APHROPHORA.—XENAPHROPHORA. 195 
In this species the third vein from the outer marginal vein is sometimes simple and 
sometimes forked, enclosing a larger or smaller apical area; occasionally such an area 
is present on one wing and not on the other. 
An example from Omilteme is figured. 
Besides the specimens above described there is in our collection a single example 
from Balheu, Vera Paz (Champion), which is rather like A. grisea, but appears to be 
distinct from that species. I should not, however, care to describe it as new without 
further material. The single specimen of A. grisea from Teapa is somewhat different 
from the others. 
PARAPHROPHORA, gen. nov. 
Elongata; capite sat magno, ante oculos producto, obtuse rotundato, ocellis valde approximatis ; metopidio 
fortiter obliquo, vertice carinato; pronoto carinato, postice fortiter sinuato, scutello fere sequilaterali ; 
tegminibus longis; alis amplis, vena tertia interiori simplici haud furcaté, venis transversis haud obliquis ; 
pedibus teretibus, tibiis posticis longis gracilibus, spinis duabus altera sub apicem parva, altera basin versus 
minima armatis. 
Closely allied to Aphrophora, but differs in its more elongate form and, especially, in 
the slender legs and elongate and slender posterior tibize, which are armed with two 
spines, one near the base very small, and one before apex somewhat larger; the crown 
of spines at the apex of the posterior tibiz is distinct, but not strongly marked; the 
third interior vein from the outer submarginal vein shows no trace of furcation. 
1. Paraphrophora simplex, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 9.) 
Testacea, unicolor, sat nitida; pronoto longitudine sesquilatiori, sat fortiter punctato, carinato; scutello 
leviter transversim rugoso; tegminibus fortius punctatis ; pedibus testaceis, tarsis ad apicem fuscatis. 
Of a uniform testaceous colour, rather shining; head somewhat rugose, pronotum strongly punctured ; tegmina 
with one or two very obscure lighter patches at the margins; legs testaceous, with the apex of the 
tarsi black. 
Long. 8 millim.; lat. max. 3 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdnimo, 3000 feet (Champion). 
XENAPHROPHORA, gen. nov. 
Precedenti valde affinis, sed major, robustior, pronoto haud carinato, linea levi media nitidé; alis amplis, vend 
tertid interiore ante apicem furcataé; pedibus teretibus, tibiis posticis longis gracilibus, spinis duabus 
parvis armatis. 
Very closely allied to the preceding genus, but larger and stouter, with the pronotum 
not carinate, the keel being replaced by a broad smooth shining line, on the surface of 
which there is sometimes a feeble trace of carination towards the apex; the vertex 
shows traces of a carina; wings with the third vein from the outer submarginal vein 
furcate at some distance before the apex and enclosing a long narrow apical area; legs 
slender, posterior tibize long, with two small teeth. 
I at first included this genus under Paraphrophora, but it bears just the same relation
