260 HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 
68. Tettigonia rubricollis, sp.n. (Tab. XVII. fig. 7.) 
Nigra, levis; pronoto antice, pectore et pedibus lete miniatis vel rufo-flavis; capite modice producto late 
rotundato, impresso, oculis prominulis; pronoto lateribus vix antice angustatis, basi fere recta; alis 
fuscatis. 
Deep black, smooth, with the front part of the pronotum, except just at the apex, bright yellow-red or scarlet, 
and the hinder portion abruptly black, the line of demarcation between the two colours forming an angle 
in the centre; chest, except the sides, and legs bright yellow-red ; head moderately produced, transversely 
impressed, broadly rounded in front, with the eyes rather prominent ; pronotum with the sides slightly 
narrowed in front and the base nearly straight ; tegmina without noticeable sculpture, unicolorous black 
to the apex ; wings almost as dark as the tegmina. 
Long. 8 millim.; lat. ad hum. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme and Xucumanatlan in Guerrero 7000 to 8000 feet 
(H. H. Smith). 
This insect bears a considerable resemblance to a small moth, Lithosia rubricoliis, 
Superficially it is somewhat like Tettigonia costaricensis, Distant, but may easily be 
known by its smaller size, differently shaped head, and red legs; in 7. costaricensis, 
moreover, the pronotum is entirely yellow or reddish-yellow, except a small part of the 
anterior margin. | 
We figure a specimen from Xucumanatlan. 
69. Tettigonia pulchella. (Tab. XVII. figg. 8; 9, var. proxima).

Hab. Mexico123 (Sallé; Mus. Vind. Ces.; Mus. Roy. Belg.; Mus. Holm.), Tierra 
Colorada and Acapulco in Guerrero, Atoyac in. Vera Cruz, Teapa in ‘Tabasco 
(H. H. Smith), Orizaba (F. D. Godman & H. H. Smith), San Lorenzo, Cordova 
(M. Trujillo), Temax in N. Yucatan (Gaumer); GuaveMAta, near the city, Capetillo 
(Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson); Costa Rica (Van Patten); Panama, 
Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).— VENEZUELA ®, La Guayra ¢. 
This common species appears to vary considerably in colour; and 7. proxima, Sign., 
seems to be nothing more than a variety of it. Signoret himself is doubtful on the 
point (d.¢c. p. 361). 
_ We figure a specimen of the ordinary form and one of the var. proxima, both from 
Mexico. 
70. Tettigonia flavoguttata. (Tab. XVII. fig. 10.)
