134 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
2. Adippe maculata. (Tab. VIII. figg. 15, 15a.) 
Adippe maculata, Distant, Ent. Monthly Mag. xvi. p. 11°. 
Hab. Nicaracva, Chontales (Janson); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 
feet (Rogers!) ; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 6000 feet (Champion). 
Mr. Distant described this species from a single poor example, and it was only 
after a close examination that I came to the conclusion that the other specimens referred 
to belonged to the same species; they only differ, however, in the dark markings of 
the head and metopidium, which he describes as follows :—‘‘ Head and frontal portion 
of the pronotum luteous, the last with two small black spots placed transversely and 
close together on the centre immediately above the head, and a central fascia of the 
same colour above these on the disc.” In all the other specimens I have seen the 
black markings of the metopidium consist of two broad curved bands which meet the 
post-humeral fascia of the pronotum, and are occasionally joined at the point at which 
they approach nearest to one another by another frontal fascia; they show, however, 
slight signs of variation, and in the type example almost disappear. Mr. Distant is 
also wrong with regard to the tegmina, which he describes as “ black, with a large 
hyaline spot a little before the apex”; they are large and hyaline, with the exterior 
margin only broadly dark, the portion towards the base, as is usual in this genus, being 
opaque and strongly punctured and coloured after the fashion of the pronotum, though 
the black colour is always more prevalent ; a little before the apex of the margin there 
is a hyaline spot. | 
We figure a specimen from Chontales. 
3. Adippe pardalina, sp.n. (‘Lab. VIII. figg. 16, 16 a.) 
Flavo-rufescens vel flava, capite subcordato unicolori, pronoto fortius punctato, sparsim pubescenti, humeris 
prominulis nigris, metopidio vittis duabus latis obliquis nigris, dorso maculis quatuor nigris, macula ante 
apicem ad marginem utrinque producta, sinuata, ceteris a marginibus et inter se disjunctis, apice et una 
vel duabus maculis utrinque ad marginem nigris ; tegminibus hyalinis, margine exteriori ad basin opaca, 
punctata, nigré, flavo-variegata, maculaque ante apicem fuscé; abdomine brunneo; pedibus nigris, ad 
partem brunneis. . 
Of a yellowish-red or yellow colour, with the head unicolorous, and the pronotum with the shoulders, two 
oblique bands on the metopidium (approaching one another just above the head), three bands behind these 
separate from the margins and from one another, a sinuate band before the apex reaching right across 
from margin to margin, the apex, and two spots at the margins (the one near the shoulders being usually 
very small), black ; surface of the pronotum strongly punctured, with a very distinct short oblique carina 
on each side of the central carina just behind the middle; tegmina hyaline, with the exterior margin 
towards the base broadly opaque and punctured, black, variegated with yellow, and with a fuscous spot 
before the apex ; underside brown; legs black, with more or less distinct. brownish rings, and the tarsi 
mostly brown or reddish-brown. 
Long. 5-63 millim. ; lat. int. hum. 23-3 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volean de Chiriqui 2500 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
A fair series. This is a very distinct species; it is variable in size and in depth of 
colour.
