138 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
America. I have only seen one specimen from California, which is from Signoret’s 
collection. 
An example from Atoyac is figured. 
Var. humilis, v. n. 
Multo minor, dorso vix antice elevato, rotundato, cornibus obtusiusculis brevioribus. 
A very small variety, with the dorsal ridge scarcely, if at all, elevated in front, and more or less evenly rounded, 
and the horns of the pronotum much shorter and blunter than in average specimens of the type form. 
Long. cum tegm. 6-7 millim.; lat. int. corn. vix 4 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Temax in North Yucatan (Gawmer); GuatemaLa, San Gerdnimo 
(Champion); Nicaraeua, Chontales (Janson); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
If the large series from Yucatan stood alone, I should have no hesitation in describing 
them as a distinct species; but the front part of the pronotum is slightly more elevated 
in some of the specimens from Chontales and San Gerdnimo, and these again lead on 
to others which may be classed either with the type or the variety, and also to small 
male specimens of the type form from Atoyac, Orizaba, &c., so that a series can be 
arranged with the transition complete. 
2. Antianthe viridissima.

Of this species we have received two males and three females from Mexico. It 
differs from A. expansa in having the pronotum less elevated in proportion in front ; 
the pronotum therefore appears lower if viewed from the side, and slopes much less 
abruptly in a straight line to the apex, which is apparently longer. In the Vienna 
Museum collection the specimens under A. expansa belong to this species, whereas a 
large number of the true A. expansa are unnamed. 
3. Antianthe foliacea. 
Smilia foliacea, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1864, p. 71’. 
Janthe foliacea, Stal, Ofv. Kongl. Vet.-Ak. Forh. 1867, p. 5547. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Holm.'), Puebla and Orizaba (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), 
Chiapas (Mus. Brit.); Guaremata (Mus. Roy. Belg. & coll. Signoret), San Juan and 
San Gerénimo in Vera Paz (Champion) ; Costa Rica (Van Patten).—Bradi.. 
The large size and strongly elevated and almost semicircularly rounded pronotum 
will easily distinguish this species.
