POPPEA.—PARANTONAE. 101 
8. Poppea munda, sp. n. (Tab. VII. figg. 9, 9 a, 3.) 
Minor, rufa, testaceo-variegata, vel fere tota pallida, cornibus processuque trispinoso plus minusve nigricantibus, 
vel saltem obscurioribus ; pronoto nitido, punctis remotioribus; cornibus acutis, recurvis, spind intermedia 
processus postici elongata acuta, spinis lateralibus multo brevioribus, fortiter recurvis; corpore toto 
pallido ; pedibus pallidis, tibiarum basi et femorum apice maculis quibusdam minutis obscuris. 
A small species, very like P. affinis in colour and appearance, but with the lateral spines of the posterior 
process of the pronotum much curved, and not standing almost straight out as in that insect; the light 
bands before the apex of the posterior spines, which appear to be always present, are more obscure in 
this species than in some of the others, and in some specimens are almost wanting. 
Long. cum tegm. 6 millim.; lat. int. corn. 3 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui 1200 feet (Champion). 
9. Poppea reticulata, sp. n. 
Precedenti affinis, sed longior, paullo angustior; cornibus pronoti magis recurvatis, et processu trispinoso 
spinis lateralibus longioribus angustiusque curvatis ; sculpturaque pronoti leviter reticulata. 
Very like the preceding, but narrower and of rather longer form, with the horns of the pronotum more curved, 
and the trispinose posterior process narrower in front, with the lateral spines longer and differently curved, 
the space between these and the intermediate spines being distinctly narrower, and the spines themselves 
being more parallel to the central spine; the sculpture of the pronotum is lightly, but distinctly, reticulate ; 
the general colour is pale, with the horns and posterior process dark. 
Long. 63 millim. ; lat. int. corn. 3 millim. 
Hab. GuatEmata, Panajachel 5000 feet (Champiun). 
This species appears to be quite distinct from the preceding, but it must be admitted 
that there is a specimen from the Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion) in our collection 
which is somewhat intermediate, though it belongs to this species rather than to 
P. munda. I am inclined to think that it must be referred to another species, 
although, on the other hand, it is possible that all three may be varieties of the 
same species. 
PARANTONAE, gen. nov. 
Genus Antonaé, Stal, affine; capite ineequali, leviter striato, ocellis inter se quam ab oculis minus distantibus, 
his prominulis ; pronoti antice angustiori, sine cornibus (parte anteriori in medio angulata, utrinque 
impress4), ad medium fortiter constricto, deinde fortissime dilatato, globoso, spina un4 apicali instructo ; 
tegminibus ut in Antonaé, Stal, reticulatis, areis apicalibus quinque, discoidalibus tribus. 
Head uneven, with two small tubercles, finely striated ; ocelli nearer to each other than to the eyes; pronotum 
without horns, strongly constricted, and divided into two distinct parts at the middle, where on each side 
there are two small lateral prominences, with the front part much the narrowest, obtusely angled in the 
middle, and the hinder part very strongly dilated, transversely globose, slightly elliptical, and terminated 
by a single spine; tegmina reticulate as in Antonaé and Ceresa, with five apical and three discoidal areas ; 
legs slender. 
This is a very strange-looking genus; it is closely related to Antonaé, but may at 
once be known by the general shape of the pronotum and the absence of frontal 
horns.
