HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 145 
5. Acrephia simillima, sp. n. 
Allied to A. montezwma, but differing from that species'in the following characters :—The posterior angle to 
the mesonotum is black, not sanguineous ; the tegmina are more suffused with ochraceous spots, but the 
macular basal fascia is absent, the apical margin is also concolorous, not brownish ochraceous ; the wings 
have the subapical white fascia in A. montezuma replaced by a subapical white elongate spot, which is 
situate at some distance from both the anterior and posterior margins. A common similarity in structural 
characters pervades nearly all the species of this genus.
