specimen, he discovered that H. granadensis was a Potnia, and that the insect he had 
quoted as the type of the genus Enchotype was really H. fairmairei and not H. grana- 
densis at all. I have the insects before me, and they so closely resemble each other 
that they might well be confused by anyone who had to go by a description in either 
case. The genus Enchotype is not represented in our collection. The two specimens in 
Signoret’s collection are from Bogota. 
The specimen of Potnia granadensis above referred to as from Costa Rica has the 
horn broken and the pronotum sprinkled at the sides with minute ochraceous tubercles. 
but I think it must be placed under this species. | 
2. Potnia brevicornis, sp.n. (Tab. IV. figg. 9, 9a.) 
Parva, sat lata, testacea, capite longitudine multo latiori, rugoso, sepius brunneo-variegato ; metopidio supra 
caput late plicato, plus minusve brunneo; pronoto antice in cornu breve, latum, obtusum extenso,. 
distincte et fortiter subrugosius punctato, carina centrali distinctaé, humeris prominulis, dorso a latere 
viso equali, lateribus in processum apicalem sat longum sensim angustatis ; tegminibus apicem prothoracis 
paullo superantibus, testaceo-hyalinis, ad basin punctatis; pedibus abdomineque flavo-testaceis, tarsis. 
infuscatis. . 
A small and rather broad species, lighter or darker testaceous, with the head and metopidium more or less. 
brown ; pronotum with a strong central keel, strongly and closely punctured, produced in front into a 
very short, broad, and blunt process, the side viewed from above broadly sinuate and gradually narrowed 
into a long and somewhat deflexed apical process, which nearly reaches the apex of the tegmina ; tegmina 
testaceous-hyaline, with strong brownish veins, which are sometimes variegated with darker colour on. 
external margin ; legs and abdomen yellow-testaceous, the tarsi more or less infuscate. 
Long. 6 millim. ; lat. int. hum. 3 millim.

This species appears to come very near to P. asodalis, described by Dr. Goding 
(Ent. News, iii. p.110) as from Marlo County, California. We figure a specimen 
from Boquete. ; 
ORTHOPLOPHORA, gen. nov. 
Elongata, angustior, pronoto cornu longo horizontaliter, haudquaquam oblique, porrecto, dorso ab apice 
pronoti usque ad apicem cornus frontalis «quali; metopidio ad marginem supra caput inter oculos. 
fere recto; humeris prominulis subdeorsum versis ; lateribus ab humeris angustatis in apicem acutum 
vix apicem abdominis superantem productis ; tegminibus valde elongatis, areis quinque apicalibus, unaque 
discoidali; alis sat latis areis tribus apicalibus, null& discoidali; ocellis paullo magis ab oculis quam inter: 
se distantibus. 
Elongate and proportionally narrow, with the head broad, as broad as the base of the pronotum; pronotum 
armed with a long porrect blunt horn, which extends straight forward and forms an unbroken line- 
with the dorsum from the apex—if anything it extends very slightly downward from the shoulders; viewed 
from above the pronotum is diamond-shaped, the front portion of the diamond being rather shorter than 
the hinder portion; the shoulders are moderately prominent and turned downwards if viewed from the 
front; the tegmina are very long, extending far beyond the apex of the pronotum, which just reaches. 
beyond the apex of the abdomen, and they have five apical areas and one discoidal; the wings are broad 
and have three apical areas only and no discoidal; the hind legs and tarsi are proportionally longer than 
in most of the other members of the group.
