90 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
Il. Pronotum with five distinct carine. 
1. Tegmina with the veins distinctly granulate towards the base, the granulations 
towards the apex being more or less merged in the dark veins. 
4. (cleus decens. (Tab. X. figg. 6, 6a; 7, 2, terminal segments of abdomen 
from beneath.) | 
(Ecleus decens, Stal, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1862, p. 307 '. 
Hab. Mexico 1, Chilpancingo and Amula in Guerrero (4. H. Smith). 
In the typical specimen of this insect the granulations on the veins of the tegmina 
are scarcely visible on the posterior third, the fuscous lines being continuous. In the 
male the last abdominal segment is emarginate on each side and produced between 
the emarginations into a rectangular plate, which is sharply angled on each side 
at the apex, and is produced in the centre; the apices of the styles, which are 
securiform and hooked, do not project far beyond this plate. 
2. Tegmina with the veins granulose throughout. 
5. Gicleus pellucens, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 8, 8a, 2; 9, ¢, terminal segments 
of abdomen from beneath.) : 
Preecedenti valde affinis, sed plerumque dilutior, venis tegminum distincte nigro-granulatis, interdum vitta 
plus minusve distincta instructis, colore et magnitudine variante. 
Mas segmento ultimo ventrali utrinque emarginato, in medio late producto tridentato, stylis longis, apicibus 
securiformibus. 
Variable in size and colour, much resembling @. decens, but with the veins of the tegmina more distinctly 
granulose; the apical veins are sometimes quite free from the surrounding colour, sometimes more or less 
fuscous, and occasionally there is a distinct band across the tegmina just behind the middle; the chief 
character, however, appears to be in the last ventral segment of the male, which is emarginate at the 
sides and produced into a broad but short plate in the centre, this plate being furnished with three distinct 
sharp teeth, and with an appendix in the centre, which is shorter than the styles, the latter being long, 
slender, and thickened at the apex. 
Long. cum tegm. 5~7 millim.; lat. ad hum. 1-14 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
It is possible that the specimens with a fuscous band on the tegmina may belong to 
another species. 
6. cleus minimus, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 10, 10a, 5, 3.) 
Precedenti valde affinis, sed multo minor, segmento ultimo maris ad medium late producto, haud dentato, 
facile distinguendus. 
Very closely resembling the preceding, from which it is only distinguished by its small size and the characters 
of the last abdominal segment of the male, the latter being deeply excised and produced into a short plate 
in the centre, the apex of which is minute and has a short dark appendix in the middle; the styles are 
long, securiform, and somewhat hooked. 
Long. cum tegm. vix 4 millim.; lat. ad hum, 1 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero 4600 feet (H. H. Smith).
