2. Aspona intermedia, sp. n. (Tab. IV. figg. 13, 13 a—c.) 
Preecedenti affinis, sed lateribus pronoti parallelis usque ad mox pone medium, deinde sensim in apicem 
angustatis; capite testaceo; pronoto sat nitido, minus scabro, fortiter subrugose punctato, linea centrali 
lineisque quibusdam utrinque sat regularibus elevatis, virescenti flavo-testaceo variegato, humeris prominulis, 
auritis, nigris, dorso utrinque ad medium late leviter impresso; tegminibus hyalinis ad basin extremam 
nigro-testaceoque variegatis, apice fusco, venis interne fuscis, ad marginem exteriorem testaceis; pedibus 
testaceis, femoribus ad partem infuscatis. 
Allied to the preceding, from which it may easily be known by its form and less scabrous sculpture; head 
testaceous, finely punctured; pronotum greenish, variegated with yellow or orange-testaceous, with the 
shoulders auriculate and deep black, sides parallel until a little behind middle, from whence they are 
gradually narrowed to the apex, dorsum broadly and indistinctly depressed at about the middle, punctuation 
strong and subrugose in moderately even rows, separated by somewhat irregular raised lines; tegmina 
hyaline, with the interior veins pitchy, and those at the margin yellow-testaceous, the extreme base 
opaque, variegated with black and testaceous; legs testaceous, with the femora partly infuscate. 
Long. 7 millim.; lat. inter cornua 5 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
8. Aspona cuneata, sp. n. (Tab. IV. figg. 14, 14a, d.) 
Preecedenti affinis, sed pronoti lateribus ab humeris usque ad apicem sensim angustatis, dorso squali, vix 
impresso, convexo, ordinibusque punctorum, interstitiisque pluribus et magis regularibus instructo ; capite 
testaceo, pronoto virescenti, dorso flavo-variegato, maculéque magna albidé utrinque ad marginem ; metopidio 
convexo, humeris auriculatis, ferrugineis, apice postico sat acuto, flavo; tegminibus hyalinis, venis totis 
externis flavo-testaceis, ceteris brunneis; pedibus testaceis. 
Allied to the preceding, from which it may easily be distinguished by its form, the sides of the pronotum being 
gradually narrowed from the shoulders to the apex, and by the more regular rows of punctures and less 
rugose interstices, which are considerably more in number; the colour is greenish, with the dorsum 
variegated with orange-yellow, and with a long and large whitish or yellowish-white spot on each side 
touching the margin; tegmina hyaline, with the external veins reddish-yellow, and the rest pitchy; legs 
testaceous. Only one discoidal area is present.

This genus, as here restricted, contains about half a dozen species from Central or 
Tropical South America. They may be distinguished by having the greater part of the 
tegmina uncovered by the pronotum towards the apex, and also by the venation of the
