with the granulations sometimes indistinct, their colour, too, being more or less concolorous with a few 
fuscous warkings in the interstices, and the more or less distinct markings on the margins towards 
the apex. 
Male-characters much as in the preceding, except that the styles are a little less strongly securiform at the apex. 
Long. cum tegm. 6~7 millim.; lat. 13 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith) ; Costa Rica, Rio Sucio, Irazu (Rogers). 
We figure a specimen from Teapa. 
4. Metabrixia tacta, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 1, 1a.) 
Sat robusta, vertice sat longo, antice truncato, haud ad medium carinato; fronte longa, ocello frontali'percon- 
spicuo; pronoto scutelloque ad medium piceo, ad latera nigro; tegminibus subpellucidis, nigro irregulariter 
vittatis, venis crassis, variegatis; alis lacteis, venis fuscis ; pedibus testaceis. 
Mas segmento ultimo ventrali processu brevi instructo, stylis longis divergentibus, apicibus subsecuriformibus. 
A very distinct and rather robust species, with the vertex produced before the eyes and not raised at the 
margins; forehead long; eyes large, only slightly flattened beneath; pronotum and scutellum pitchy- 
brown in the centre, darker at the sides; tegmina semitransparent, very irregularly banded with black, 
and with the apex dark, the markings in front being more irregular than behind, the veins thick; wings 
milky, with the veins dark; legs testaceous. 
Male with the process of the last ventral segment small, and with the styles long and divergent, and 
subsecuriform towards the apex. 
Long. cum tegm. 72 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
5. Metabrixia maculata, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 2, 2a.) 
Sat magna, vertice ante oculos producto, ad latera, supra viso, auriculato-elevato; fronte longa, angusta, hac 
et vertice dilute testaceis; pronoto testaceo; scutello piceo; tegminibus subpellucidis, fusco-variegatis, 
venis crassis, brunneo-maculatis ; alis plus minusve fumosis ; pedibus dilute testaceis. 
A rather large species, with the vertex produced before the eyes and raised at the sides; forehead long and 
narrow, broadest just before the frontal ocellus; vertex, forehead, and pronotum testaceous; scutellum 
pitchy; tegmina semitransparent, variegated with brownish-fuscous or brown, the veins large, spotted, 
the spots giving the appearance of granulations ; wings smoky ; legs light testaceous. 
Long. cum tegm. 9 millim.; lat. ad hum, 2 millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Guatemaua, Panima in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen. There are two other females in our collection, taken by Mr. Champion 
at Cerro Zunil, Guatemala, which are allied to this species, but seem to be distinct; 
the group, however, is so obscure that I prefer not to describe them at present. We 
have also obscure and imperfect specimens belonging to this genus from Senahu in. 
Vera Paz, the Volcan de Chiriqui, and David.

This genus is easily distinguished by the very narrow vertex, which is reduced to a 
mere slit between the eyes; in other respects it appears to be closely allied to Oléarus 
and Cirvus.
