4. Aithalion gratum. 
Kthalion gratum, Walk. List of Homopt. Ins., Suppl. p. 169 (1858) '. 
Atthalion dilatatum, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxv. p. 73 (1864) ?. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé!; Mus. Holm.? ; Mus. Oxon.) ; Guatemata, San Juan in Vera 
Paz, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, Capetillo (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 
2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
One example only from each of the four localities quoted. I had determined the 
above synonymy from an examination of one of Stal’s types and of Walker’s species, of 
which there is a single example in the British Museum; but I find since that Stal 
himself has noticed it (Ofv. Kongl. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1869, p. 299). 
ADDENDUM. 
Among a few insects received after the completion of the MSS. of the Membracide 
was one which seemed at first to belong to the later Centrotine, as it resembled one or 
two of these in general appearance; the very short posterior tarsi, however, and the 
venation of the tegmina, at once showed that it belonged to the Hoplophorine. I 
include it under Ochropepla (anted, p. 48), although in some points it differs from that 
genus; it has the fourth apical wing-cell only just indicated.
