78 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion).” 
Two female specimens. This is a very distinct species, and at first sight appears to 
belong to Eualthe or Hemiptycha proper; but I believe that it is rightly placed under 
Hyphinoé, and that it is nearly related to H. cornuta and H. purulensis. 
9. Hyphinoé bigutta. (Tab. VI. figg. 7, 7 a, 3.) 
Hyphinoé bigutta, Walk. List of Homopt. Ins., Suppl. p. 142°. 
flab. Guatemata (Scherzer!), El Reposo, Pantaleon 1700 feet, Volcan de Atitlan 
2500 to 3500 feet (Champion). 
All the specimens of this species hitherto discovered are females; it is a stout 
testaceous-yellow species, with a minute black spot at the sides of the pronotum 
(sometimes absent), and the tips of the horns and the apex of the pronotum black. 
H. bigutta has somewhat the facies of a large, stout species of Ceresa. Walker 
gives the length wrongly (wings 11 lines); the length “cum tegminibus” is 13 or 15 
millim., and the breadth between the horns 8 or9 millim. A specimen from El Reposo 
is figured. 
10. Hyphinoé ochracea, sp. n. (Tab. VI. figg. 8, 8 a.) 
Ochracea, subtus brunnea, vitté lata nigré ab humeris pronoti usque ad apicem cornuum extensé; pronoto 
elongato, antice lato, sat fortiter punctato ; metopidio ante cornua (breviora et obtusa) subrotundato, dorso 
fere recto in processum leviter curvatum fere apicem tegminum attingentem prolongato ; tegminibus 
brunneis ; pedibus testaceis. 
A large and robust species, ochraceous, with the underside dark, and with a broad black band extending beneath 
the horns to the humeral margins of the pronotum ; the margins from the shoulders to the apex are usually 
lighter ochraceous or yellow, but the colour is not well defined; the extreme apex of the horns, which 
are short and blunt, and sometimes the extreme apex of the pronotal process, are black; pronotum very 
broad in front, subrotundate in front of the horns and convex between the horns; moderately strongly 
punctured ; apex of the horns and pronotal process black; the pronotum is somewhat rugose, with large 
and not very closely-set punctures; the dorsal ridge is gradually declivous a little behind the middle, and 
is continued in a long, sharp, apical process, which reaches to the apex of the tegmina; legs testaceous or 
brownish-testaceous. The species may at once be known by the shape of the horns, which are much 
longer and more curved than in any other member of the genus, and rather resemble the horns of the 
species of the genus Hemiptycha proper. 
Long. 15 millim.; lat. int. corn. 73 millim. 
Hab. GuatemMaua (Mus. Roy. Belg.; Mus. Holm.). 
One specimen in the Stockholm Museum, and two others in the Royal Belgium 
Museum at Brussels; the description is taken from these latter. 
This species may easily be known by its colour, taken in conjunction with the convex 
pronotum ; in shape it resembles a large female of H. cuneata. 
Several of the species of the genus above described or noticed differ very much in 
facies, but it appears best to assign them all to Hyphinoé rather than to create new 
genera for them. Stal appears occasionally to become confused over his own genera;
