MICRUTALIS. 119 
obscuram in metopidio includente, apice extremo albido; tegminibus nitidis, parte tertid apicali excepta 
nigris, opacis, hac hyalina, venis testaceis distinctis; corpore subtus (lateribus prosterni brunneis nitidis 
exceptis) pedibusque totis Jaete flavo-testaceis. 
Rather a broad, stout species, with the head dark, with a light central line; pronotum strongly impressed at 
the sides, distinctly and not very closely punctured, with a blunt, short, depressed apex; the dorsum, if 
viewed from the side, is rather strongly rounded; the colour of the pronotum is black, with a large green 
semicircular band extending from the middle to the shoulders and along the sides of the metopidium, and 
enclosing on the latter a large dark patch which reaches the front margin, the extreme apex whitish ; 
tegmina shining black for almost two-thirds of their length, then abruptly hyaline, the hyaline portion being 
furnished with distinct testaceous veins; underside and legs clear yellow-testaceous, the sides of the 
prosternum brown, very shining. 
Long. 4 millim.; lat. int. hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One female specimen. This is a very distinct species, and differs considerably from 
any other which I have seen; the colour may prove to be variable, but the general 
shape and structure and veining of the tegmina will serve to distinguish it. 
7. Micrutalis notatipennis, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 3, 3 a.) 
Robusta, lata, capite pronotoque totis nigris, hoe distincte remotius, ad latera densius, punctato, dorso a latere 
viso leviter sinuato, ante apicem nonnihil sinuato, apice ipso brevi; tegminibus, apice hyalino excepto, 
coriaceis, opacis, maculé ad marginem exteriorem, alteraque minori ad marginem exteriorem albida, 
notatis ; corpore subtus pedibusque nigris, tibiarum apice testaceo. 
A broad, stout, and rather large species, entirely black, except the apex of the tegmina and two spots un the 
exterior and interior margins, which are hyaline; the tibiz also have a whitish ring at the apex; 
pronotum distinctly and rather remotely punctured, more distinctly and strongly at the sides, the sides 
not or scarcely impressed, the shoulders marked by a smooth, rather sharp, callosity, the apex short and 
blunt, just reaching to the end of the coriaceous portion of the tegmina; veins ceasing before the hyaline 
portion of the tegmina. 
Tong. 4 millim.; lat. int. hum. 2} millim. 
Hab. Mextco, Chilpancingo in Guerrero 4600 feet (7. H. Smith). 
One male specimen. At first sight this species looks more like a small Horiola or 
Tragopa; but it belongs to neither of these genera, and it appears best to place it 
under Micrutalis, at all events provisionally. 
8. Micrutalis dubia, sp. n. 
Sat robusta et lata, nigra, nitida, pronoto latera versus obscure flavo-notato, subtilissime punctato, apice ipso 
brevi, obtusissimo, albescenti; tegminibus, plus quam tertidé parte apicali excepta, brunneo-variegatis, 
parte apicali hyalina, venis magnis brunneis, area apicali secundd minima, brunned, vix conspicua; corpore 
subtus nigro ; pedibus brunneis. 
Rather broad and short, shining black, with very obscure yellow markings at the sides of the pronotum, and a 
. very narrow brownish-white line at the margins of the shoulders; pronotum very finely punctured, the 
apex short and blunt, whitish; tegmina with rather more than their apical third hyaline, and the rest 
dark, somewhat variegated, the veins large, dark, conspicuous, the area at the extreme apex very minute 
and dark; underside black; legs ferruginous-brown. 
Long. 3 millim.; lat. int. hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 feet (Champion).
