44 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
pronotum is unarmed and the wings have four apical cells; the upper cell, however, is 
occasionally extremely minute; the shoulders are very slightly and bluntly prominent ; 
the pronotum is obtriangular in shape, strongly punctured, with a distinct dorsal elevated 
line, and more or less distinct raised lines on each side of it.

Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 feet (Champion).—CotomBia °, Bogota !. 
One female specimen from Chiriqui, which we figure. I have examined the type- 
specimen of O. corrosa, which, as St&l remarks, has the tegmina of abnormal length ; 
in other points, however, it scarcely appears to differ from O. punctwm, and I have 
therefore regarded them as synonymous. Stal remarks of 0. punctum: “Ab O. corrosa 
vix differt, nisi magnitudine minore tegminibusque brevioribus.” 
2. Ochropepla pallens. 
Ochropepla pallens, Stal, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Foérh. xxvi. p. 268°. 
Hab. Mzxico !, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
We have received a male and a female of this insect from Tabasco. Stal says 
of this species: “ O. corrose simillima, minor, paullo latior et convexior, processu 
-postico thoracis paullo latiore, tegminibus brevioribus, parte sexta apicali pone 
abdomen extensi: e Mexico. An distincta?” . O. pallens certainly resembles 
O. corrosa very closely, but it isso much smaller that it can hardly be considered as 
identical unless intermediate forms are discovered. 
Triquetra hebes, Walk. (List of Homopt. Ins. ii. p. 525), closely resembles 0. pallens, 
and must, I think, at all events, be referred to this genus. 
8. Ochropepla inzgqualis, sp. n. (Tab. IV. figg. 8, 84, 3.) 
0. pallent affinis, sed angustior, pronoto inequali, fortiter punctato, utrinque pone humeros sat prominulos, 
et ante apicem, depresso, dorso late elevato, ochraceo vel ochraceo-brunneo, unicolori, vel maculis duabus 
fuscis plus minusve distinctis supra caput, et interdum maculis aliis indistinctis fuscis in disco vel ante 
-apicem notato; tegminibus hyalinis, venis testaceis vel fuscis, nonnunquam fusco-notatis; pedibus tes- 
taceis, tarsis anticis et intermediis interdum infuscatis. 
Closely allied to O. pallens but narrower, with the pronotum much less even, and appearing sinuate if viewed 
from the side, the elevated lines more marked and the humeral prominences more produced, the latter, 
if viewed from above, appearing very slightly recurved in some specimens; the colour is variable, being 
sometimes unicolorous ochraceous, but there are often two dark spots just above the head and sometimes 
others on the disc or towards the apex of the pronotum ; some specimens are brownish or obscure ferru- 
ginous; the tegmina are coloured like the pronotum, being sometimes unicolorous, and sometimes marked 
with dark patches in the more darkly coloured specimens.
