STICTOPELTA. | 57 
6. Stictopelta punctata, sp.n. (Tab. V. figg. 2, 2a, d.) 
Preecedenti affinis, sed paullo major; capite testaceo, pronoto violaceo-brunneo, metopidio sparsim testaceo, 
limbo albido irregulari ab oculis usque ad tertiam partem ante apicem extenso, et macula albida laterali 
utrinque prope apicem instructo; pronoto fortius regulariter punctato, haud rugoso, apice obtuso ; 
tegminibus longius ultra apicem pronoti extensis, ad apicem fuscis ; pedibus plerumque testaceis. 
A little larger than the preceding species, with the pronotum of a violaceous-brown colour, the metopidium 
being mottled with whitish-testaceous ; just above the head, which is whitish-testaceous, there are two 
narrow transverse black bands, which bend at an obtuse angle and join the margin just aboye the eyes ; 
there is an irregular whitish patch at each side, extending from the eyes and ceasing at some distance 
before the apex, and between this and the apex, which is blunt, there is an irregular lateral whitish spot ; 
the chief character of the species, however, is its strong and regular punctuation, which separates it from 
all the other members of the genus; the tegmina extend to some distance beyond the apex, and are more 
than half exposed towards the tips; legs for the most part of a light testaceous colour. 
Long. 8, cum tegm. 9 millim. ; lat. int. hum. 43 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Mescala in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
One female specimen. This and the preceding species have the tegmina as much 
exposed towards the apex as in the species of Darnis, i.sp., and they belong to Stal’s 
subgenus Ochrolomia. The venation of the wings is as in Stictopelta. 
7. Stictopelta assimilis, sp. n. 
S. varianti quoad colorem et staturam simillima, sed pronoto ad apicemaacutiore apicem tegminum tegente, 
et tegminibus pronoto fere totis tectis, facillime distinguenda. 
In size and colour very closely allied to S. varians, but easily distinguished by having the pronotum more 
acute at the apex and entirely covering the apex of the tegmina, and also by the fact that the tegmina 
at the sides are almost entirely covered by the pronotum, which is a little more shining and has the 
humeral prominences slightly more marked. 
Long. 8 millim.; lat. int. hum. 4 millim. 
Hab, GuateMata, Duefias (Champion). 
Two male specimens; these are extremely like S. varians, but, according to Stal’s 
characters, they belong to separate genera. 
8. Stictopelta hinnuleus, sp. n. 
Major, sat robusta, testaceo-brunnea, limbo albido pronoti ab humeris usque ad apicem extenso; capite 
strigoso; pronoto modice punctato, ad apicem acuminatum sensim angustato; tegminibus hyalinis, 
venis testaceis, tertia parte intecta ; pedibus testaceis. 
Rather a large species, of a clear testaceous or light olivaceous-brown colour, with a narrow whitish border 
extending from behind the shoulders to the apex, which is acuminate ; the head is longitudinally strigose, 
and the pronotum is distinctly, and in some parts slightly subrugosely, punctured, and extends beyond 
the apex of the tegmina, of which about a third part or less is left uncovered; legs testaceous ; underside 
rather dark. 
Long. 11 millim.; lat. int. hum. 53 millim. 
_ Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca and Orizaba (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.). 
Two female specimens, both in the Vienna Museum. This species appears to be
