POPPEA. | 99 
3. Poppea subrugosa, sp.n. (Tab. VII. figg. 5, 5a, 4.) 
Sat robusta, pronoto nigro vel nigro-brunneo, vittis ante apicem spinarum postici processus testaceis, cornibus 
brevibus fere recte exstantibus, vix curvatis, fortiter, profunde, et (precipue ad latera) subrugose punctato, 
dorso a latere viso in medio sinuato, haud excavato; processu trispinoso crasso, spind media tereti, late- 
ralibus multo longiori, his brevibus, apice excepto incrassatis et inflatis ; corpore plus minusve obscuro, 
apice segmentorum testaceo; pedibus testaceis, femoribus tibiisque ad partem obscuris. 
A rather stout and robust species, with the pronotum black (in immature specimens more or less brown), with 
the usual testaceous bands before the apex of the spines of the posterior process; the metopidium projects 
distinctly beyond the anterior horns, which are short, stout at the base, and almost horizontal, being only 
very slightly recurved; the pronotum is strongly, deeply, and subrugosely punctured, especially at‘ the 
sides (if viewed from the side, the back is only sinuate in the middle, and not excavated or deeply 
channelled as in the two preceding species); the trispinose posterior process is thick, with the central 
spine slender, and the lateral spines short and incrassate, and with only a short slender point at the 
apex; the body is dark, with the apex of the segments testaceous ; legs testaceous, with the greater part 
of the femora, and the apex and base of the posterior tibie, dark. 
Long. 74 millim.; lat. int. corn. 3 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion). 
The type specimen has the pronotum shining black; in a second specimen from the 
same locality, which appears to belong to the same species, it is brown with the horns 
and posterior process darker, and the legs lighter. 
4, Poppea rectispina. 
Cyphonia rectispina, Fairm. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. sér, 2, iv. p. 502°. 
Hab. Mexico ! (Sallé) ; Guatemata, San Juan in Vera Paz, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 
feet (Champion). 
This species may easily be known by its large size, the almost glabrous disc of the 
pronotum, the uniform dark orange-testaceous colour, and the nearly straight lateral 
spines of the posterior process. 
There is a broken specimen from Sabo, Vera Paz (Champion), in our collection, which 
apparently belongs to a new species, closely allied to P. rectispina, but with the 
posterior process quite different; as, however, the pronotal horns are wanting, it cannot 
be described. 
5. Poppea capricornis, sp. n. (Tab. VII. figg. 6, 64, b.) 
Rufa, testaceo-variegata, cornibus pronoti (saltem apicem versus) processuque postico trispinoso nigris vel 
nigro-rofis, spinis lateralibus ante apicem late testaceis, spinis intermediis vittis duabus testaceis ; 
pronoto cornibus longis recurvis acutis, sed quoad curvationem nonnihil variantibus, parce nigro-setoso, 
punctis magnis quibusdam remotioribus precipue ad latera instructo; corpore subtus testaceo ad partem 
nigricanti; pedibus pallidis, apice et aliquando vitta ante basin tibiarum obscurioribus. 
Rufous, more or less distinctly variegated with testaceous, with the horns of the pronotum, at all events 
towards the apex, black; the trispinose process has the lateral spines almost parallel with the inter- 
mediate spine—it is black with the lateral spines broadly testaceous before the apex, and the intermediate 
spine furnished with two testaceous bands, the hinder one being sometimes indistinct ; the horns of the 
pronotum are long and recurved, but vary a little in direction; the pronotum is smooth and shining, with
