118 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
Female with the last ventral segment of the abdomen deeply emarginate, the emargination being sinuate and 
produced into a tooth in the centre ; anal process broad, obtuse at the apex. 
Long. cum tegm. 4 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
There is a specimen in our collection from Xucumanatlan belonging to yet another 
species of this genus: it is larger than either of the two above described, with the 
tegmina strongly falcate as in H. falcatus, but it is in too imperfect a condition to be 
satisfactorily described. 
AMPHISCEPA. 
Amphiscepa, Germar, in Thon’s Archiv, i. Heft 2, p. 52 (1830), and in Silbermann’s Revue Ent. i. 
p. 175 (1833); Stal, Bidrag till Rio Janeiro-Traktens Hem.-Fauna, p. 67; Hemipt. Afr. ii. 
p- 209. 
This genus has the tegmina subtriangular, very broad, and rounded, and the wings 
narrow, varying in length, sometimes being very short and almost rudimentary. The 
posterior tibiz are said by Stal to be unispinose, but in the two species which I have 
referred to Amphiscepa there is hardly a trace of a spine: one of these I found placed 
under the name of this genus in the Vienna Museum collection; it was unnamed, but 
had apparently been assigned to this position by Signoret. Two species were included 
in Amphiscepa by Germar, A. nodipennis and A. malina. 
Acomvémia. :1, Amphiscepa calida, sp.n. (Tab. XII. figg. 8, 8 a.) 
Sat lata, brunnea, fusco testaceoque variegata; vertice transverso, lateribus elevatis, antice in medio producto, 
ante oculos distincte extenso; fronte latitudine haud longiori, lateribus rotundatis, carinatis, carina 
centrali distincté; clypeo haud carinato; pronoto modico, antice leviter rotundato, haud producto ; 
scutello magno, hoc et pronoto testaceis ad latera fuscis; tegminibus amplis, rotundatis, variegatis, 
callositate ad medium elevata, testaced, venis irregularibus, plus minusve reticulatis; pedibus longis, 
brunneis. 
Rather broad, brown, variegated with fuscous and testaceous; vertex transverse, with the sides raised and 
rather widened in front, projecting beyond and a little over the eyes, and. with a distinct projection in the 
middle continued in the frontal carina, which is strong at the base; forehead not longer than broad, 
strongly rounded at the sides in front; clypeus very large, smooth, and produced into a small depressed 
pointed process behind, without central keel; pronotum and scutellum testaceous, with the sides dark, 
the former less than half as long as the latter, gently rounded but not produced on its anterior margin ; 
tegmina large and ample, rounded, variegated, with a strong raised callosity in the centre, which makes 
them appear dilated at the middle, if viewed from above, veins irregular, more or less reticulate ; legs 
long, brown. 
In the male the last ventral segment appears to be slightly emarginate and the anal tube to be channelled 
above.
