ACONOPHORA. . 71 
Hab. Mexico! (Mus. Holm.; coll. Signoret ; Sallé), Cuernavaca ‘in Morelos 
(H. H. Smith). | | | 
This species is darker and smaller than A. pallescens, to which it is closely allied. 
The typical specimen lent me by Dr. Aurivillius, and which is the one from which our 
figures are taken, appears to be much lighter in colour than the average examples. 
The specimen figured is from the Stockholm Museum. 
23. Aconophora pallescens. (Tab. V. fig. 23.) 
Aconophora pallescens, Stal, Kongl. Sv. Vet.-Ak. Handl. Band viii. 1, p. 35°. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Holm. ; coll. Signoret); Guatemata, San Gerénimo and Coban 
in Vera Paz (Champion). 
A specimen from the Stockholm Museum is figured. 
24, Aconophora viridula, sp. n. 
A. pallescenti affinis, sed latior, virescens, cornu pronoti multo magis depresso, pone deflexo ; corpore subtus 
infuscato ; pedibus dilute testaceis. 
Closely allied to A. pailescens, but easily distinguished by its considerably greater breadth and by the shape 
of the horn, which is short and almost deflexed ; the tegmina are hyaline, with the veins fuscous or 
testaceous, and the legs are entirely light testaceous ; the underside is infuscate ; the type specimen is 
greenish, the colour being especially marked in front, and in life the general colour is probably darkish 
green; the head is infuscate, with.a testaceous border; the tegmina are greenish-hyaline, with the veins 
testaceous ; the. underside is infuscate ; the legs are light testaceous. 
Long. 7 millim.; ab humeris ad apicem cornus 24 millim.; lat. int. hum. vix 3 millim. 
Hab. Muxico (Hoge), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
Four specimens. Besides these, I also refer to the same species, with some doubt, 
three specimens from Chontales, Nicaragua (Janson), and one from David, Chiriqui 
(Champion). | 
I think it very: probable that 4. pallescens and other species, which have been 
described as testaceous, may in life be of a greenish colour. 
25. Aconophora gladiata. — 
Aconophora gladiata, Stal, Kongl. Sv. Vet.-Ak. Handl. Band viii. L p. 35°. 
Hab. Mexico, Vera Cruz (Sallé, in Mus. Holm.'). 
I have not seen this insect, which appears to have been described from a single 
specimen, nor can I identify it from the description among the Membracide in our 
collection. 
96. Aconophora obtusiuscula, sp. n. 
Parva, brevis, capite infuscato, pronoto fusco-ferrugineo, subtiliter subrugose punctato, latitudine inter humeros 
longitudinem fere equante, cornu brevissimo, crasso, humeris vix prominulis, apice ipso brevissimo, sed
