MEMBRACIS.—ENCHOPHYLLUM. 7 
broad, above the head, almost crescent-shaped if viewed from the side, a second in the centre of the back 
extending down each side to about half the depth of the pronotum, and slightly dilated for about two- 
thirds of its depth, and a third just before apex, which leaves the extreme tip of the pronotum black; 
there is rather a strong sinuation just before the apex ; tegmina considerably longer than pronotum ; legs 
black. 
Long. cum tegm. 8 millim.; alt. max. 4 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann). 
One specimen. This species appears to be allied to M. intermedia, Fairm., but differs 
considerably i in the shape of the pronotum and other ‘particulars. 
ENCHOPHYLLUM. 
Enchophyllun, Amyot et Serville, Hist. Nat. des Ins. Hémipt. p. 534: (1843) ; Stal, Kongl Sv. 
Vet.-Ak. Handl. (Hem. Fabr.), Band viii. 1, p. 41 (1869). 
_ This genus contains a few representatives from North, Central, and South America, 
which are connected with Membracis through the large and conspicuous Enehophyllum 
cruentatum, the type species on which Amyot and Serville founded the genus. Stal 
has subdivided the genus into three subgenera—Phyllotropis (to which E. cruentatum 
must be referred, and which answers to Burmeister’s Division III. of Membracis, called 
by him ‘M. foliaceo-ensate ’), Enchophyllum, and Tropidocera; the species here men- 
tioned belong to the last-named subgenus.

A specimen from Cerro Zunil is figured. 
2. Enchophyllum albidum, sp. n. (Tab. I. figg. 8, 8 a.) 
EE. melaleuco affine, sed cornu magis porrecto, leviter arcuato, et colore differt; capite nigro, ocellis albidis, 
conspicuis; pronoto albido, cornu, vittaé ante apicem, et apice ipso, fusco-nigris; tegminibus griseo- 
fulvis; pedibus nigro-fuscis, tarsis testaceis. 
About the same size as the preceding species, from which it may at once be distinguished by its colour and by 
the slightly longer and distinctly curved horn of the pronotum, which is of a dirty whitish colour, with 
the horn, a band before the apex, and the apex itself black; there are also dark markings above the head, 
which is black; pronotum distinctly punctured, with the dorsal keel acute; keels at sides of horn not 
extending beyond its base; shoulders slightly prominent; tegmina of a uniform tawny grey colour, 
darker at the extreme base; legs dark, with the tarsi light. 
Long. 8 millim., cum tegm. 10 millim. 
Hab. GuatemaLa, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
_ One example.
