomen black, 
underside of front-parts light yellow ; legs testaceous. 
Long. cum tegm. 5 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. (92.) 
Hab. GuateMata, Las Mercedes (Champion). 
4. Bothriocera excelsa, sp.n. (Tab. IX. figg. 15, 15a.) 
Subpellucida, nitidiuscula; vertice fronteque flavis vel flavo-brunneis, pronoto angustissimo, scutello abdomineque 
supra nigrescentibus sed sepe dilutioribus; tegminibus haud fortiter ampliatis, plus minusve fuscis, 
margine costali plerumque, duabusque vittis irregularibus in alis indistincte nebuloseque continuatis, 
instructis ; corpore subtus variante ; pedibus testaceis, tarsis plus minusve fuscis; pygofero nigro. 
Somewhat transparent and shining ; head and frons yellow or brownish-yellow, colour of the rest of the body 
variable; tegmina not strongly widened behind, more or less smoky or fuscous, with lighter patches, and 
with the costal margin and two very irregular bands fuscous, the latter more or less indistinctly indicated 
on the wings, which are smoke-coloured with darker markings ; legs mostly testaceous; pygofer black. 
Long. cum tegm. 5 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Amula, Xucumanatlan, Sierra de las Aguas Escondidas, and Omilteme, 
all in Guerrero, 6000 to 8000 feet (7. H. Smith). 
I had at first included the insects belonging to this species under JB. tinealis, but they 
appear to be distinct ; the tegmina are narrower, and the characteristic dark colour at 
the tip of the apical vein, which is so distinct in B. tinealis, is quite wanting, as is also 
the row of small spots in the apical areas, which is nearly always found in the last- 
named species. 
5. Bothriocera pellucida, sp.n. (Tab. IX. figg. 16, 16 a.) 
Pellucida, sat nitida; vertice flavescente, fronte utrinque nigro-maculate, oculis nigris ; pronoto perangusto, 
flavescenti ; scutello magno, nigro, leviter sed distincte tricarinato; tegminibus immaculatis, pellucidis, 
dilute flavescentibus, venis distinctis; alis vitreis; abdomine supra subtusque nigro; prosterno, sterno, 
metasterno pedibusque dilute testaceis. 
Transparent and rather shining ; vertex yellowish; frons with a large spot on each side of the central keel 
and the space round the extra ocellus black; pronotum very narrow, yellowish ; scutellum large, black, 
distinctly, but not strongly, tricarinate; tegmina without spots, lightish straw-coloured towards the base, 
the colour being less marked towards the apex; wings vitreous; abdomen black above and beneath ; 
under surface of the front-parts of the body and the legs testaceous. 
Male with the genital or last abdominal segment considerably produced in the centre into a blunt point, and 
with two small projections at the sides, the styles short and thick. 
Long. cum tegm. 5-54 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith).
