CLASTOPTERA. 201 
4, Clastoptera minima, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 18.) 
Oblonga, minima, nigra, metopidio testaceo transversim nigro-lineato ; pronoto leviter transversim rugoso- 
lineato, scutello distincte sculpturato; clavo fortiter, corio levius punctato, apice tegminum sat late 
hyalino, callis parvis sed distinctis ; corpore subtus pedibusque piceis. 
A very small black species, with the metopidium more or less obscurely testaceous and furnished with fine 
black transverse lines; the pronotum is finely but distinctly sculptured in transverse lines; the clavus is 
strongly punctured, and the corium is less finely but distinctly punctured almost to the apex and more or 
less light at the sides; legs pitchy. 
Long. 23-3 millim.; lat. 2 millim. 
Hab. Muxtco, Orizaba (H. H. Smith & F. D. Godman), Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith). 
The very small size, oblong shape, and strong punctuation will easily separate this 
species. 
We figure a specimen from Vera Cruz. 
5. Clastoptera antica, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 19.) 
Oblonga, haud nitida, nigra, albido-variegata ; metopidio ad medium longitudinaliter nigro, utrinque concinne 
nigro albidoque lineato; pronoto distincte impresso lineato, albido, basi, linea tenui centrali, lineAque 
latiori utrinque arcuata nigris; scutello albido-variegato; tegminibus subtiliter sculpturatis ad medium 
albido-variegatis, apicibus haud hyalinis, callis indistinctis vel deficientibus; pedibus nigris. Variat 
testaceaé variegatione, pedibusque variegatis. 
Oblong, dull, black, very constantly variegated with whitish ; metopidium black in the centre, with lines 
of white and black on each side; pronotum distinctly impressed with fine lines, whitish, with the base, a 
thin central line, and an arcuate line on each side before the apex, black; a band of whitish variegation 
passes across the tegmina and scutellum, curving somewhat at the margin, and reaching more or less 
down the sides; apex of the tegmina not hyaline, without or with indistinct callosities ; legs black, 
occasionally more or less variegated with whitish or testaceous. 
Long. 33 millim. ; lat. 2} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500-4000 feet (Champion). 
This is one of the most distinct species of the genus which I have as yet come across. 
A short series has been received. 
6. Clastoptera semivitrea, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 20.) 
Subglobosa, nitida, metopidio verticeque testaceis ; hoc lined inter oculos, linedque basali fuscis, illo line& 
lata nigra antice notato; pronoto testaceo, disco nigro fere glabro; scutello testaceo, ad basim nigro; 
tegminibus testaceis, irregulariter fusco-maculatis, parte dimidia apicali hyalina, callis parvis vel minimis ; 
pedibus testaceis. 
A subglobose, moderately large, shining species, with the metopidium and vertex testaceous, with dark lines ; 
pronotum testaceous, with the disc dark; scutellum testaceous, with a dark triangular spot at the 
base; the markings, however, are evidently variable, and some are probably often wanting ; tegmina 
with the apical half hyaline, with exceedingly small, though distinct, callosities, and the basal half 
testaceous, glabrous, with irregular fuscous markings; underside and legs testaceous. 
Long. 44-5 millim. ; lat. 3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Xucumanatlan in Guerrero, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
The description is taken from the specimens from Teapa. ‘The single example
