Hab. Mexico !.—CotomBia, Bogota?; VENEZUELA. 
This species is not represented in our collection, and, as will be noticed, is only 
doubtfully recorded by Walker from Mexico. The bright red head dnd metopidium 
and the very broad dark stripes on the yellow pronotum make it the most conspicuous 
and striking insect belonging to the genus.

5. Adippe concinna, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 18, 18 a.) | 
Brevior, sat robusta; capite flavo-virescenti, lined centrali longitudinali nigra, pronoto dense et distincte 
punctato, sparsim pubescenti, utrinque ad medium impresso, humeris prominulis, a dorso viso equaliter 
rotundato, fere semicirculari, virescenti, supra humeros et pone medium flavo, carina centrali antice et ad 
apicem, duabus lineis angustis fere semicircularibus a margine frontali metopidii usque ad latera pone 
medium, lineaque alteré A-formaté ante apicem, humerisque ad extremum apicem, nigris ; tegminibus 
hyalinis, margine exteriori ad majorem partem opacé, punctaté, nigro-viridi variegaté, et apice plus 
minusve infuscato ; corpore subtus pedibusque viridi-testaceis. 
A rather short species, with the pronotum of a green colour, variegated above the shoulders and on more or 
less of the disc with yellow, and with a thin black line extending from the front of the head to the middle 
along the central carina ; the line is here interrupted, but is present again at the apex ; the shoulders are 
distinctly, though slightly, prominent, and are black at the apex, and on each side above the shoulders 
reaching from the front margin of the metopidium to the margin of the pronotum just behind the middle 
there is a thin central black line, which is almost semicircular, and before the apex is a A-shaped line 
reaching from margin to margin, the apex of which is sometimes acute and sometimes rounded; tegmina 
hyaline, with the greater part of the exterior margin opaque and coloured like the pronotum, except that 
the dark colour usually prevails, and with a fuscous patch at the apex ; underside and legs clear greenish- 
testaceous ; probably the green colour is much more vivid in life, and the under surface and legs are 
bright green. | 
Long. 5 millim. ; lat. int. hum. 23 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
A small and somewhat variable series. This is a very distinct and pretty little 
species, and cannot be confused with any other that I have seen. 
6. Adippe inconspicua, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 19, 19a.) 
Preecedenti affinis, sed unicolor, virescens vel fusco-virescens, partibus anticis dilutioribus, et pronoto minus 
eequaliter rotundato, supra viso antice prominulo, metopidio fere recto; tegminibus hyalinis, margine 
exteriori ut in preecedentibus ; corpore subtus brunneo-testaceo ; pedibus testaceis. 
Of a dull green or fuscous colour, with the head and metopidium and sometimes the space above the shoulders 
much lighter, yellowish-green; prouotum less evenly rounded than in the preceding species, forming 
more of an angle at the commencement of the metopidium, which is almost straight; if viewed from 
above there is a distinct blunt angular projection of the central carina; the sides have the ribs between 
the punctuation more distinct and regular than is usual in the genus, but in this the species appears to 
vary; tegmina hyaline, with the exterior margin mostly opaque and punctured and coloured like the 
. elytra, and with a fuscous spot just before the apex ; underside brownish-testaceous ; legs testaceous. 
Long. 5 millim.; lat. int. hum. 23 millim.
