220 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
perhaps, be placed under the genus Amblydisca, but its general affinities appear to be 
much more towards Awlacizes. 
A specimen from Bugaba is figured. 
14. Aulacizes confusa. 
Tettigonia confusa, Sign. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1855, p. 58, t. 6. fig. 12*. 
Hab. Mexico! (Mus. Vind. Ces.). 
This species is not represented in our collection; it is allied to A. amdlardi, but is 
broader and has the head shorter and more truncate, besides being differently coloured. 
15. Aulacizes insignior, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 22.) 
Major, lata, fusca, rufo-variegata; vertice elongato, lato, obtuse rotundato, impresso, oculis prominulis ; pronoto 
antice distincte angustato, fortiter rugose punctato, basi fortiter sinuata, utrinque ad medium impresso, 
fusco-testaceo, indistincte rufo-variegato; scutello magno fuscato; tegminibus distincte punctatis, ad 
apicem reticulatis, fuscis, irregulariter rufo-vittatis ; pedibus fuscis. 
A large and conspicuous species ; head long, the underside flatly horizontal, if viewed from the side; vertex 
long, produced in a large triangle, with the apex bluntly rounded, impressed in front and broadly sulcate 
behind ; eyes prominent; pronotum distinctly narrowed in front, strongly impressed in front and at the 
sides, rugosely punctured, deeply sinuate at the base; tegmina distinctly and closely, but not strongly, 
punctured, fuscous, with a broad irregular red band extending obliquely from the scutellum to the sides, 
and a second band extended across the surface at about a third before the apex, the apical third being 
fuscous, subhyaline, and reticulate; legs fuscous. 
Long. 17 millim.; lat. ad hum. 5 millim. 
Hab. Panama (Boucard). 
I have described this species with some hesitation, as the type-specimen is a poor 
one and imperfect, but in size and structure and general appearance it differs greatly 
from the other members of the genus, and is easily recognizable ; A. insignior may 
‘very probably have to be removed from Aulacizes. 
PHERA. 
Phera, Stal, Kong. Svensk. Vet.-Ak. Hand]. Band viii. no. 1 (Hemipt. Fabr. ii.), p. 60, nota (1869). 
I have regarded this genus of Stal as including certain species which have the head 
produced in a more or less elongate triangle, the vertex plainly furrowed, and the 
pronotum with the sides quite parallel or, if anything, broader at the apex than at - 
the base; the two veins of the clavus are sometimes distinct, but appear often to 
coalesce for the greater part of their length, and divide into a fork at each end.
